Questions
About HEIC to PNG
Should I choose PNG or JPG for HEIC photos?
Choose JPG for sharing photos — the files are far smaller. Choose PNG when you will keep editing the image or need transparency, and file size matters less.
Why is the PNG so large?
HEIC compresses photos very efficiently, while PNG stores every pixel without loss. A 2 MB iPhone photo can become a 10–20 MB PNG. Use HEIC to JPG if size matters.
Can I convert many images at once?
Yes. Drop a whole folder's worth of images, set one output for the whole batch, and convert them in one go. Several results download together as a single ZIP.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Wemute converts files inside your browser tab with your device's own processor. The file contents and names never reach our servers, and nothing is kept after you close the page.
Format comparison
How HEIC and PNG differ
| HEIC | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy (HEVC), very efficient | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Storing photos on iPhone and iPad | Screenshots, logos, graphics with text |
| Compatibility | Apple devices; limited on Windows and the web | Universal |
HEIC: About half the size of a JPG at similar quality, but many websites and apps still refuse it. PNG: Keeps every pixel and transparency, so photos become much larger than JPG.
