How to use it

  1. 1Drop a JPG onto the upload area. The tool first runs a real encode test to confirm your browser can write WEBP — no user-agent guessing.
  2. 2Choose a quality value. 80 is the sweet spot for web photos; 90+ for hero images you'll display large.
  3. 3Convert. The output is verified to be a genuine WEBP blob, so a browser that silently falls back to another format is reported as an error instead of handing you a renamed file.
  4. 4Read the saving percentage — it's calculated from actual bytes — and download.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller is WEBP than JPG?

At matched visual quality, typically 25–35% for ordinary photographs. Images with smooth gradients save the most. A heavily compressed JPG may convert to a larger WEBP, in which case keeping the JPG is the right call.

Can everyone open a WEBP file?

Every current browser displays WEBP, and most modern apps accept it. Some older desktop editors and print workflows still don't — keep a JPG copy if the file is going to a client or a printer.

Is WEBP lossy like JPG?

In this tool, yes: it uses lossy WEBP with your chosen quality. That means the same rule applies — convert once from your best source rather than re-encoding an export of an export.

Does converting keep my EXIF data?

No. Canvas-based conversion produces clean image data with no metadata attached, which is usually what you want for publishing.
