Browsers cannot show HEIC, so iPhone photos headed for a website need converting, and JPG roughly doubles the bytes on the way. WebP is the closer match: modern compression that keeps files near the HEIC's size while rendering in every current browser. For product shots, blog images and galleries straight from a phone, it is the sensible default. The conversion runs locally at quality 82, with resizing available under More options.
Questions
Why WebP instead of JPG for the web?
Smaller files at the same visible quality, which means faster pages. JPG's only advantage is compatibility with very old software, which browsers stopped being years ago.
Should I resize before publishing?
Usually yes: a 4000-pixel photo shown 800 pixels wide wastes bandwidth. Set the longest side under More options to match how it will display.
Is anything uploaded during conversion?
No. The photo is decoded and re-encoded in your browser.
