Overview

``text JPG to WebP converts your JPG (and PNG) images to WebP, a modern format that's typically 25–34% smaller at the same quality — so pages load faster. Set the quality per image, convert up to 10 at once, and download them, all in your browser with nothing uploaded. ``

```text WebP is the format built for fast websites. Developed by Google, it compresses photos and graphics more efficiently than JPG or PNG, usually producing files 25–34% smaller at a comparable quality. Smaller images mean quicker page loads, which visitors notice and search engines reward.

This converter turns your JPGs into WebP right in your browser — nothing is uploaded, so your images stay on your device. Each image gets its own quality slider so you can balance size against sharpness, and a few global settings let you strip metadata or auto-resize large images for the web. ```

Frequently Asked Questions

Is WebP really smaller than JPG?

Yes, usually. WebP uses more efficient compression than JPG, so at a similar visual quality it typically produces files 25–34% smaller. The exact saving depends on the image and the quality setting you choose, but for most photographs the reduction is significant — which is the main reason WebP is the recommended format for images on modern websites.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The converter runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas, so your JPGs are processed on your own device and never sent anywhere. Nothing is stored once you close the tab. That keeps your images private and makes conversion fast, since there's no upload — the speed depends only on your device, not your connection.

What quality setting should I use for WebP?

For most web photos, 75–85 is the sweet spot — large file savings with artefacts that are basically invisible. The slider defaults to 80. Going below 70 makes files much smaller but can introduce blockiness or banding in smooth gradients, which is fine for backgrounds but not for hero images. Above 90, the file grows for little visible gain.

Will converting to WebP lose quality?

WebP at a high quality setting looks essentially identical to the original to the eye. It's a lossy conversion by default, so some data is discarded to save space, but the trade-off is very favourable. If you need to preserve every pixel exactly, WebP also supports a lossless mode, though lossless files are larger and less common for web use.

Do all browsers support WebP?

Yes. Every major modern browser supports WebP, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. That wasn't always true years ago, but today you can serve WebP across the web with confidence. If you need to support a very old browser, keep a JPG fallback — but for current devices and browsers, WebP works everywhere.

How many images can I convert at once?

You can convert up to 10 images in a single batch. Drop them in or select them, set the quality on each card, and convert. Download each WebP individually, or use the "Download All WebP Files" button to save the converted set together. For larger jobs, run a few batches in a row.

Does it keep the photo's EXIF metadata?

By default, no — metadata like camera details and GPS location is stripped, which is usually what you want for web images and privacy. If you need to keep that information, turn on "Preserve EXIF Metadata" in the Global Optimization Settings before converting. The choice is yours, applied to the whole batch.

What does the auto-resize option do?

When you enable "Enable Auto Resizing (Max 1920px)", any image larger than 1920 pixels on its long side is scaled down to that size during conversion. This is handy for the web, where images rarely need to be wider than a full-HD screen. It combines a smaller format with smaller dimensions for the leanest possible web images.

Can I also convert PNG files here?

Yes — this converter accepts both JPG and PNG and outputs WebP. If you're working specifically with PNG files, the dedicated PNG to WebP converter is tuned for that starting point and matches the "png to webp" workflow more closely. Either way, the output is an optimised WebP suitable for the web.

Why does WebP help my website's SEO?

Faster pages rank better and convert better, and image weight is one of the biggest factors in load time. Switching to WebP shrinks your images by roughly a quarter to a third, which improves your Largest Contentful Paint and reduces bandwidth. Those are real signals search engines consider, so WebP is one of the simplest performance wins available.

Does the converter work on a phone?

Yes. It runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, so you can convert JPGs to WebP directly on Android or iOS. Small batches convert quickly; larger or higher-resolution images use more memory and are smoother on a laptop, but everyday conversions work fine on a modern phone.

Do I need to install any software?

No. There's nothing to download or install and no account to create. The converter runs in any modern web browser, on any operating system, so you don't need a desktop image editor or a separate app. Just open the page, add your JPG files, set the quality, and convert.
