How to Convert

  1. 1

    Upload HEIC Files

    Drop your iPhone .heic or .heif files. Batch is supported.

  2. 2

    Choose Quality

    WebP quality 80 looks visually identical to the source HEIC for almost any photo.

  3. 3

    Download WebP Files

    Get web-ready WebP files. They display in 97% of browsers without any plugin.

Tips

  • WebP is the best balance between file size and compatibility for HEIC sources.
  • If you need maximum compatibility (email, Word docs), prefer JPEG instead.
  • The HEIC decoder runs on the main thread, so very large batches may feel slow on older devices.

FAQ

How does WebP compare to HEIC?

WebP files are typically 10-20% larger than HEIC at the same visual quality, but WebP works in nearly every browser.

Will EXIF metadata be preserved?

By default ImageMint strips metadata for privacy. Use the Metadata tool if you need to preserve EXIF.

Should I use WebP or AVIF for HEIC photos?

AVIF compresses about 20% smaller than WebP but encodes more slowly. WebP is the safer default in 2026.
