HEIF to WebP Converter

Turn HEIF photos from Android phones, cameras and iPhones into small WebP files for websites, blogs and shops - for any app at all use HEIF to JPG.

How to convert HEIF to WEBP

  1. Add your HEIF files. Drop up to 50 HEIF 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 HEIF to WebP?

Samsung, Google Pixel and many cameras can save photos as HEIF, and iPhones use the same container.

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 HEIF 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

HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) is a modern photo container used by Samsung, Pixel and many cameras. HEIC is the same container as used by iPhones. This page reads both.

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 HEIF 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.
