HEIC to WebP converter
Convert HEIC images to WebP in your browser — re-encoded once at the quality you choose. Free, no sign-up, nothing uploaded.
Part of image tools and design tools.
Reads PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, SVG, AVIF, HEIC, TIFF. Writes PNG, JPEG, WebP, ICO — ICO with every icon size up to 256 px. HEIC and TIFF decoders load only when you pick such a file.
What happens to quality
Both formats are lossy, so this is a second round of compression: the WebP is encoded from pixels the HEIC has already simplified. At 85% quality or more the extra loss is hard to see; lower than that, artefacts from both encoders stack up. Convert from the best original you have rather than from a copy that has already been through this once. WebP is typically 25-35% smaller than a JPEG of the same visual quality and every current browser displays it, which makes it the sensible target for images going on a website.
What happens to transparency
HEIC and WebP both have an alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels come through as they are — a logo on a transparent background stays on a transparent background.
iPhone photos, Live Photos and bursts
Most browsers outside Safari cannot open HEIC, so this page loads an HEIC decoder (libheif, compiled to WebAssembly) the first time you pick one — it runs in the tab like the rest, and nothing is sent anywhere. An HEIC can hold several images: the stills of a Live Photo, a burst, a depth map. The converter keeps the main image, the one your camera roll shows, and tells you when there were others. The rotation the phone recorded is applied, so a portrait shot comes out upright.
If your browser cannot write WebP
Every current browser displays WebP, but not every one can write it — older Safari versions in particular. When the browser silently hands back something else, the converter notices and says so, rather than giving you a file named .webp that is really a PNG. PNG and JPG work everywhere.
Your HEIC never leaves this page
Most online HEIC to WebP converters upload the file to a server and send the result back. This one decodes and re-encodes it with the image APIs built into your browser, so the WebP you download was produced on your own machine — you can check by opening the network tab, or by going offline and converting anyway.
