Engineering Philosophy

Optimizing for
The Modern Web.

WebP is the future of web imagery, offering superior compression and quality compared to legacy formats. However, HEIC (Apple's format) and WebP (Google's format) speak different languages.

We built a bridge directly between them. Instead of converting to an intermediate format like JPG first, our backend transcodes HEIC directly to WebP. This direct pipeline ensures that transparency is preserved and color profiles are accurately translated without generational loss.

Following our "Secure & Purge" protocol, your data is handled in volatile memory. We don't just delete files; we ensure they never touch a permanent storage disk during processing.

HEIC vs. WebP: The Future of Images

**HEIC** is fantastic for storage on your iPhone, but it's a nightmare for the web. Most browsers still don't display it natively. **WebP**, on the other hand, was built by Google specifically for the internet.

WebP offers **better compression** than both JPG and PNG. This means your images look the same but download much faster, saving data for your visitors and boosting your site's SEO ranking.

By converting HEIC to WebP, you unlock the ability to share your high-quality mobile photos on any platform without worrying about compatibility or slow loading times.
