Smushify

HEIC to WebP Converter

Put iPhone photos straight onto the web as small WebP files. Free and private, in your browser.

Why convert HEIC to WebP?

Browsers other than Safari can't show HEIC images, so iPhone photos can't go on a website as they are. WebP works in every modern browser and is typically much smaller than JPG at the same visual quality.

Converting straight from HEIC to WebP also avoids a detour through JPG, which would compress the photo twice.

How to convert HEIC to WebP

Drop your HEIC photos above. WebP is already selected, at quality 80 and 1280 pixels wide, which suits most web pages. Click Convert All, then Download All for a ZIP of the results.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I open HEIC photos?

iPhones save photos as HEIC to save space, but Windows, Android and many apps and websites can't open it without extra software. Converting to JPG, WebP or PNG makes the photo open anywhere.

Will portrait photos stay the right way up?

Yes. Smushify reads the rotation stored in each HEIC file, so photos taken upright or sideways come out the way you saw them on your phone.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Smushify converts everything inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your files are never sent to a server, so it is safe for private photos, client work and unreleased videos.

Can I convert many files at once?

Yes. Drop in as many files as you like, use "Format for all" and "Quality for all" to set every file in one go, then click Convert All and Download All.
