Frequently asked questions
How do I convert HEIC to WEBP?
Add your HEIC files above, make sure WEBP is selected and press Convert. The WEBP files are ready to download a few seconds later — no installation or account required.
Will converting HEIC to WEBP reduce quality?
WEBP uses lossy compression, but at the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. Raise the quality slider to 100% for maximum fidelity or lower it for smaller files.
Is there a file size or daily limit?
No. Since everything runs locally, there are no daily caps, queues or file size limits beyond what your device can handle.
Are my HEIC files uploaded to a server?
No. ConvertMathly converts files entirely inside your web browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your computer or phone, which makes it safe for private photos and documents.
Can I convert multiple HEIC files at once?
Yes — add as many files as you like. They are converted one after another and you can download everything in a single ZIP.
