JPG to WebP Converter

WebP was designed for the web. Its lossy mode generally reaches the same visual quality as JPG with fewer bytes, it supports transparency, and current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display it. Smaller images mean less data to download, which matters most on mobile connections.

Google's WebP documentation describes its lossy files as typically 25 to 34% smaller than comparable JPGs. Real savings vary from image to image, so compare the before and after sizes the tool shows for your own files.

This converter saves at quality 0.9, which favours appearance. A JPG that was already saved at low quality, or a small, heavily optimised thumbnail, can produce a WebP that is the same size or larger. If that happens, try the Image Compressor with WebP output and a lower quality, or keep the JPG for that file.

• Most site builders and content systems accept WebP uploads today. If yours does not, it will reject the file rather than show it broken.
• If you must support very old browsers, serve WebP with a JPG fallback using the HTML <picture> element.
• Resize before converting: a 4000 px photo in a 800 px column wastes far more bytes than the format choice saves. The Bulk Image Resizer can do both size and format in one pass.

• Quality: WebP is written at quality 0.9 where the format uses a quality setting. There is no slider on converter pages; use the Image Compressor if you want to choose the quality yourself.
• Size limits: images longer than 4096 px on either side are scaled down to 4096 px. If a converted file would be over 10 MB, it is reduced in steps until it fits.
• Batches: add several files; three are converted at a time. One file downloads directly, two or more come as a ZIP.
• Metadata: EXIF data (camera, date, GPS) and colour profiles are not carried into the new file.

The conversion uses your browser's own WebP encoder. If your browser cannot write WebP, the file is marked with an error instead of being saved in the wrong format. Nothing is uploaded.
