How it works
Choose photos
Pick HEIC photos with Choose photos or drop them on the page; up to 200 at once.
Set quality and size
WebP at 85% is preset. For web pages a maximum size of 1600 or 2048 px keeps files light.
Download
Convert and get each WebP file, a ZIP of all of them, or share them from your phone.
Features
Web-ready files
WebP is supported by every current browser and is usually smaller than JPG at the same visual quality.
Resize while converting
Limit the long side to 4096, 3000, 2048, 1600 or 1080 px; the image is downscaled in steps for sharp results.
Metadata choices
GPS is removed by default; EXIF is stored in the WebP EXIF chunk. Remove all metadata for public web images.
Transparency kept
HEIC images with an alpha channel become WebP files with transparency.
Limits & privacy
One photo can be up to 64 MB; a batch holds up to 200 photos. Images over 100 megapixels (50 megapixels on phones) are refused before decoding. WebP output needs a browser with a WebP encoder (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, current Safari).
HEIC decoding uses the HEVC decoder of your operating system; we do not ship or download our own decoder. Photos stay on your device – see the privacy page.
FAQ
Is WebP better than JPG for iPhone photos?
For the web, usually yes: WebP files are often 25–35% smaller at similar quality. For printing or old software, JPG is still the safer choice.
Which quality should I pick for WebP?
80–85% suits most photos on websites. Go lower for thumbnails and higher if you see artefacts in skies or skin tones.
Does Safari support WebP?
Yes, Safari displays WebP since version 14. Some older Safari versions cannot create WebP files; the page then tells you the format is not available.
Are my photos uploaded when converting HEIC to WebP?
No. The photos are decoded with your system’s HEVC decoder and encoded by your browser, all on your device.
Why does the converter say my browser cannot decode HEIC?
HEIC needs an HEVC decoder. Firefox and Chrome on Linux usually have none for web pages; Chrome or Edge on Windows and macOS, Safari and Chrome on Android work.
