How to convert HEIC to WebP
- Select HEIC photos from your phone transfer or drop your camera roll export directly into the queue.
- Keep quality at 80 for balanced web assets, or select Lossless for graphics and detailed textures.
- Enter a target width under More settings, such as 1600 px for blog posts or 1280 px for video thumbnails.
- Click Convert to WebP and download your web images separately or packaged in a single ZIP.
Phone B-roll and thumbnail assets for creators
Capturing reference photos, behind-the-scenes B-roll, and product shots on modern iPhones results in HEIC files that video editing suites and creator platforms often reject. Converting them to WebP provides a lightweight, highly compatible format ready for web galleries and thumbnail mockups.
Setting quality to 80 strikes a strong balance between visual crispness and compact file weight for online media galleries. Because WebP is natively rendered by current browsers, your website visitors enjoy fast loading speeds without sluggish mobile data transfers.
Stripping location tags and handling burst shots
Smartphone camera files automatically embed sensitive EXIF data, including exact GPS coordinates where your media was captured. This tool strips away all EXIF tags during conversion, ensuring private location coordinates are never exposed when publishing photos online.
When processing Apple Live Photo stills or rapid burst captures contained within a single HEIC file, the engine extracts and converts the initial still frame.
Single-pass resizing and local batch encoding
Camera sensors capture massive images that waste bandwidth if uploaded to a website at native resolution. Setting a maximum width of 1600 pixels in More settings allows you to downscale and reformat images simultaneously, producing perfectly sized web assets.
Thanks to client-side WebAssembly execution via libheif, your private photos never travel to cloud servers. Batch convert entire folders of project photography without file limits, and grab the entire set using the one-click ZIP download button.
Questions
Can I convert iPhone photos on a Windows PC without installing codecs?
Yes. Decoding is powered by libheif inside your browser tab, so no Microsoft Store HEIF extensions are needed.
Will my private location information be removed?
Yes. All EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates and camera information is discarded during the WebP encoding process.
What happens if I convert a Live Photo still?
The converter reads the HEIC still component and outputs the first frame as a WebP image, ignoring the companion video clip.
Can I convert HEIC photos captured on Android smartphones?
Yes. The libheif decoder opens HEIC and HEIF files from Samsung and other Android devices just as smoothly as Apple photos.
