Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to a server?+
No. Conversion happens entirely inside your browser and your photo is never sent anywhere.
Does WEBP open everywhere?+
All modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) and current OS versions open it. Very old software may not — for formal submissions, JPG remains the safe pick.
I emailed an iPhone photo and the recipient cannot open it.+
It was probably sent as HEIC. Some sharing paths — mail attachments, certain cloud uploads — skip the iPhone's automatic conversion. Converting to JPG before you send makes it open regardless of the recipient's device.
Is there a file size limit?+
No server limits. Smartphone photos are effortless, and desktops handle files up to tens of MB.
Is it really free?+
Yes. No sign-up, no payment, no conversion limits and no watermark.
Can I pick a different output format?+
Yes — on the converter you can switch the output between JPG, PNG and WebP.
Guide
Why convert HEIC to WEBP?
WEBP (WebP) was built for the web: 25–35% smaller than JPG and far smaller than PNG at the same quality, it's the best choice for images going onto websites, blogs and online shops.
Lighter pages load faster, and WEBP is the format Google recommends — good for your search rankings too. Every modern browser supports it.
Where do HEIC files come from?
HEIC has been the iPhone's default photo format since iOS 11. With 'High Efficiency' enabled in the camera settings, every shot is saved as HEIC at roughly half the size of the equivalent JPG — Apple made it the default to save storage.
The friction starts off the phone. Windows needs a separate codec before it will even show a thumbnail, and government, school and print-order upload forms usually reject HEIC outright. Older versions of Photoshop and Office cannot open one either.
What happens to quality and size?
Encoded at a high quality setting, it's hard to distinguish from the HEIC original on screen — and transparency is preserved.
Size drops noticeably compared to HEIC — for photos, and even more so for transparent graphics compared to PNG.
