Key capabilities

Turn iPhone photos into web-ready WebP.

Convert HEIC locally, choose the quality, and keep the original photos on your device.

  • Add HEIC or HEIF files

    Drop one photo or a batch into the workbench. Files stay in the browser and are not sent to PixLoading servers.

  • Choose WebP quality

    Use the common quality presets or adjust the quality slider. Higher quality keeps more detail and can increase file size.

  • Download WebP results

    Run the queue locally, review the output size and timing, then download each converted WebP file.

In-depth guide

A WebP copy for your next upload

Keep your HEIC original and export a separate file for a destination that accepts WebP.

Choose quality by inspecting the result

Start with the default 90 setting, then compare 80 or 70 when size matters. Look at faces, lettering, gradients, and textures at the intended display size. A quality value is an encoder setting, not a percentage of image detail preserved.

The quality guide shows measured results from three licensed test images. Your photos and browser can produce different sizes.

Convert a batch without uploading photos

The queue processes files locally, one at a time. Add at most 20 files, 20 MB each. For high-resolution photos or a phone with limited memory, start with one file or a smaller batch.

Download each completed file or a ZIP before leaving the page. If a result is too large, use the image optimizer to reduce its dimensions after conversion.

Check the destination and browser

Current browsers can display WebP, but not every browser can encode it through this tool. If the encoder returns another format, conversion fails clearly rather than downloading a mislabeled WebP.

Use JPG when the upload destination requires it. The output is a still image, with no option to preserve EXIF, HDR, or Live Photo animation.

FAQ

HEIC to WebP converter FAQ

Answers about converting iPhone HEIC photos to WebP locally.

How do I batch convert HEIC to WebP?

Add up to 20 HEIC or HEIF files, each no larger than 20 MB. Choose the quality, click Convert, then download files individually or use Download ZIP when at least two files are ready.

Are my photos uploaded or do I need an account?

No. Conversion runs in your browser on your device. No account, payment, or credits are required. Download your results before closing or refreshing the page.

Does converting HEIC to WebP lose quality?

Re-encoding can change fine detail and color. Higher quality often retains more detail and increases output size. A setting of 100 is not a guarantee of lossless output. Keep your original HEIC file.

Why is my WebP larger than my HEIC?

HEIC is already an efficient format. Output size depends on image content, pixel dimensions, browser encoder, and quality. Compare the result; lower quality or use the image optimizer to reduce dimensions if needed.

Can I convert HEIC to WebP on iPhone?

Selecting HEIC files and viewing WebP images are different from encoding WebP. iPhone Safari conversion has not been verified for this tool. If your browser cannot produce WebP, transfer the original files to a computer and try current Chrome or Firefox, or choose JPG.

Why does conversion fail in some browsers?

The browser must encode the selected output format. If it returns a different format, PixLoading reports an error instead of downloading a mislabeled file. Also check the 20 MB file limit, damaged input, and available device memory.

Does the output preserve EXIF, HDR, and Live Photos?

This tool exports a still image through a browser canvas. It does not offer EXIF or HDR preservation, lossless encoding, or Live Photo animation export. Keep the original for archival and editing.

When should I use JPG instead?

Choose JPG when a form, print service, or older application specifically requires JPEG. Choose WebP when the destination accepts it, such as a modern website.
