Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert HEIC to WebP?

Three steps:

  1. Drop your HEIC files onto the area above, or click to select
  2. Each file is decoded losslessly in your browser and re-encoded as WebP at 92% quality
  3. Click Save next to each result to download
Why convert HEIC to WebP?

WebP has nearly universal browser support (96%+ of users) and supports transparency. If your HEIC photos were destined for a website, blog, social media, or any user-facing web destination, WebP is the format that actually delivers. HEIC is excellent for archiving on Apple devices, but it's a niche format outside the Apple ecosystem.

Converting preserves the image quality but doesn't shrink the file — HEIC is already efficiently compressed.

Will the WebP be smaller than the HEIC?

Usually not. Your HEIC is already highly compressed by iOS; this converter re-encodes at 92% quality to preserve what you see, so the WebP typically comes out similar in size or slightly larger. Converting here is about compatibility, not compression — if you need a smaller file, use the Image Compressor.

Do all browsers support WebP?

WebP is supported by:

  • Chrome and Edge — since 2014
  • Firefox — since 2019
  • Safari — since Safari 14 (September 2020)

That covers 96%+ of web users today. For older browsers or apps that don't accept WebP, serve a JPG fallback or use HEIC to JPG.

Does this work with .heif files too?

Yes — .heic and .heif use the same HEIF container, just different extensions. The converter accepts both.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 50 HEIC files in one batch. Each file is decoded and encoded in your browser; iPhone images typically take a few seconds each.

Is this converter private?

Yes. All conversion happens locally in your browser using heic2any and the Canvas API. Your photos are never uploaded to a server or stored anywhere except on your device.
