Why Websites and Apps Use WebP?

WebP is Google's image format created specifically for the internet. It perfectly solves the dilemma of "quality" vs "speed" that couldn't be achieved simultaneously.

30% Smaller File Size, Same Quality

Compared to JPG of the same quality, WebP files are on average 25-35% smaller. This means your website loads faster, user bounce rate is lower, and server bandwidth costs are reduced.

SEO Ranking Improvement

Google search engines prioritize websites using WebP. Better LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) metrics directly improve search rankings.

Perfect Transparent Background Support

JPG doesn't support transparency, PNG is often too large. WebP is the only modern format that supports alpha transparency channels with extremely small file sizes, making it the best choice for logos and icons.

Privacy Security & Batch Conversion

Like our other tools, all processing happens locally. Support one-click conversion of entire album HEIC photos to WebP with packaged download.

What is WebP Format? Why is it the Trend?

WebP Technology Principle

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google, designed to provide superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the Web. With WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images, making the web faster. WebP lossless images are 26% smaller than PNG. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than JPEG images of comparable SSIM quality index.

Why Convert HEIC to WebP?

  • Website Performance Optimization (SEO): Search engines (like Google) consider page loading speed as a ranking factor. Using WebP can significantly reduce LCP time.
  • Save Bandwidth Costs: For high-traffic websites or applications, reducing image size by 30% means saving huge CDN traffic costs.
  • Mobile Experience: On 4G/5G networks, smaller images mean faster opening speeds and less user data consumption.

Compatibility Note

A few years ago, WebP compatibility was still an issue, but now all major modern browsers including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari (iOS 14+) have perfectly supported WebP. Now is the best time to fully embrace WebP.
