Add up to 30 iPhone HEIC photos (up to 50 MB each) and download them as WebP files, lossy at the quality you choose (10 to 100, default 85) or lossless. The tool has its own HEIC decoder, so it works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on any system, and the photos are converted in your browser without being uploaded.
Convert HEIC photos to WebP for the web
WebP is a format built for the web. Converting iPhone HEIC photos to WebP gives you files that every current browser displays, while keeping them small. WebP files are usually smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, which makes WebP a good format for websites, web apps and online stores.
Why WebP instead of HEIC for the web
HEIC compresses well, but browsers other than Safari don't display it. WebP, developed by Google, works in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 14 and later, and other current browsers. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation. For photos going onto a website, blog or store, WebP is usually the better target.
WebP vs JPG
At similar visual quality, WebP files are usually noticeably smaller than JPG, which means faster pages for your visitors. For images with transparency, WebP keeps the alpha channel like PNG, at a much smaller size.
Private processing
The conversion runs in your browser, and your HEIC photos are never uploaded. The WebP files are saved without the original EXIF data, which removes the GPS location as well. The HEIC decoder, libheif, is listed with its license on the open source licenses page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is WebP better than HEIC?
It depends on where the photo goes. HEIC files are often a bit smaller and are the iPhone's native format. WebP works in every current browser, so it's the better choice for web content.
Does WebP support transparency?
Yes, in both lossy and lossless mode. If your HEIC image has transparency, the WebP keeps it, at a much smaller size than a PNG.
Will WebP images work on all browsers?
Current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (14 and later) and Opera all support WebP. Only very old browsers, such as Internet Explorer, can't show it.
Can I control the quality of the WebP output?
Yes. The quality slider goes from 10 to 100; 80 to 85 is a good balance for the web. You can also turn on lossless WebP, which keeps the decoded photo exactly but makes larger files.
