How to use the HEIC to WebP
- Add your HEIC photos.
- WebP is selected as the output format. Choose a quality between 75% and 85% for web use.
- Press “Convert”, then download the files or a ZIP.
Why WebP is a good fit for HEIC photos
HEIC files are small but browsers such as Chrome and Firefox cannot display them. WebP is supported by all current browsers and also compresses photos well, so converting HEIC directly to WebP avoids the extra size of a JPG step.
This is useful for bloggers, online shop owners and anyone uploading phone photos to a website builder that supports WebP.
Bulk HEIC to WebP: convert a whole album
Select or drag in all your HEIC files at once. Every photo is converted with the same quality setting, and “Download All” gives you one ZIP file. Because the conversion runs in your browser, there is no upload queue and no limit on the number of files – only your device’s speed matters.
HEIC to WebP and compress in one step
The quality slider controls compression. 80% is a good default for website photos; 60–70% makes files much smaller for thumbnails and galleries. If the photos are also too large in pixels (iPhone photos are about 4032 × 3024), resize them afterwards with the Image Resizer for even smaller files.
HEIC vs WebP
Both formats compress photos much better than JPG. HEIC is Apple’s camera format and is not shown by most web browsers; WebP is designed for the web and works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. Use HEIC on your phone and WebP on your website.
