Why use WebP?

WebP was designed for the web and usually beats both JPG and PNG: it produces files roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG at similar quality, and unlike JPG it supports transparency like PNG. Smaller images mean faster pages, better Core Web Vitals and less bandwidth. Every current browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari — can display WebP.

How to convert to WebP

1. Click Open the converter above (WebP is pre-selected). 2. Drop your JPG or PNG files. 3. Adjust quality or set a target file size if you like. 4. Download the WebP files individually, all together, or as a ZIP. Your images are processed locally and never uploaded.

Lossy or lossless?

This converter produces lossy WebP, which is ideal for photos and most web images. The quality slider lets you balance size against fidelity — around 80% is a great default that keeps images looking crisp while staying small.

Why WebP is worth using

WebP is a modern image format supported by every current browser. It typically produces files 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, and it supports transparency like PNG. That makes it an excellent default for websites, where smaller images mean faster pages and better Core Web Vitals.

Converting your JPG or PNG images to WebP is a quick way to cut page weight without changing how they look. For very old browsers that cannot open WebP, keep a JPG or PNG copy as a fallback; for everyday web use, WebP is the smarter choice.
