Quality
80%
Lower quality means a smaller file. WebP keeps any transparency in the HEIC. HEIC photos decode locally — the first one may take a moment.
Files are converted in your browser and never uploaded. Metadata is removed automatically.

Why this one

Built against the ways these tools disappoint.

We ran the same files through the popular alternatives first. These are the gaps we found, and what this tool does instead.

01

Most HEIC converters only offer JPG, so you convert twice to reach WebP.

This goes straight from HEIC to WebP in one pass, so the image is only re-encoded once.

test: compare against a heic→jpg→webp round trip
02

Batch converters cap the free tier at ten or twenty files.

No file-count limit — your machine does the work, so there is nothing to meter.

test: drop forty photos at once
03

You cannot tell what the conversion cost until after you download.

Each file lists its original and converted size side by side before you save.

test: drop one photo and read the two numbers
The detail

How this actually works.

HEIC is what iPhones save photos in; WebP is Google’s web format — small files, transparency, and support in every modern browser. Converting HEIC to WebP is what you do when an iPhone photo is headed onto a website and you want it light without an obvious quality drop.

The small edge here is that it goes straight from HEIC to WebP in one pass. Most converters only output JPG, so reaching WebP means a HEIC→JPG→WebP round trip that re-encodes the image twice and loses a little more each time. One pass keeps it cleaner, you pick the quality, and each file shows its original and converted size so you see exactly what the compression cost.

Everything runs in your browser and your photos are never uploaded. Browsers can’t read Apple’s HEIC on their own, so a small decoder library loads the first time you drop a file; your photo isn’t part of that request.

Want a different output? HEIC to PNG is lossless for editing, HEIC to PDF combines photos into one document, and the format field guide helps you choose.

FAQ

The questions people actually type in.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion happens inside your browser and the photo is never sent anywhere. One caveat specific to HEIC: browsers cannot decode Apple's format on their own, so a small decoder library downloads the first time you drop a file. Your image is not part of that request.

Why won't my iPhone photos open on Windows?

iPhones save in HEIC, Apple's high-efficiency format. It stores excellent quality at half the size, but support outside Apple devices is patchy, which is why most people convert before sharing.

Should I convert HEIC to WebP or JPG?

WebP if the image is going on a website — smaller files at the same quality, plus transparency. JPG if it is going to a client, a printer, or anyone whose software you cannot predict.

Does converting lose quality?

WebP compression discards some data, but at 80 the difference is normally invisible at ordinary viewing size. The before and after sizes are shown for every file.

Can I convert several HEIC photos at once?

Yes, with no file-count limit. Download them individually or as a single ZIP.
