HEIC to WebP Converter
Convert HEIC — the format iPhones save photos in — into WebP, small files, supported everywhere on the web. Runs entirely in your browser.
Why convert HEIC to WebP?
WebP is the useful middle ground: nearly as efficient as HEIC, and displayed by every browser in current use. If the destination is a website or a CMS — anywhere the file will be served over a network — this keeps the size advantage that made the phone shoot HEIC in the first place, instead of throwing it away on a JPEG.
What changes when HEIC becomes WebP
Lossy WebP at quality 80, typically a little smaller than the equivalent JPEG and far smaller than a PNG. As with any HEIC conversion the EXIF block does not survive, because the file has to be decoded to raw pixels first.
Why this one is different
Every other HEIC to WebP converter uploads your files to their server, which is why they cap file sizes and ask you to sign up. This one does the work on your own machine, so it can afford not to.

Questions
How do I convert HEIC to WebP?
Drop your HEIC files onto the box above and each one is converted to WebP straight away. Then download the results, individually or together as a ZIP. There is no upload step and no account.
Will a WebP open on a Mac or PC?
In any browser, yes. On the desktop it is more mixed — current Windows Photos and macOS Preview handle it, older viewers and some print software do not. If the file is going somewhere outside a browser, JPG is the safer target.
Is WebP smaller than HEIC?
Usually not. HEVC is the more efficient codec, so expect the WebP to be somewhat larger than the HEIC you started with. You are trading a little size for a format things can actually open.
Do my files get uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in this tab. Your files are never sent to a server, which is why this still works if you disconnect from the network after the page has loaded.
