HEIC and WebP: two efficient formats that don't talk to each other

HEIC is efficient on the iPhone, but almost no website accepts it as an image — browsers don't render it the way they render a JPG or a WebP. WebP, on the other hand, is the format Google recommends for the web: it compresses well and every modern browser supports it.

Converting straight from HEIC to WebP skips a step: instead of going to JPG first (heavier) and then to WebP, SMALLIMG decodes the HEIC and encodes it to WebP in a single pass, right in your browser.

When WebP makes more sense than JPG

If the photo is headed for a website, an online store, or a blog, WebP almost always weighs less than a JPG at equivalent visual quality — it loads faster. If instead you need the photo for printing or for an editor that doesn't support WebP, convert it to JPG instead.

You can adjust quality and, if the photo needs it, a maximum width — handy so you don't upload a 4000px photo when the page only ever shows it at 1200px.

Frequently asked questions

Is WebP better than JPG for iPhone photos?

For web use, yes — it usually weighs less at similar quality. For printing or older software, JPG is still more compatible.

Does it keep GPS location and other metadata?

No — re-encoding the image automatically strips EXIF metadata (including location), just like any other conversion in SMALLIMG. It's a useful side effect for privacy.

Can I convert several photos at once?

Yes, add a batch and download everything as a ZIP with "Download all."
