WebP, JPG or PNG?
WebP for anything going on a website. It typically lands 25–35% below an equivalent JPEG, supports transparency, and every browser that matters has read it for years. Smaller images mean faster Largest Contentful Paint, which is the part of Core Web Vitals most sites fail on.
JPG for anything leaving the browser: email attachments, print shops, older desktop software and application portals. WebP support outside browsers is still uneven, and a file the recipient cannot open is worse than a larger one they can. Our HEIC to JPG converter covers that case.
PNG for screenshots, logos and anything you will edit again, where lossless matters more than file size. The HEIC to PNG converter is the tool for that.
Whichever you pick, the conversion itself is the same: your HEIC is decoded to raw pixels in a background thread on your own machine, then re-encoded in the format you chose. Nothing is uploaded, and pixel dimensions never change.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller is WebP than JPEG?
Typically 25–35% at visually equivalent quality, though it varies with the image: photographs with smooth gradients gain most, noisy or highly detailed shots gain least. Convert a few of your own and compare the file sizes shown on each card — that is a better guide than any headline figure.
Is WebP supported everywhere?
In browsers, effectively yes. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari have all supported WebP for years, which covers the visitors your site actually serves.
Outside browsers it is patchier. Some desktop software, print workflows and email clients — Outlook on Windows in particular — still do not render WebP reliably. For attachments, printing and application forms, convert to JPG instead.
Does WebP keep transparency?
Yes, when the source has it. WebP supports an alpha channel and this converter carries it through, which is one advantage it holds over JPEG. It cannot create transparency in a photo that never had any.
Is WebP lossy or lossless?
This converter produces lossy WebP at the quality you set with the slider, which is what makes the file size saving possible. At 82% the difference from the original is not visible at normal viewing sizes. If you need pixel-exact output, use PNG instead.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The decoder is a WebAssembly module that runs inside your browser tab, so photos are read from your device into memory and converted there. Check it in your browser's Network tab, or disconnect from the internet after the page loads and convert anyway.
