Some video services and editing workflows accept WEBM but not HEIF photos. Converting creates a video from the still image; with several photos, the result can be a slideshow.

What the HEIF format is

HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) stores images, commonly using HEVC compression. Files from Apple devices often use the .heic extension; iPhones and iPads commonly save photos this way, and HEIF files can also come from cameras and image software.

What the WEBM format is

WEBM is a video container used for web playback. It commonly carries VP8 or VP9 video, and can also contain AV1 video and Vorbis or Opus audio. It is useful when a website, browser-based workflow, or video editor requires a web-oriented video file.

How to convert HEIF to WEBM

Online on 101convert.com

  1. Upload one or more HEIF pictures to the converter on this page. Batch conversion is supported; observe the per-file size limit shown on the page.
  2. Before converting, set show each picture for to choose how long each image appears in the video.
  3. Convert the files and download the WEBM result.

Offline with desktop software

FFmpeg is free and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Use a build that can decode HEIF/HEIC; support depends on how FFmpeg was compiled. This command makes a five-second WEBM from one picture at 30 frames per second:

ffmpeg -loop 1 -framerate 30 -i photo.heic -t 5 -vf scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -crf 30 -b:v 0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -an output.webm

Replace photo.heic with the input filename and adjust -t 5 for the clip duration. The scale filter makes dimensions even for the selected pixel format; -an leaves out audio.

Quality and limitations

A single HEIF photo becomes a static video, not moving footage; multiple photos become a slideshow. The source image contains no audio, so this conversion does not create a soundtrack. VP9 encoding and the yuv420p pixel format may change image detail or color, and playback support depends on the device or application.
