How does the JPG to WebP Converter work?
The JPG to WebP Converter re-encodes JPEG images as WebP, the image format Google designed for the web. The conversion runs in your browser at 92% quality, and the image is never uploaded.
How to convert JPG to WebP
- Drop a .jpg or .jpeg file into the upload area, or click to choose one.
- Click Convert.
- Download the WebP file.
Why use WebP on a website?
Google's own comparison found lossy WebP files are about 25–34% smaller than JPEGs of similar visual quality. Smaller images download faster, which helps page speed metrics such as Largest Contentful Paint, especially on mobile connections.
Things to know before converting
- Savings vary: A JPG that is already heavily compressed may not shrink much, and re-encoding a lossy image always loses a little detail. Start from the highest-quality original you have.
- Keep a fallback if needed: All current major browsers display WebP, but some older desktop software, email clients, and print services still expect JPG.
- Browser encoding support: If your browser cannot encode WebP, it returns a PNG instead. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all encode WebP.
Frequently Asked Questions
