About JPG to WebP

Converting JPG to WebP

WebP is the modern image format developed by Google. It produces files 25-35% smaller than JPG at equivalent visual quality, plus it supports transparency (which JPG doesn't) and animation (which JPG doesn't). Every major browser has supported WebP since 2020.

Our JPG to WebP converter re-encodes JPG images as WebP using your browser's Canvas API. Files never leave your device, and conversion takes a fraction of a second per image.

Why WebP wins for the web

  • 25-35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality — directly faster page loads
  • Supports transparency — replaces PNG for graphics with alpha channels
  • Supports animation — replaces GIF with 60-80% smaller files
  • Universally supported — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge all support it

For a website with 50 product images, switching from JPG to WebP can cut total page weight by 1-3 MB — directly improving Core Web Vitals and SEO rankings.

Quality settings

The tool accepts quality 1-100 (default 85). For most photographs:

  • 80-85: visually identical to the JPG, 25-30% smaller
  • 70-75: minor artifacts in detailed areas, 35-40% smaller
  • 60-65: visible artifacts, 45-50% smaller — use for thumbnails

When not to use WebP

  • Email signatures — Outlook desktop doesn't support WebP
  • Older embedded systems — industrial displays, kiosks
  • Print workflows — WebP is optimized for screen, not print

For the reverse conversion, see WebP to PNG. To compress JPGs without converting, use Compress Image.
