Convert on our server?

If you continue, the file is uploaded over an encrypted connection and converted on our server. You can keep using the site meanwhile. The original is deleted as soon as it is converted; the result is kept for 7 days so you can download it, and you can delete it at any time. Files are never shared or used for anything else.

Your images are processed in your browser and are not uploaded. If a file is too large for your browser or in a format it can’t handle, we ask before converting it on our server. The original is deleted right after conversion; the result is kept for 7 days for you to download, unless you delete it sooner. Privacy details

About this tool

HEIC is the format iPhones and iPads use for photos by default. It is efficient but many websites, Windows programs and older devices cannot open it. WebP is a modern web format from Google. It makes files much smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality and supports transparency.

Converting to WebP is useful for faster websites, online shops and blogs. Safari reads HEIC directly; in other browsers the tool downloads a HEIC decoder once (about 0.8 MB) and runs it on your device. Photos are saved upright, as you see them on your phone.

Files are converted in your browser and are not uploaded to a server. If a file is too large for your device, the tool explains why and asks before sending it anywhere. Hidden metadata such as the GPS location is not copied into the WebP.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs in your own browser, so your files stay on your device. Only if a file is too large for your browser does the tool offer server processing, and it asks you first.

Will I lose quality converting HEIC to WebP?

WebP uses lossy compression, so there is a small loss. At the default quality it is very hard to see; choose a higher quality for sharper files or a lower one for smaller files.

Will the WebP have a transparent background?

No. HEIC images have no transparency, so the WebP keeps the same solid background as the original.

How do I stop my iPhone taking HEIC photos?

On the iPhone, open Settings → Camera → Formats and choose “Most Compatible”. New photos are then saved as JPG; existing photos stay HEIC.

Is the image's metadata kept?

No. The WebP is created from the image pixels only, so EXIF data such as the GPS location, camera model and capture time is not copied. This is useful before sharing images online.
