HEIC to WebP Converter

Convert HEIC images to WebP and reduce file sizes without visible quality loss. Free, instant, and 100% private.

If you are serving HEIC images on the web, converting to WebP is one of the highest-leverage performance wins available — typically 25–35% smaller files at the same visual quality, supported in every modern browser. You will most often encounter HEIC files as photos shot on iPhone or iPad, images exported from Apple Photos or iCloud, screenshots taken on macOS Ventura and later, and WebP is the obvious destination when your goal is website assets. Converter.Plus runs the whole HEIC→WebP conversion locally in your browser — there is no upload, no signup, no watermark, and no per-file size cap. Drop a single file or a whole batch and grab the results as individual downloads or a single ZIP.

Files are never uploaded.

About HEIC → WebP conversion

WebP is Google's web-optimized format — delivering 25–35% smaller files than an equivalent JPG at the same visual quality, which translates to faster page loads and lower bandwidth costs. All modern browsers support WebP natively, and Converter.Plus makes the HEIC→WebP conversion entirely in your browser without any upload or server round-trip.

High Efficiency Image Container (HEIC) was introduced by Apple in 2017 with iOS 11 as the default iPhone camera format. HEIC is built on the HEIF standard from MPEG and uses the HEVC (H.265) codec to deliver roughly 50% smaller files than JPG at the same quality. Apple chose it so iPhones could double effective storage without sacrificing photo fidelity. You will most often encounter HEIC files as photos shot on iPhone or iPad, images exported from Apple Photos or iCloud, screenshots taken on macOS Ventura and later.
