Why convert HEIC to WebP?

HEIC photos from an iPhone often won't open on Windows, Android or upload forms.

WebP files are much smaller, so websites load faster and use less storage.

What to expect

  • Live Photos convert to a still image. Location and camera details (EXIF) are not copied into the new file, which is safer for sharing.

About the formats

HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container, 2015) is the format iPhones and iPads use for photos since iOS 11. It keeps photos at about half the size of JPG, but many Windows PCs, websites and apps can't open it. HEIC and HEIF are the same container format. HEIC is the name Apple uses for photos stored with HEVC compression.

WebP (WebP, 2010) is Google's modern web format. It makes files roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG at the same visual quality and supports both transparency and animation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to WebP?

Drop your HEIC files into the box above (or tap Select files), check the options, then press Convert. Each WebP downloads on its own, or you can download them all as one ZIP file.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your HEIC files are never sent to a server, so they stay private, and it works even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.

Is there a limit on how many HEIC files I can convert?

No. Convert as many as you like, for free, without signing up. Very large batches are processed one after another so your browser stays responsive.

Why won't my iPhone photos open on Windows?

iPhones save photos as HEIC to save space. Windows needs an extra codec to open them, and many websites reject them. Converting to WebP fixes that. On the iPhone you can also switch to Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible to take new photos as JPG.

Will I lose quality converting to WebP?

WebP uses lossy compression, but at the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. Move the Quality slider up for the highest fidelity or down for smaller files.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install.
