HEIC to WebP Converter
Convert HEIC and HEIF photos (typically from iPhones and iPads) to WebP — the modern web image format developed by Google. WebP produces files 25–35% smaller than JPG at equivalent quality, making it the ideal format for web publishing. Everything runs in your browser — your photos are never uploaded to any server.

Why Convert HEIC to WebP?
WebP is the modern standard for web images, developed by Google and now supported by all major browsers. It offers:
- Smaller files than JPG — WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, meaning faster page loads.
- Smaller files than PNG — WebP lossy compression beats PNG file sizes while keeping excellent quality.
- Transparency support — unlike JPG, WebP supports an alpha channel for transparent backgrounds.
- Universal browser support — Chrome, Firefox, Safari (since 2020), Edge, and Opera all support WebP.
If you're publishing iPhone photos on a website or web app, converting HEIC → WebP gives you the best combination of quality and file size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is WebP supported everywhere?
All modern browsers support WebP — Chrome, Firefox, Safari (14+), Edge, and Opera. If you need to support very old browsers (IE 11 or Safari 13 and below), JPG or PNG are safer choices. For virtually all modern web use, WebP is excellent.
Will converting HEIC to WebP reduce quality?
WebP uses lossy compression similar to JPG. At 85% quality the difference is imperceptible for photographs. If you're archiving originals, use 95% quality or consider PNG for lossless output.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. This tool uses a WebAssembly-based HEIC decoder that runs entirely in your browser. Your photos never leave your device.
Can I convert multiple photos at once?
Yes — select as many files as you like. Each one is queued and converted in sequence.
What's the difference between HEIC and HEIF?
HEIF is the container format; HEIC is Apple's specific implementation of it. For practical purposes they are the same thing — both use the .heic or .heif file extension and both are converted by this tool.
