HEIC vs WEBP: what changes when you convert
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) was introduced in 2017 by the MPEG group; adopted by Apple in iOS 11 and is best known for iphone camera photos (half the size of jpg at the same quality). WEBP (WebP), created by Google, is the better choice when you need website images — smaller than jpg and png at the same quality.
Why convert? WEBP files are usually larger than HEIC, but you gain website images — smaller than jpg and png at the same quality. HEIC photos from an iPhone routinely fail to open on Windows PCs and Android phones. Converting to WEBP solves that instantly.
Upload one file or a whole batch — conversion happens over a secure HTTPS connection and finished files are automatically deleted from our servers within minutes. Some older apps, email clients, and Windows photo viewers still cannot open WebP files.
