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.

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.
