How to use JPG to WebP

  1. Drop your JPG image onto the upload area, or click to choose a file.
  2. Adjust the quality setting if needed and check the preview.
  3. Check the file size, then download the WebP file.

Why use JPG to WebP

  • Smaller files that load faster on websites.
  • Good quality for photos.
  • Supported by all modern browsers.

Why use WebP instead of JPG?

Google, who created WebP, reports that lossy WebP images are about 25-34% smaller than comparable JPG images at the same visual quality. Smaller images load faster, which gives visitors a better experience and helps your pages perform well in search.

Before you switch

All current browsers show WebP, but a few older apps and upload forms still only accept JPG. Keep your JPG as a backup, and use WebP to JPG whenever you need to go back.

Creating a WebP file needs a browser that can export WebP. Current Chrome, Edge and Firefox can. If your browser cannot, the tool shows a message instead of a broken file.

Tips for best results

  • Compare the file size shown with your original JPG before you download.
  • Keep your JPG as a backup, since a few older apps cannot open WebP.
  • Resize very large photos first for an even smaller result.
