JPG to WebP
Turn JPG photos into smaller WebP files for faster websites.
Loading tool…
WebP is the format modern websites use because it delivers the same visual quality as JPG in a noticeably smaller file. Smaller images mean pages load faster, which visitors notice and search engines reward. This converter turns your JPG into WebP with a quality slider so you control the balance, and every current browser supports the result. The conversion runs on a canvas in your browser, so your images are never uploaded.
Why sites are moving to WebP
WebP typically produces files 25 to 35 percent smaller than a JPG at the same visible quality. On a page carrying a dozen photographs that is the difference between a site that feels instant and one that does not, particularly on a mobile connection. Because page speed is a ranking factor and images are usually the heaviest thing on a page, converting them is one of the cheapest performance improvements available.
Support is no longer the concern it was
The usual objection to WebP was compatibility, and that argument has largely expired. Every current browser supports it, including Safari. The remaining gaps are outside the browser: some older desktop photo viewers, certain office applications, and a few upload forms that still expect JPG. So WebP is the right choice for images you are publishing, and JPG remains safer for files you are sending to another person.
Practical notes
- Convert from your best original, not from a JPG that has already been compressed hard.
- Around 80 percent quality is the usual sweet spot for photographs.
- WebP supports transparency, so it can replace PNG for graphics as well.
- Keep the JPG version too if anyone might need to download and open the file locally.
