Convert HEIC to WebP
on iPhone, privately.

An iPhone photo saved as HEIC will not display in most browsers or CMS platforms until it is converted. Filemorph turns it into web-ready WebP on your device, no upload needed.

Filemorph converting a HEIC photo to WebP on iPhone

HEIC is efficient for storing photos on your iPhone, but it is not a web format — most browsers cannot display it directly, and uploading an HEIC to a blog, marketplace listing or website builder often fails outright. If you are publishing photos straight from your camera roll, they need to become something the web actually renders.

Filemorph decodes the HEIC with ImageIO and re-encodes it as WebP, which is supported by every modern browser and is typically smaller than the equivalent JPG would be. Orientation and color are preserved, so a portrait photo stays upright.

How to convert HEIC to WebP on iPhone

Free
  1. Add your image. Open Filemorph and pick the HEIC from Photos, Files or the Share sheet.
  2. Choose To WebP. Tap Convert and choose To WebP as the output format.
  3. Save or share. Tap Convert. The WebP is saved locally — share it, save to Files or AirDrop it.

In the app: Convert → To WebP.

Why convert HEIC to WebP?

WebP is a web-native format that every current browser renders directly, and it compresses well for photos. Convert HEIC to WebP whenever a photo from your iPhone needs to go onto a website, in a CMS or into an upload form that does not accept HEIC.

Is it private?

Yes. Unlike web converters that upload your files to a server, Filemorph converts every file locally using Apple's frameworks. Nothing leaves your device, and it works with no internet connection. This conversion is in the free tier.

FAQ

HEIC → WebP — common questions.

Why doesn't my iPhone photo show up on my website? +

Most browsers do not render HEIC directly. Converting to WebP (or JPG) fixes that.

Is HEIC to WebP free? +

Yes, it is part of Filemorph's free tier.

Does the photo lose quality? +

There is a small amount of recompression since both formats are lossy, but at Filemorph's default settings it is not visible at normal viewing sizes.
