This tool compresses HEIC photos into small JPG or WebP files by lowering the quality and the resolution, so they fit e-mail attachments, upload forms and websites. Everything happens in your browser.

How it works
Choose photos
Select HEIC photos with Choose photos or drop them on the page; up to 200 at once.
Pick size and quality
JPG at 70% and a 2048 px long side are preset – about 300–600 KB per photo. Switch to WebP for even smaller files.
Compare and save
Each card shows the size before and after; the total saving is shown at the end. Download a ZIP or share the photos.
Features
Resolution is the big lever
A 12 MP iPhone photo reduced to 2048 px keeps enough detail for screens and is many times lighter.
Quality slider
Fine-tune the JPG or WebP quality from 40% to 100% and see the effect on the file sizes.
Date kept, location removed
By default the date taken and camera stay in the EXIF and the GPS position is removed.
Works on your phone
Convert straight from your photo library and save the small copies back with Share – no app needed.
Limits & privacy
Photos up to 64 MB each, up to 200 photos per batch; images over 100 megapixels (50 megapixels on phones) are refused before decoding. Sizes in the FAQ are typical values, not guarantees.
Decoding needs the HEVC decoder of your system (Chrome or Edge on Windows 10/11 and macOS, Safari 17+, Chrome on most Android phones); Firefox usually cannot decode HEIC. See the privacy page.
FAQ
Can I compress a HEIC file and keep it as HEIC?
No. Browsers can decode HEIC but not encode it, so the compressed copy is a JPG or WebP. HEIC is already very compact; most savings come from a smaller resolution.
How small will my photos be?
With the defaults (2048 px, 70%), a typical 12 MP iPhone photo becomes a few hundred kilobytes. The exact size depends on detail and noise.
Which is smaller, JPG or WebP?
WebP is usually 25–35% smaller at similar quality. Choose JPG if the photos go to older software or a form that only accepts JPG.
Will compressing ruin the quality?
At 70% and 2048 px photos look fine on phones and laptops. For printing, use a larger size and 85–95% quality.
Are my photos uploaded to compress them?
No. All compression happens in your browser; the photos never leave your device.
How do I reduce a photo for an upload limit of 1 MB?
Keep 2048 px and 70% quality; nearly all photos end up under 1 MB. If one is still too big, choose 1600 px.
