When to convert HEIC to WEBP
Default iPhone photo format. Decoded on your device before upscaling, 10-bit files need an 8-bit copy first.
WEBP is usually 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, which makes web pages load faster.
How it works on your device

- Some recent iPhone HEIC photos are 10-bit. If one fails to open, export an 8-bit copy from Photos first.
- Colour profiles are read on decode and the output is written in sRGB, the colour space every screen and browser expects.
How to convert HEIC to WEBP
- Open the converter and drop your .heic files, up to 200 at a time.
- Choose WEBP as the output and set the quality.
- Convert, then download each file or one ZIP of the batch.
Questions
Is converting HEIC to WEBP free?
Yes. Conversion runs in your browser on every plan, with no account, no watermark and batches of up to 200 files.
Are my HEIC files uploaded?
No. The browser decodes each file and encodes the new one on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Does converting HEIC to WEBP lose quality?
WEBP is lossy at the quality you pick. At 80 to 90 it looks the same as the source for photos and is much smaller.
Can I make the WEBP bigger at the same time?
Converting keeps the pixel size. To enlarge, run the upscaler afterwards: 2× is free and also runs on your device.
Why will my HEIC not open on Windows?
Windows needs an extra codec for HEIC. Converting to JPG or PNG gives a file that opens without it.
