WebP is the format to reach for when an iPhone photo is heading onto a website. Browsers all read it, it compresses photographs almost as tightly as HEIC does, and converting HEIC to WebP avoids the size jump you get from falling back to JPEG.
Broadly, a WebP lands a quarter to a third lighter than the same photo saved as JPEG at similar quality. Against the HEIC it usually grows a little, since HEIC remains the more efficient of the two, but the gap is small enough to ignore once the picture is on a page.
Browsers are a solved problem. Everything else is patchy. A good number of desktop photo viewers, older office software and plenty of print shops still shrug at a .webp. If the picture is being emailed or printed rather than published, JPEG is the safer target.
A recent phone shoots something like 4000 pixels across, and a web page rarely needs more than 1600. Converting the format does not change that, so the WebP comes out at the same enormous dimensions the HEIC had. Resizing is a separate step and it saves far more weight than any format choice will.
Lighter than a JPEG copy
The same photograph in WebP typically comes out around a third smaller.
Ready to publish
Every current browser displays WebP without a fallback image.
See through areas kept
WebP holds any transparency the source photo happens to have.
HEIC to GIF Converter
Turn an iPhone HEIC photo into a single still GIF image for systems that require one.
HEIC to AVIF Converter
Turn iPhone HEIC photos into AVIF files that display on a web page instead of breaking.
PNG to JPE Converter
Save PNG images as .jpe files, the short JPEG extension a few older programs insist on.
PNG to JIF Converter
Turn PNG images into .jif files for the software that still lists that spelling.
Lossy, which is what you want for a photograph. It is the reason the files stay small enough to be worth publishing.
No, they read them normally, and the faster page a lighter image gives you counts in your favour rather than against it.
Anything from the last several years is fine. If you genuinely need to cover older software, keep a JPEG version alongside and let the page pick.
HEIC is not offered as a target here. Keep the original photos if you might need them in that format again.
