How did this tool do?

Taking iPhone photos straight to the web

Browsers other than Safari can't display HEIC, so an iPhone photo has to be converted before it goes on a website. WebP is the format built for that: small files that every current browser shows, usually noticeably smaller than the same photo as JPG.

Converting straight from HEIC to WebP compresses the photo once. Going HEIC to JPG and then JPG to WebP compresses it twice, and loses a little more detail each time.

WebP is a web format first. For sending photos to people, printing, or uploading to forms, HEIC to JPG is the more compatible choice. Live Photos and bursts give you their first frame.

Where you'll meet it

  • Blog posts and portfolios

    Put iPhone photos on a site without a heavy JPG in between.

  • Online shops

    Product photos taken on a phone, ready for the product page.

  • Page-speed targets

    WebP helps pass “serve images in next-gen formats” checks.

Why not convert HEIC to JPG first?

Each lossy conversion loses a little detail. Going straight from HEIC to WebP compresses the photo once instead of twice.

Can everyone see a WebP image?

Every current browser displays WebP. Some older apps and upload forms don't accept it, so use JPG for anything outside a website.

What happens to Live Photos?

The first frame is converted to a still WebP.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, so the files never leave your device and it keeps working with your connection off.
