HEIC to WebP
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
The conversion of HEIC to WebP combines the efficiency of iPhone photos with web-friendly image formats. WebP supports lossless and lossless compression, transparency, and animation, so the results can be much smaller than PNG. Modern browsers are familiar with WebP, but some desktop applications are not yet. Provide JPG or PNG fallback when images are also used outside the browser.
Key points
- WebP is designed for the web and is usually smaller than PNG or JPG
- WebP supports alpha and animation, depending on the tool used
- Modern browsers support WebP, but the old desktop applications are not necessarily
- Use a fallback picture for visitors with old devices
- Increase quality or use lossless when grading looks sharp
