Best practices for better results

Image optimization works best when you choose the right balance between file size, visual quality, dimensions, format compatibility and privacy. These tips help you get a cleaner result.

  • Quality 85 is the practical sweet spot for web photos; go lower only when size is critical.
  • Convert straight from HEIC to WebP to skip an extra re-encode through JPG.
  • Keep a JPG copy only when something outside the web, like a printer, needs the photo.
  • Check hero images with the LCP optimizer after converting them.

HEIC to WebP for photos headed to the web

HEIC to WebP is the conversion for bloggers, store owners and anyone publishing iPhone photos online. WebP is the format browsers love: typically 25 to 35 percent smaller than an equivalent JPG, with the same visual quality, which means faster pages and better Core Web Vitals scores without touching anything else on your site.

The conversion runs locally in your browser with a quality slider, so you can balance size against fidelity per batch.

HOW TO CONVERT HEIC TO WEBP

  • Drop your HEIC photos onto the upload area
  • Set the WebP quality: 85 is the sweet spot for most photos
  • Click Convert to WebP and watch each photo process locally
  • Check the size savings on every row, then download individually or all at once

Where WebP fits in your publishing workflow

Convert straight from HEIC to WebP and you skip the usual two-step dance through JPG, avoiding one generation of quality loss along the way. For hero images, run the result through the LCP Image Optimizer to confirm it is sized correctly for your layout. And keep a JPG copy only when something outside the browser, like a print shop or older app, needs the photo too.

HEIC to WebP FAQ

What quality setting should I use for WebP?

Quality 80 to 90 is the practical range for web photos: visually identical to the original at a fraction of the size. The default of 85 suits most photos.

Do all browsers support WebP?

Every modern browser renders WebP, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. The gaps are outside the browser: some older desktop apps, printers and upload forms still want JPG or PNG.

Does WebP keep transparency?

Yes, WebP supports full alpha transparency. Regular iPhone camera photos are opaque, so for typical photos the question rarely comes up, but any alpha in the source is preserved.

Should I use WebP or JPG for my website?

WebP, almost always. At the same visual quality it is typically 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG, which translates directly into faster pages and better Core Web Vitals.
