HEIC to WebP — Convert in Your Browser

Why convert HEIC to WebP?

This is the conversion for anyone publishing iPhone photos online. HEIC gives you a small, high-quality original but browsers won't render it reliably; WebP keeps almost all of that efficiency and every browser displays it natively.

HEIC is what your iPhone saves photos as by default since iOS 11. It holds roughly the same picture as a JPG in half the space, but outside the Apple ecosystem support is still patchy.

When HEIC → WebP is the right move

Publishing phone photography to a website, blog or shop listing.
Building an image library that stays small without an unusable format.
Sharing photos with people on Android and Windows.

Quality, size and what changes

WebP lands close to HEIC on size while being universally displayable — usually far smaller than the equivalent JPG. Both are lossy, so convert from the phone original rather than from an already re-saved copy.

What you gain with WebP: Noticeably smaller pages, transparency and animation in one format, supported by every current browser.

How it works

Drop your HEIC file above and Morphio decodes it locally, then re-encodes it as WebP using WebAssembly + the browser's native codecs. Nothing is ever uploaded — your files stay on your device. Batch as many files as your machine can handle. See exactly how in-browser conversion works.

HEIC to WebP — frequently asked questions

How do I convert HEIC to WebP without uploading the file?

Open the HEIC to WebP page, drop your image on the drop zone and press convert. Morphio runs an in-browser image pipeline built on Canvas and WebAssembly codecs, so the HEIC data never leaves your device and no server ever receives a copy.

Does converting HEIC to WebP lose quality?

Colour profile and pixel dimensions are preserved; you choose the quality level before the file is written. Converting HEIC to WebP only rewrites the container and encoding you asked for — the source file on your disk is never modified.

Is the HEIC to WebP converter free, and how big can the file be?

Yes. The free plan covers 10 conversions a day with files up to 200 MB and adds no watermark or sign-up. Morphio Pro ($5/month, or $29 once for lifetime access) removes the daily cap and raises the per-file limit to 5 GB.

Is WebP smaller than HEIC?

They are broadly comparable; HEIC often edges ahead slightly, but WebP wins outright once you count the pages and browsers that can actually display it.

Are photo details or metadata lost?

The image itself is re-encoded at high quality. Apple-specific extras such as depth maps and Live Photo motion do not carry over to a still WebP.
