How to convert HEIC to WebP
- Click the box above or drag your HEIC files into it (you can select several at once).
- Make sure "WebP" is selected as the output format. Optionally adjust quality or set a maximum size.
- Download each WebP file, or download them all as a ZIP with Pro.
Why convert HEIC to WebP?
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default. Windows, Android, many websites and online forms can't open HEIC files, so converting them to WebP is the easiest way to share, upload or edit your photos anywhere.
WebP files are usually 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality. Converting images to WebP makes websites and online stores load faster, which also helps search rankings.
Good to know
- Use the quality slider to balance size and quality. 80–90% is visually lossless for most photos.
- Converting HEIC uses a decoder that runs in your browser. The first file takes a few seconds while it loads; the rest are fast.
