About this tool

WebP typically produces a smaller file than JPG at similar visual quality, which is why it has become a common choice for websites and product galleries. Because JPG is already lossy, converting to WebP means re-encoding one lossy format into another — the goal is a lighter payload rather than better fidelity. Use this when you need faster page loads, cheaper storage, or a single modern asset to serve from a CDN. Every step runs inside your browser, so the JPG you pick is never sent to a server. It handles one file per run, up to roughly 25MB.

FAQ

More about this tool

How it works

  1. Choose a JPG from your device or drag it into the upload area.
  2. The browser decodes the JPG and encodes the pixels as a WebP image.
  3. Download the WebP file when it appears in the results panel.

Features

  • Aim for weight, not quality — Expect a smaller file at comparable perceived quality, not a sharper image.
  • Good for web delivery — WebP is widely supported by modern browsers and works well for hero images and thumbnails.
  • Transparency stays absent — JPG has no alpha channel, so the WebP output is fully opaque.
  • One-and-done — Encoding uses lossy WebP by default, which is what makes the size savings possible.
  • On-device conversion — The file is processed locally, never uploaded.

Supported formats

Input: JPG. Output: WebP.

Common uses

  • Optimising website images — Replace heavy hero JPGs with lighter WebP versions to cut page weight.
  • Preparing gallery assets — Product and portfolio photos often shrink noticeably when moved to WebP.
  • Saving on storage — Batch-convert JPG exports to reclaim disk space in an image library.

Limitations

  • Very old browsers may not display WebP.
  • Because JPG is already lossy, converting adds a second encode pass.
  • Maximum file size is around 25MB, one image per conversion.
  • Output remains fully opaque; no transparency is introduced.
