Why convert HEIC to WebP?
iPhones save photos as HEIC, but only Safari shows HEIC in a browser. Every current browser shows WebP, so your photos can go straight onto a web page. Converted here, a HEIC photo usually comes out more than 50% smaller.
Why people use TinyPNG
Looks the same, weighs less
We remove detail you can't see, such as unused colors and hidden metadata. The image looks the same and the file is much smaller.
Free, no sign-up
Web Free converts 3 images per session without an account. Web Ultra has no conversion limit.
Trusted since 2012
Designers, developers, marketers and many more: millions of people use TinyPNG. Together they've shrunk over 9 billion images.

OriginalCompressedHEIC vs WebP
HEIC saves space on your iPhone, but outside Apple's apps it often won't open. WebP is made for the web. Keep HEIC on the phone; use WebP for photos on your website.

HEIC to WebP: frequently asked questions
Can I convert HEIF files to WebP?
Yes. We accept .heif files like .heic, as long as they hold HEVC or AV1 image data.
How much smaller will my WebP be?
Usually more than 50% smaller than the HEIC you upload, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG. Images that were already compressed save less.
Will my image lose quality?
The HEIC was already compressed and WebP compresses again, so a little detail goes. At normal viewing sizes it is hard to spot.
Is HEIC better than JPG?
HEIC stores photos in less space, which is why iPhones use it, but JPG opens everywhere. Converted to JPG here, iPhone photos usually come out about half the size of the HEIC, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG.
Why does my iPhone save photos as HEIC?
To save space: Apple says HEIC compresses better than JPEG at the same visual quality. The catch is compatibility, so you often need a JPG before sharing.
Is WebP lossless or lossy?
Both: a WebP file can use either mode. Converting a lossy WebP to another lossy format, such as JPG, compresses it once more. We save WebP lossy, or lossless when that comes out smaller.
Which browsers and apps support WebP?
About 97% of browsers, including Safari from version 16. Outside the browser it is patchier: Windows and Office need a free Microsoft Store extension, Gmail turns WebP into JPEG, and many upload forms reject it.
How do I convert HEIC to WebP?
Add your HEIC photos above, choose WebP and download the result. It works in your browser on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with nothing to install.
How do I open a HEIC file?
Apple devices open it, and Safari is the only browser that shows it. Windows needs two extensions from the Microsoft Store: the free HEIF Image Extension and the paid HEVC Video Extensions. Despite the name, the HEVC one is what decodes the photo. Or convert it to JPG or PNG here.
Is it free?
Yes. Web Free converts 3 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Web Pro takes bigger files, and Web Ultra converts as many as you like.
Are my images private?
Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete your images from our servers within 48 hours.
What happens to the metadata?
We remove all metadata, such as camera details, GPS location and editing history, to keep files small. Want to keep metadata? Use the developer API: it can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
