JPG to WebP

Convert JPG images to WebP for significantly smaller web-ready files.

WebP typically produces files 25–35% smaller than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. Convert your JPGs with adjustable quality and see exactly how much you save.

Your files are processed locally in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers.

About JPG to WebP

WebP was designed by Google specifically for the web, and it does a measurably better job than JPEG at the same perceived quality — typically 25–35% smaller for photographs. It also supports transparency and animation, which JPEG does not.

Browser support is no longer a concern: every current version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge renders WebP, and has done for years. For most websites, serving WebP instead of JPEG is one of the cheapest performance improvements available, and it directly affects Core Web Vitals scores like Largest Contentful Paint.

This converter re-encodes each JPEG as WebP in the browser and reports the saving per file, so you can verify the benefit on your own images rather than trusting a general statistic.

How to convert JPG to WebP

  1. Add your JPG files

    Drag and drop, or tap Select Images. Up to 30 at a time.

  2. Set the quality

    80% is a good default for the web. Raise it for hero images, lower it for thumbnails.

  3. Convert and compare

    Press Convert. Each file shows its original size, new size and percentage saved.

  4. Download

    Save files individually or download the whole batch.

Where WebP helps most

  • Website images — smaller files mean faster pages and better search rankings.
  • Image-heavy pages such as galleries, product grids and blog archives, where savings multiply.
  • Mobile visitors on limited data plans.
  • Anywhere you would otherwise need a transparent PNG of a photograph — WebP does both, at a fraction of PNG's size.

When to stay with JPEG

Some contexts still expect JPEG specifically: older printing workflows, certain camera and scanner software, and a handful of upload forms that validate by extension. If a system rejects your WebP file, convert it back with the WebP to JPG tool.

It is also worth remembering that converting an existing JPEG to WebP re-encodes an already lossy file. The saving is real, but for the very best result, produce WebP from the original uncompressed source when you have one.

Frequently asked questions

Is WebP supported everywhere?

In browsers, effectively yes — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari and all major mobile browsers have supported it for years. Support is patchier outside the browser: some desktop image viewers, older design software and a few upload forms still do not accept it.

How much smaller are WebP files really?

For photographs at matched visual quality, usually 25–35% smaller than JPEG. Graphics with flat colour can do far better. The tool shows the actual figure for each of your files, which is more useful than any average.

Does WebP support transparency?

Yes — WebP has a full alpha channel, unlike JPEG. Converting from JPG will not create transparency, but the resulting WebP is capable of storing it if you add it later.

Should I use WebP or AVIF?

AVIF compresses slightly better still, but encoding is much slower and support in tooling is less complete. WebP remains the pragmatic default for most sites; AVIF is worth the extra effort for very large, image-heavy pages.

Can I convert WebP back to JPG?

Yes, with the WebP to JPG tool. Bear in mind that each lossy round trip degrades the image slightly, so keep your originals.
