    How to convert JPG to WebP

    1. Drop your .jpg or .jpeg files onto the drop zone, or click to browse.
    2. Pick a quality level — 0.8 to 0.85 is a sweet spot for web photos.
    3. Click Convert to WebP and let the canvas re-encode each image.
    4. Download a single WebP, or a zip when you convert several.

    Why convert JPG to WebP?

    If you run a website or care about page speed, converting JPG to WebP is one of the easiest wins available. At an equivalent visual quality, WebP files are commonly 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG, and sometimes more, thanks to its more advanced compression. Smaller images mean pages that load faster, better Core Web Vitals scores and less data used by visitors on mobile connections. Since practically every modern browser now supports WebP, you can serve it confidently as your primary photo format. There is an honest caveat, though: your JPG has already been through lossy compression once, and encoding to WebP applies a second lossy pass. To avoid stacking visible artefacts, keep the quality slider reasonably high — dropping it too low can make skies band or fine detail smear, because you are compressing an already-compressed image. For most photos a setting in the mid-to-high range looks clean while still delivering a real size reduction. This conversion happens entirely on the HTML canvas in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded, and there is no account, watermark or progress bar to wait through. Drop a whole folder and download the batch as a single zip.

    FAQ

    How much smaller is WebP than JPG?

    Typically 25 to 35 percent smaller at the same visual quality, and occasionally more. The exact saving depends on the photo and the quality setting you choose.

    Does re-encoding a JPG hurt quality?

    It can, because the JPG was already compressed once and WebP adds a second lossy pass. Keeping quality in the mid-to-high range keeps this practically invisible.

    Do all browsers support WebP?

    Every current major browser supports WebP. A few older desktop programs still do not, in which case JPG or PNG is a safer choice.

    Are my JPGs uploaded?

    No. Everything runs in your browser using the canvas API. Your files never leave your device.
