HEIC to WebP Converter

Turn iPhone and iPad photos into small WebP files for websites, blogs and shops - for any app at all use HEIC to JPG.

How to convert HEIC to WEBP

  1. Add your HEIC files. Drop up to 50 HEIC photos into the box, or browse for them. They are decoded on your device and never uploaded.
  2. Set the WebP quality. Quality 85 looks like the original. Lossless keeps every pixel. The size shown is measured from the real file.
  3. Adjust if you like. Resize, rename, or turn on Keep EXIF to keep the date and location. Every option starts closed and shows its value.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to WebP. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

Want it even smaller? Compress WebP squeezes it further.

Why convert HEIC to WebP?

iPhones and iPads save every photo as HEIC by default.

WebP stays almost as small as HEIC but opens in every browser, WordPress and most apps.

Tips

  • For websites use the Web preset - quality 80 and 1920 px wide.
  • Safari cannot write WebP - use Chrome, Edge or Firefox for this page.
  • Need it smaller still? Try HEIC to AVIF.

Date, camera, location and colour

  • Removed by default. The WebP has no camera details, date or GPS location unless you turn on Keep EXIF.
  • Location warning. When a photo has GPS coordinates, the page tells you before you share it.
  • Colour. Phone photos are often in Display P3. Keep profile saves that wider colour; the default converts to standard sRGB that looks the same everywhere.
  • Upright. Photos are turned the right way up, and the orientation tag is reset so no app turns them twice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop your HEIC photos into the box, check the settings and press Convert to WebP.

One file downloads directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

No. Your browser decodes the HEIC and writes the WebP on your device, so private photos stay private.

Windows needs the HEIF and the paid HEVC extensions from the Microsoft Store, and many websites and programs do not read HEIC at all. Converting to WebP fixes that.

Safari displays WebP but cannot write it on web pages. Use Chrome, Edge or Firefox, or convert to JPG instead.

The WebP is usually about the size of the HEIC or a little bigger.

Only if you turn on Keep EXIF - by default they are removed. If the photo has a GPS location, the page warns you before you share it.

Bursts and collections show every picture under the preview. The first one is ticked; tick any others and each becomes its own WebP.
