Turn iPhone and iPad photos into small WebP files for websites, blogs and shops - for any app at all use HEIC to JPG.
Want it even smaller? Compress WebP squeezes it further.
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.
Just want a quick look first? Open it in the HEIC Viewer.

Test files are in the HEIC sample files.
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.
