About HEIC and WebP conversion

HEIC is efficient for camera storage, while WebP is commonly used for web delivery. This pair is useful when photos from an iPhone need to become web-ready assets without first making a JPG or PNG intermediate file.

The existing HEIC decoder reads the image locally, draws the decoded pixels to an OffscreenCanvas, and asks the browser to encode WebP at the converter's fixed quality setting. No remote optimization service or upload endpoint is involved.

WebP export support is browser-dependent. If the canvas encoder cannot create a real WebP blob, the converter stops with the same WebP support warning used by the other WebP targets instead of returning a mislabeled file.

FAQ

Why convert HEIC to WebP?

Use it when iPhone photos are headed to a website, CMS, or app pipeline that accepts WebP as a compact delivery format.

Does HEIC to WebP upload my photo?

No. HEIC decoding and WebP encoding run in the browser worker, and the result is downloaded from a local blob URL.

Why can WebP export fail in some browsers?

The converter relies on the browser's canvas encoder, and some browsers cannot create WebP files even if they can display them.

Is WebP the best target for every HEIC photo?

Not always. WebP is good for web delivery, while JPG is usually better for maximum compatibility with older apps and printers.
