Convert HEIC photos from an iPhone to WebP. WebP is a good fit when you're uploading photos to a website, blog, or CMS that accepts it and you want a smaller file than a JPG would give you at similar quality.

WebP vs. JPG for this conversion

Both are lossy formats, so this is still a re-encode, not a lossless copy. WebP generally compresses more efficiently than JPG at a comparable visual quality, which is the whole reason to reach for it. If you need the widest possible compatibility instead — email, older software, or someone who might not recognize a .webp file — use HEIC to JPG instead. If you need a lossless copy for further editing, use HEIC to PNG.

FAQ

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.
Why WebP instead of JPG?
WebP typically produces a smaller file than JPG at a similar visual quality, which matters if you're uploading a lot of photos to a website or CMS and it accepts WebP. If you need maximum compatibility with older software or people who might reopen the raw file, JPG is still the safer default.
Does every site or app accept WebP?
Nearly every modern browser and most current CMS platforms and design tools accept WebP. Some older desktop software and a few legacy upload forms still don't. If you hit one of those, HEIC to JPG is the safer fallback.
Does the converted photo keep transparency?
WebP supports transparency, but it won't matter here: iPhone camera photos in HEIC are captured as a fully opaque frame with no alpha channel, so there's nothing to preserve either way.
What happens to photo metadata like location and date?
This tool focuses on the image data itself; camera/location/date metadata isn't guaranteed to carry over the same way it does when AirDropping or exporting from Photos. If you need that metadata preserved exactly, check the output before deleting your original.
