HEIC to WebP Converter
Publishing iPhone photos on a website or blog? WebP keeps them small and sharp, and every modern browser displays it. Convert straight from HEIC without an extra JPG step.
JPG photos are placed in the PDF exactly as they are (no quality loss), so metadata such as the location stays inside the PDF. To remove it first, use Remove EXIF Data.
Tip: the first HEIC photo can take a few seconds while the HEIC decoder loads (a one-time download of about 3 MB). After that, conversions are quick.
How to convert HEIC to WebP
- Drop one or more HEIC files into the box above — or click to choose them.
- Adjust the quality if you like — each file is converted to WebP straight away.
- Download a single file, or all of them at once as a ZIP.
Why convert HEIC to WebP?
- Small, high-quality images that load fast on websites.
- One step from iPhone photo to web-ready image.
- Works for WordPress, Shopify, Wix and most site builders.
When this conversion makes sense
Use this to prepare iPhone photos for a website or an app: WebP is far smaller than PNG and opens in all current browsers.
Good to know
- Some older software cannot open WebP. For email and forms, JPG is the safer choice.
- The decoder that opens HEIC loads when you add the first photo (about 3 MB, once). After that, conversions are quick.

Frequently asked questions
Is WebP smaller than HEIC?
Usually slightly larger than HEIC at the same quality, but WebP is displayed by every modern browser, while HEIC isn’t.
What quality should I use for a blog?
75–85% is a good balance. For hero images you might also want to resize to around 2000 px wide with our Image Resizer.
Does it work on Windows?
Yes. The HEIC decoder runs in your browser, so no extra software or Windows extension is needed.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser on your own device. Your images are never sent to Imgovo or anyone else.
Can I convert several images at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many images as you like. They are converted one after another, and you can download each file or all of them together as a ZIP.
Can I undo a change?
Yes. Undo and Redo appear above the list once you add files (or press Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z). They bring back a file you removed, undo “Clear all” and return to the previous quality or format — files are converted again automatically when needed.
Is the converter free?
Yes — free, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limit.
