How to convert iPhone Photos (HEIC) to WebP

  1. 01.

    Add your HEIC photos.

  2. 02.

    WebP is already selected: press Process.

  3. 03.

    Download the WebP files or the complete ZIP.

From your iPhone to your website

Every current browser shows WebP, but browsers cannot show HEIC. Converting your photos straight to WebP gives you a web-ready file in one step, ready for a blog, a store, or a portfolio.

Quality and size

The photo is opened at JPG quality 95 and saved as WebP at maximum quality, so it stays sharp. That is not the smallest possible file: the WebP can even be larger than a JPG. Continue to Compress and choose a quality of 75–85 for a much lighter image.

Common problems and how to fix them

  • My website builder rejects WebP

    Some older builders only accept JPG or PNG. Use HEIC to JPG instead; the rest of the workflow is the same.

  • The page is still slow

    Most of the weight comes from the number of pixels. Resize the photos to the width your layout shows before compressing.

  • The WebP looks too soft

    Raise the quality when compressing; for photos with fine detail, 85–90 works well.

🔗 Keep going without uploading again

A typical website workflow: HEIC to WebP, then Resize to the width your layout uses, then Compress. All three steps work on the same photos without uploading them again.

Frequently Asked Questions

We answer your questions about privacy, features, and limits.

Do all browsers show WebP?
Yes. Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari display WebP images.
Why is my WebP bigger than the JPG?
Convert saves at maximum quality to keep every detail. Use Compress afterwards to choose the balance between size and quality.
Should I resize the photos first?
iPhone photos have about 12 megapixels, far more than a web page shows. Resize to the display width, or twice that for sharp results on phones, to make the page faster.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The file is processed by your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a FreeConvertYou server.
Can I convert HEIC photos to WebP on a phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser, on a computer or a phone, and the photos never leave your device.
Should I keep the HEIC originals?
Yes. Keep them as your master copies and publish the WebP versions.
