here’s a lightweight Windows command-line method using heif-convert from libheif to bulk convert HEIC to WebP without big software like Photoshop.
heif-convert is a small command-line tool included in the libheif project, which can convert HEIC/HEIF images to other formats like JPEG, PNG, or WebP. It’s fast, lightweight, and doesn’t require a full image editor.
Download the latest Windows ZIP package. Extract the ZIP to a folder, e.g., C:\libheif. Inside, you'll find heif-convert.exe, the heic to webp conversion tool.
Convert a single HEIC to WebP:
heif-convert input.heic output.webp
Bulk convert all HEIC files in a folder:
for %f in (*.heic) do heif-convert "%f" "%~nf.webp"
You can also make a ready-to-run Windows .bat script that you just double-click to convert all HEIC files in a folder to WebP with your chosen quality.
