Convert HEIC to WebP

WebP files are usually noticeably smaller than JPG at similar visual quality, which makes them a good choice for photos you publish on a website. Conversion happens in your browser, and nothing is uploaded.

How to convert HEIC to WebP

  1. Add your photos. Drop HEIC files onto the frame at the top of the page, choose them from your device, or paste them. You can add up to 100 at once.
  2. Check the format. WebP is already selected on this page. Quality 80 is a good starting point for web photos.
  3. Download. Each photo converts automatically as soon as you add it. Download them one by one, or take everything at once as a ZIP.

Why WebP for web photos

Page speed depends heavily on image weight. Google’s own comparisons report WebP lossy images around 25 to 34 percent smaller than JPG at equivalent quality, and every current major browser can display them. Smaller images mean faster pages, which helps both visitors and search rankings.

WebP also supports transparency, so one format can replace both JPG and PNG on most sites.

Where WebP does not work well

  • Older software. Some desktop editors, print shops and email clients still do not open WebP. Use JPG for anything you hand to other people.
  • Social uploads. Some platforms re-encode or reject WebP.
  • Safari and creation. Some browsers, Safari among them, cannot create WebP files from inside a web page. If that is your case you will see a clear message, and you can switch to JPG or PNG. Chrome, Edge and Firefox all work.

Recommended settings

For photos on a website, use quality 75 to 82 and set "Largest side" to the widest your layout actually shows, often 1920 px or less. Phones shoot at 4000 pixels or more across, which is far larger than any page needs.

Frequently asked questions

Is WebP better than JPG?

For web delivery, usually yes: smaller files at similar quality. For compatibility with software and print, JPG is still safer.

Why does it say my browser cannot create WebP?

Some browsers, including Safari, cannot encode WebP from within a page. Use Chrome, Edge or Firefox for this conversion, or choose JPG instead.

Does WebP support transparency?

Yes, but ordinary camera photos have none, so they will be opaque.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. WebP conversion runs entirely in your browser.

Can I use WebP in WordPress?

Yes. WordPress has supported uploading WebP images since version 5.8.
