When to choose WebP over JPG or PNG
Pick WebP when your goal is smaller files and faster loading on the web: it combines JPG-style compression with PNG-style transparency in one format. For photos you'll publish online, HEIC to WebP typically cuts file size by 25–35% versus JPG.
Stick with JPG when you need the broadest possible compatibility with old software, or PNG when you need guaranteed lossless quality. For everything web-facing, WebP is usually the smartest choice — and this free converter lets you compare all three from the same HEIC file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this HEIC converter safe to use?
Yes, absolutely. All file conversion happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to any server — your photos remain 100% private on your device.
What is a HEIC file?
HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) is the default photo format on Apple iPhones and iPads since iOS 11. It stores photos at roughly half the size of JPEG at the same quality, but many devices and apps can't open it — which is why converting to JPG or PNG is so useful.
How do I open HEIC files on Windows or Android?
Windows and most Android devices can't open HEIC files natively. The fastest fix is to convert the HEIC file to JPG right here — no software to install. On Windows 10/11 you can alternatively install the HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store.
Why are my iPhone photos saved as HEIC?
Since iOS 11, iPhones save photos as HEIC by default to save storage space. If you prefer JPEG, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and choose 'Most Compatible' — or simply convert your existing HEIC photos here whenever you need them.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no strict file size limit since all processing happens in your browser. Very large files (over 50MB) may just take a little longer to convert depending on your device.
Do I need to create an account?
No. OpenMyHEIC is completely free with no registration, no account, and no limit on the number of conversions.
