What is a JPG to WebP Converter?
WebP compresses noticeably better than JPG at the same visual quality, which is why it has become the default format for anyone who cares about page speed. Every current browser supports it.
Drop a JPG and download a WebP. The conversion runs on your device.
The saving is real and worth having: on typical photographs WebP lands somewhere between a quarter and a third smaller than the equivalent JPG. On a page carrying a dozen images that is the difference between a fast load and a slow one, and images are almost always the largest thing a page downloads.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller is WebP than JPG?
Usually between a quarter and a third smaller at comparable visual quality, though it depends on the image. Photographs with smooth gradients tend to benefit most.
Do all browsers support WebP?
Yes, every current browser does, including Safari. The usual approach is still a picture element with a JPG fallback if you have visitors on very old software.
Does converting lose quality?
The JPG has already lost some detail, and re-encoding to WebP loses a little more. It is not noticeable at normal quality settings, but converting from the original rather than from an already compressed JPG always gives a better result.
Is the file uploaded?
No. It is converted in your browser and never transmitted.
