The JPG to WebP converter turns JPG photos into WebP. WebP was developed for websites and usually gives a smaller file than JPG at a similar visual quality. It is used by people speeding up their site, preparing blog or shop images, or trying to save storage space.
The conversion happens in your browser and the pictures never leave your device. Several files can be added at once.
How to use
- Drop the JPG files on the page or pick them with the Choose images button. Up to 50 files are accepted.
- Output format comes set to WebP. Use the Quality slider to balance file size against image quality.
- Conversion starts right away. Each row shows the size of the new file, so you see how much you saved against the JPG.
- If sizes are still large, lower the Quality, and if the picture degrades, raise it. Compare the result with the sizes in the rows.
- Press Download on a row to take one, or Download all to take everything.
- Use Remove, Add and Clear to manage the list if needed.
When it helps
On a website, page speed depends directly on image size. Converting product photos, blog images or a gallery from JPG to WebP makes pages open faster. That helps both visitors and search engines.
Visitors on mobile data also spend less data on the site. It also suits shrinking a photo archive if your hosting or cloud storage is limited.
Tips
- At a similar visual quality WebP is usually a quarter to a third smaller than JPG, though it varies by photo. Try a quality between 80 and 90.
- Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display WebP. Some older apps and editors cannot open it, so keep the JPG too if you are unsure.
- Re-encoding removes EXIF data and converts colours to sRGB.
- The original JPG files are not touched. The WebP copies download as separate files.
- Do not convert photos meant for printing to WebP, since some print services do not accept the format.
