Mastering HEIF / HEIC to WebP Conversion

Practical architectural advice for web performance, cross-platform compatibility, and asset workflows.
01

Publish iPhone photography directly to the web

Content creators, photographers, and ecommerce merchants frequently shoot product photography and social content on modern iPhones. However, uploading raw HEIF/HEIC files to WordPress, Shopify, or custom websites leads to broken images because standard browsers cannot render HEIF in an <img> tag.

Converting HEIF to WebP instantly bridges this gap. Your photos become web-ready, fast-loading, and compatible with virtually every visitor on mobile or desktop.

02

Optimize web delivery with customizable compression

High-resolution iPhone photos often measure 4032x3024 pixels. Using our integrated workspace controls, you can adjust quality or scale down resolution to create perfectly proportioned web banners that load instantaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about converting HEIF / HEIC images to WebP format.
