About HEIC

HEIC is Apple's default photo format since iOS 11. It compresses well but has almost no support outside Apple's ecosystem — most browsers, CMSes, and Windows tools reject it outright.

About WebP

WebP is the modern web image format supported by every current browser. It gives you JPG-level compatibility with much smaller files, plus optional transparency and animation.

Why convert HEIC to WebP?

Convert HEIC → WebP when you're pushing iPhone photos straight to a website, storefront, or portfolio and want the smallest file the browser can render at good quality. Skip WebP only when your destination doesn't understand it (some email clients, print, older Safari).

What people use it for

  • Publish iPhone photos to a website without huge JPG payloads
  • Speed up a product gallery or portfolio built from iPhone shots
  • Batch-convert a Camera Roll export for the web (Pro)
  • Feed HEIC photos into a CMS that supports WebP
  • Reduce a photo-heavy blog post's page weight

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop a .heic file

    Click the drop zone or drag any HEIC file in. Files stay on your device.

  2. 2

    Adjust quality (optional)

    Drag the quality slider. 90%+ is visually indistinguishable from the source; lower values shrink the file further.

  3. 3

    Click Convert to WebP

    The conversion runs in your browser. When it's done, click Download.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just use JPG?
WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality. If your destination speaks WebP (any modern browser does), it's the better choice.
Will the photo look worse?
At 85%+ quality, the difference from the HEIC source is not visible on typical screens. Both formats are lossy — this is a re-encode, not a lossless copy.
Does WebP support Live Photos or bursts?
No. Only the still image is converted. Multi-image HEIC containers give you the primary frame as a WebP.
Which browsers can I upload the WebP to?
Any browser released since 2020 — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 14+, plus in-app browsers on iOS and Android.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser. Everything stays on your device.
