HEIC to WebP.
Lightest photo format.
Turn iPhone HEIC photos into WebP — typically a quarter smaller than JPG at the same look — decoded locally in your browser, nothing uploaded.
How do I convert HEIC to WebP? Add your .heic or .heif file, set the quality (85% suits most photos), and download the WebP. The decoder runs on your device — the photo is never uploaded.
HEIC to WebP converter
The decoder (~1.3 MB) downloads once per visit and everything after that happens locally. Burst photos and Live Photos contain multiple images — this tool converts the primary one.
How to convert HEIC to WebP
- Add your HEIC or HEIF file — drag it in or browse; the decoder loads once, then works offline.
- Set the WebP quality — 85% suits most photos and lands far smaller than the JPG equivalent.
- Download the WebP — preview first, then save. Your original HEIC stays untouched.
Why WebP for iPhone photos
- Size — WebP typically runs 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality; for sites and modern apps that's free savings on every image
- Compatibility — every current browser displays WebP, and Windows 11, macOS, and major social platforms accept it
- When to pick JPG instead — old desktop software, some print shops, and a few upload portals still expect JPG; HEIC to JPG covers those
Good to know
HEIC already compresses well, so converting isn't about shrinking your library — it's about compatibility (many apps can't open HEIC at all) with WebP keeping the smallest footprint while doing it. Need lossless output for editing? HEIC to PNG. Want the smallest file a strict form will accept? Run the result through the target-size compressor. Building a site? JPG to WebP handles the rest of your images the same way.
Why convert HEIC to WebP instead of JPG?
WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, and every modern browser displays it. For websites and modern apps, WebP is the lighter choice; keep JPG for older software and print shops.
Is my photo uploaded during conversion?
No. The HEIC decoder is downloaded to your browser once and runs locally — the photo itself never leaves your device.
Which apps can open WebP?
All current browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox), Windows 11 photo tools, macOS Preview, and most design and social tools. Very old software may not — convert to JPG in that case.
