HEIC to WebP Converter
The format to reach for when the picture is going on a page you control and every kilobyte is doing work.
WebP for the web, at a fraction of the size
Smaller at a comparable setting
For most photographs WebP lands below a JPG of similar visual quality. How much below depends on the picture, so compare the two on your own images.
Pages that finish loading
Image weight is usually the largest thing on a page. Cutting it is the change users actually feel.
Quality you control
The slider runs to 100 and starts at 85, the same as the JPG converter, so you can tune the trade rather than accept a default.
Upright, full resolution
Rotation is applied while decoding. The original pixel dimensions are kept unless you set Max size, which caps the longest side — for example at 1920 or 1600 pixels for a web page.
A folder at a time
Drop the whole set in and convert it in one pass.
Nothing to install
It runs in the page. No account, no upload, no desktop software.
Stripped of location and shot date
No GPS position
Latitude, longitude and altitude are not written into the output. A photo taken at home does not tell a visitor where home is.
No timestamps
DateTimeOriginal and DateTimeDigitized are left behind. The file carries no record of when it was taken.
No camera fingerprint
Make, Model, LensModel, ISO, FNumber, ExposureTime and FocalLength do not come across.
The right default for publishing
Images on a public page should not be carrying the photographer’s address. Here that is the default, not a setting you have to remember.
Not a redaction tool
This is how the output is built, not a scrubbing feature. Nothing visible in the picture is changed.
Need the data kept instead?
Convert to JPG and the date, camera settings and GPS position are written into the new file.

Download the result
One file on its own, or a ZIP when you converted several at once.
Where WebP still gets refused
Print services
A print shop or photo kiosk will usually want a JPG. Convert for the web and keep a JPG for anything physical.
Client handoffs
If you do not know what the other side opens files with, WebP is a gamble and JPG is not.
Older desktop software
Some editors and viewers that have been around a while still do not read WebP, even though browsers do.
Frequently asked questions
Does the WebP keep camera and location data?
No. The output carries no EXIF block, so the shot date, the camera and lens fields and the GPS position are not carried over. If you need them kept, convert to JPG instead.
Is WebP smaller than JPG at the same quality?
Generally yes, at a comparable quality setting. How much smaller depends on the picture, so treat it as a tendency rather than a fixed ratio and compare the two outputs on your own images.
Where is WebP not supported?
Browsers handle it. The friction is outside the browser: older desktop software, some print services and some client workflows still expect a JPG and will refuse anything else.
Should I use WebP or JPG for a client?
Send JPG unless you know the other side accepts WebP. WebP is for pages you control, where the saving in bytes is the whole point.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Decoding runs inside your browser using WebAssembly. The files are read from disk into memory and never sent over the network, which also means conversion speed depends on your own device.

A free browser-based HEIC to WebP converter. Smaller files for the web, no camera metadata carried over, nothing uploaded.
WebP is the delivery format. Where PNG is chosen for fidelity and JPG for compatibility, WebP is chosen because the image is going on a page and its size is part of how that page performs. For most photographs it lands below a JPG of similar visual quality, and the quality slider lets you decide where on that curve to sit. The output carries no EXIF block, so the shot date, camera settings and GPS position are not written into it — the right default when the picture is about to become publicly reachable. The friction is outside the browser: print services, client handoffs and some older desktop software still expect a JPG. A Max size setting caps the longest side so the files suit a web page. Conversion runs entirely in the browser using WebAssembly, so the files never leave your device.
