Convert JPG to WebP

Why convert JPG to WebP?

WebP compresses photos better than JPG, so you get a similar-looking image in a smaller file. On a website every kilobyte saved helps pages load faster, especially on phones. Page speed tools such as Lighthouse suggest serving images in WebP or AVIF for this reason.

How to convert JPG to WebP

Drop the .jpg files above and press Convert all. Each photo is decoded by your browser and saved with its WebP encoder at quality 85. Photos come out upright, because the browser applies the camera's rotation tag before encoding. You can convert a whole set of product or blog images in one go and download them as a ZIP.

Quality notes

The JPG is already lossy, and this saves it again. Quality 85 avoids stacking visible artifacts. Google's own tests found WebP files 25 to 34 percent smaller than JPGs of equal quality, though your savings depend on how the JPG was saved. EXIF data such as camera model and location is not written into the WebP.

When to keep JPG

Use WebP for images you put on the web. For email attachments, print orders or older software that can't read WebP, keep JPG.

Before you start

Input: JPG and JPEG. Output: WebP. The settings appear before anything runs, so you can check them first. Your original file is never changed.

A format change can affect compression, transparency, color and metadata. Zoom in on fine detail and transparent areas in the result. Work on a copy if the photo is one you want to keep.

Keep the original until you have opened and checked the result. The work happens in this browser tab, so the size you can handle depends on your device's memory, your browser and the file itself.

Steps to convert JPG to WebP

1. Drop your .jpg files into the box above, or browse to select them.
2. Press Convert all. Encoding runs in your browser.
3. Compare the file sizes to see how much you saved.
4. Download each WebP, or all of them as a ZIP.
