Why convert HEIC to WebP?
HEIC is Apple's High Efficiency format and the iPhone default, storing photos at roughly half the size of JPEG. WebP is a modern Google format offering both lossy and lossless modes, transparency, and files 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG.
WebP supports an alpha channel, so you get a transparency-capable file to layer or edit — though the conversion cannot invent transparency the HEIC never had. WebP is supported across all modern browsers and is one of the best choices for website performance and Core Web Vitals.
Pixohub converts HEIC to WebP entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API and an in-browser HEIC decoder, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many HEIC files into WebP as you like. Reach for WebP whenever you need fast-loading website images that keep transparency and quality.
HEIC vs WebP: what to expect
HEIC is best for space-efficient iPhone and iPad photos, while WebP shines for fast-loading website images that keep transparency and quality. Keep your original HEIC if you may later need the source file, and export a WebP copy for sharing and the web.
