Up to 200 files at a time, 200 MB per file. These limits protect your browser from running out of memory, they are not commercial restrictions.

This image is being read and converted by your own browser. It is never uploaded.

How to do it

  1. Step 1: Drop your HEIC files onto the page, or click to choose them. You can also paste an image straight from the clipboard.

  2. Step 2: WebP is already selected as the output. Adjust the quality or size if you want to.

  3. Step 3: Press Convert. The work happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

  4. Step 4: Download the WebP file, or download everything as a ZIP if you converted several.

Why convert HEIC to WebP?

A good middle ground for iPhone photographs headed for a website: far more compatible than HEIC, and smaller than JPEG.

Both HEIC and WebP are lossy, so this is a re-encode. At quality 80 or above the difference is rarely visible.

WebP also brings its own advantage here: typically 25 to 35 percent smaller than a JPEG of comparable quality.

HEIC compared with WebP

The two formats are built for different jobs, and the differences decide whether this conversion is the right one. HEIC and WebP differ mainly in these respects.

Questions

Are my HEIC files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your files are read from your device and never sent to a server, because this site has no server that receives them.

Does converting to WebP lose quality?

By default yes, a little: WebP discards detail in exchange for a much smaller file, and the quality setting controls how much. At 80 or above the difference is rarely visible. WebP also has a lossless mode, which keeps every pixel at the cost of a larger file.

Can I convert several HEIC files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together, and download the results individually or as a single ZIP. Progress is shown per file and overall.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no commercial limit and no account. There are technical limits, because a browser has finite memory: very large images are flagged before conversion, and the tool says plainly when a device may struggle rather than freezing.

Does it cost anything?

No. Every format and every feature is available to everyone. There is no paid tier, no watermark and no sign-up.
