JPG to WebP Converter

How to convert JPG to WebP

1. Drop your JPG on the box above, or click to choose it.
2. Set the quality with the slider.
3. See how much smaller the WebP is.
4. Press Download to save the WebP.

Why use WebP

WebP is a modern image format built for the web. At the same quality it usually makes files about a quarter to a third smaller than JPG. Smaller images make web pages load faster, which is why website owners and app makers like WebP. If you run a site or blog, switching photos to WebP is one of the easiest speed wins.

The trade-off

Not everything opens WebP. Modern browsers and phones handle it well, but a few older apps, some email clients, and certain upload forms still expect JPG. So use WebP where you control the software, such as your own website, and keep a JPG for places that need wide support.

Quality and size

The slider sets the quality. Because WebP is efficient, you can often lower it a step below what you would use for JPG and still get a clean image at a smaller size. Try the default first, then nudge the slider down while watching the preview.
