BriskFile

Convert HEIC to WEBP

Drop your HEIC files below. They are converted on your own device and never sent anywhere.

Convert to WebP when iPhone photos are going onto a website, into a web application, or anywhere the destination is a browser. It is converted by your own browser here, so the file is never uploaded.

Nothing is uploaded. Your files are read by this page and processed by your own processor. Open the Network tab and watch — you will not see them leave.

HEIC and WebP, and why you would move between them

Going from HEIC straight to WebP keeps most of the size advantage that made you turn on High Efficiency mode in the first place, while producing a file that every browser can display. For photos destined for a website or a web app rather than an email, it is a better destination than JPEG.

WebP will usually land somewhere between the HEIC and the JPEG in size — larger than the original, meaningfully smaller than the JPEG equivalent — and it keeps transparency, which matters if the image has been edited since it left the phone.

Things that catch people out

  • WebP is a poor choice for email or printing. If somebody else has to open the file outside a browser, JPEG is the safer destination.
  • As with any HEIC conversion, the orientation flag has to be applied to the pixels or the photo comes out sideways. BriskFile does this before encoding.
  • A Live Photo becomes a single still image. WebP supports animation, but the video half of a Live Photo is HEVC and is not carried across.

Questions

Is WebP smaller than JPEG for iPhone photos?

Yes, typically 25–35% smaller at the same visible quality. It will still be larger than the HEIC original, because HEIC is more efficient than both.

Can I put WebP images straight on my website?

Yes. Every browser in current use supports it, including Safari since version 14. No fallback is needed for browsers, though you may still want JPEG copies for anything that leaves the web.

What BriskFile will not do to you

  • Your files never leave your device

    Every conversion runs in your browser. Open DevTools, watch the Network tab, and you will see no upload — because there is not one.

  • No account, no email, no watermark

    Nothing to sign up for and nothing stamped on your images. There is no step between choosing a file and getting it back.

  • No limits at the download button

    No daily cap, no file counter, no "upgrade to download". If the tool starts a job, it finishes it.

  • Checkable, not just claimed

    Open the Network tab and convert something — nothing goes out. Or load the page, disconnect, and watch it keep working: the tool is already on your machine, and your file never leaves it.
