Convert HEIC photos from iPhone or iPad to WebP online for free. Upload your HEIC file and download a WebP in seconds. No app installation, no signup, no watermarks.
WebP is the modern web image format supported by all browsers. Converting iPhone HEIC photos to WebP gives you a file that is compatible with all web platforms and browsers, smaller than an equivalent JPG, and supports transparency if needed. It is the optimal format for using iPhone photos directly on websites and web apps.
This conversion is ideal for web developers and content creators who want to publish iPhone photography on the web at optimal file sizes without the compatibility problems that come with HEIC, and without the larger file sizes of JPG.
HEIC is efficient but web-incompatible. WebP is the ideal web delivery format — smaller than JPG, supported everywhere that matters.
Photographers and content creators who shoot on iPhone and publish to websites face two problems: HEIC is not supported by web servers and browsers as a delivery format, and converting to JPG produces larger files than necessary. Converting HEIC directly to WebP skips JPG entirely, giving you a web-compatible file that is 25 to 35 percent smaller than an equivalent JPG from the same source photo.
Modern social platforms and blog CMSes accept WebP and benefit from its smaller file sizes — faster uploads, smaller previews, and better performance on mobile. Converting iPhone photos from HEIC to WebP before uploading provides the best combination of quality and size for any web-first publishing workflow.
Mobile apps that accept photo uploads from iOS users may receive HEIC files. Processing those on the server or in the browser and re-serving them as WebP is an efficient pipeline that reduces storage costs and image delivery bandwidth while maintaining high visual quality.
Quick answers about how this tool works and how to get the best results.
Yes, for web delivery WebP is better than JPG. At the same visual quality, WebP produces files 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG. All modern browsers support WebP. Converting HEIC photos to WebP instead of JPG results in faster page loads and lower bandwidth usage without any visible quality difference.
WebP and HEIC both achieve efficient compression, though HEIC is slightly more efficient at very high quality settings. At quality settings of 80 to 90 for WebP, the visual result is indistinguishable from the original HEIC for photography. For web delivery, WebP at 85 quality is an excellent choice.
Safari on iOS 14 and later supports WebP for display. You can view WebP files in Safari on iPhone without any additional app. If you need to edit or share the WebP file through apps that do not support WebP, converting to JPG instead may be more practical.
Yes. Your HEIC file is decoded in your browser and is never sent to any server. Close or reload the tab and the image data is cleared from memory.
