Convert HEIC to WebP for optimized web performance. Reduce file size while maintaining quality for faster website loading.
HEIC vs WEBP: Technical Overview
Why Convert HEIC to WEBP?
If you publish iPhone photos on a website, WebP is the efficient choice. Uploading HEIC directly usually fails or gets converted to a large JPEG by the platform, while WebP files are small, load quickly and are accepted by WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and most modern site builders.
For bloggers, online stores, real-estate listings and portfolios built from phone photos, converting straight from HEIC to WebP avoids a generation of JPEG compression and keeps pages fast. Faster image loading improves Core Web Vitals, which helps both search visibility and conversions.

HEIC to WEBP — Frequently Asked Questions
Is WebP smaller than HEIC?
At the quality 75 setting CNVRT uses for WebP, the result is typically similar to or smaller than the HEIC. Both formats are far smaller than JPEG.
Why not upload HEIC to my website directly?
Chrome, Edge and Firefox don't display HEIC images on web pages, so most visitors wouldn't see them. WebP displays in all current browsers.
Will the photo look different?
At normal viewing sizes it looks the same. Colors are converted to the standard sRGB color space used on the web.
Is the resolution kept?
Yes. The WebP has the same pixel dimensions as the HEIC photo.
What happens to Live Photos?
The still photo is converted. The motion part isn't included, since WebP output here is a single still image.
