How to do it

  1. Drop your HEIC files below.
  2. Each one decodes on arrival. Format is already set to WebP.
  3. Press Convert. Quality 85 keeps files small with no visible difference.

The closest match to what HEIC was doing

HEIC and WebP are both modern formats built for the same job: keep the picture, throw away far more data than JPG can. Converting HEIC to WebP therefore preserves the small file sizes you were getting on the phone, unlike JPG which will typically produce a noticeably larger file from the same photo.

Right for websites, wrong for uploads

If the photos are going onto a website, WebP is the best choice on this page. If they are going into an upload form, a printing service, a marketplace listing or an email attachment for someone on Windows, use JPG — WebP still gets rejected in plenty of places.

Two lossy passes

The HEIC is decoded and then re-compressed as WebP, so this is a second lossy pass over an already-lossy file. At quality 85 the result is visually identical. Push to 92 or higher if the photo is destined for further editing.

Questions

Is this free?

Yes. No account, no watermark, no cap on how many files you convert.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.

Will the WebP be smaller than the JPG would be?

Yes, usually noticeably so. WebP compresses far more efficiently than JPG, which is why converting HEIC to JPG often surprises people with a larger file than they started with.

Can I email these?

You can, but do not. Many mail clients and Windows viewers still refuse WebP. Convert to JPG for anything you are sending to another person.

Does it work on a batch?

Yes. Drop the whole set and download one zip. Only the first file waits for the decoder to load.

Does this keep the photo metadata?

No. Location, camera settings and timestamps are dropped during conversion. For camera-roll photos that is a privacy improvement, and it is the default here deliberately.
