JPG to WebP Converter

To convert JPG to WebP, drop the photo in, set the quality, and click Convert to WebP. WebP is usually smaller than JPG, which makes web pages load faster. It runs in your browser, and you see the size before and after.

Why convert JPG to WebP?

Google's own comparisons put lossy WebP roughly 25 to 34 percent smaller than JPG at similar quality. On a page full of photos, that adds up.

Image-heavy pages such as galleries, product lists, and photo blogs.
Visitors on slow mobile data.
Lower bandwidth and hosting costs.

It's not always the right choice. For email attachments, print orders, and older software, JPG is safer, so keep your originals.

How to convert JPG to WebP

Click Select File, or drag a .jpg or .jpeg photo into the drop zone.
Adjust the WebP quality. 85 is the default and suits most photos.
Click Convert to WebP, compare the size and preview, then click Download.

Quality, size, and what to expect

A JPG is already compressed, and converting to lossy WebP compresses it a second time. At 80 to 90, most photos look the same. Move the slider until you find the smallest file that still looks right. Camera details such as location aren't carried over.

An already small or low-quality JPG may not shrink, and the page says when the WebP is bigger. WebP export works in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Safari can't create WebP from a web page, so the tool warns you there.

Have transparency? Use PNG to WebP.
A site rejects WebP? Turn it back with WebP to JPG.
Squeeze more with Image Compressor.

Not sure which format to publish? Compare PNG, JPG, and WebP.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my JPG get as WebP?

Often around a quarter to a third at similar quality, but it depends on the photo. The page shows the exact result.

Will I notice a drop in quality?

At 80 to 90, usually not. The JPG was already compressed once, so compare the preview with the original.

Can I convert with no quality loss at all?

Not really. Both formats are lossy for photos. A setting of 100 keeps the most detail, at a larger file size.

What's the best quality for a website?

Try 80 for large hero photos and 85 to 90 for close-ups with fine detail.

Will WordPress and other platforms accept WebP?

Most current platforms do, but check yours. Keep JPGs for email, print, and older software.

Does the WebP keep camera data such as location?

No. The photo is redrawn, so details like GPS and camera model aren't carried over. Use Remove EXIF Data to check what a photo contains.
