How it works

WebP typically produces a noticeably smaller file than JPG at a matching quality, which is why it is worth serving on the web. The quality slider drives WebP’s lossy encoder directly. This is a re-encode, so it cannot undo compression the JPG already baked in — it only stores the current pixels more efficiently. WebP is supported by every current browser but not by some older desktop software, so keep a JPG if you need maximum compatibility.

Convert JPG to WebP in your browser. WebP typically makes a noticeably smaller file than JPG at the same visual quality, which is why it is the go-to format for fast-loading web pages. Your image is converted on your device — nothing is uploaded.

Why convert JPG to WebP?

WebP reaches the same visual quality as JPG in a noticeably smaller file, so converting is one of the easiest ways to speed up a web page or store. Smaller images mean faster loads, less bandwidth, and — because page speed is a ranking factor — a small SEO benefit too. WebP also supports transparency and animation, which JPG cannot.

Is WebP supported everywhere?

Every current major browser supports WebP, so for the web it is a safe default. The only time to keep a JPG copy is when you must support very old software that predates WebP. The conversion runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.

How to convert an image

  1. 1Upload your JPG.
  2. 2Choose a WebP quality level, or keep the balanced default.
  3. 3Check the size saved compared with the JPG.
  4. 4Download the WebP.

When to use JPG to WebP

  • Making a website or store faster with smaller images.
  • Cutting bandwidth and storage without a visible quality drop.
  • Modernising an old library of JPGs for the web.
