About converting JPG to WebP

This tool re-encodes JPG photographs as WebP. Both formats are lossy, but WebP's compression is more efficient, so the same picture at the same apparent quality comes out meaningfully smaller — commonly around a quarter to a third off for a photograph, and more when the image has large flat areas.

Nothing is uploaded. Each file is decoded, re-encoded and handed back by your own browser, which is why there is no queue to wait in and no account to make.

When this is the right tool

  • You are publishing photographs to a site or app you control and want the page to load faster.
  • Your image budget is blown and the pictures are the largest thing on the page.
  • You want smaller files without dropping to a JPG quality that starts showing artefacts.
  • You are working through the web image checklist and this is the format step.

How to use it

  1. Drop in your JPGs

    Drag a file or a whole selection onto the upload area, or click to browse. A mixed folder is fine — anything that is not a JPG is skipped and listed rather than stopping the run.

  2. Set the quality

    82 is the default and is visually indistinguishable from the source on most photographs. Lower it if size matters more than the last few percent of fidelity.

  3. Add a size limit if you need one

    Optional maximum dimensions are applied before encoding, which is the cheapest way to shrink a file further. Leave both blank to keep the original dimensions.

  4. Convert and download

    Each file reports its before and after size so you can see where the saving came from. One result downloads on its own; several arrive as a ZIP.

Formats and limits

Input
JPG / JPEG only.
Output
WebP, lossy, at the quality you set.
Metadata
Not preserved. Re-encoding through a browser canvas drops EXIF, IPTC and XMP — keep your originals if that information matters. What that involves.
Batch, limits and privacy
Up to 50 files per run at 50MB each, all processed with the same settings and returned as one ZIP. No watermark, no daily cap and no sign-up — and no upload either: every file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser.

Common questions

How much smaller will the WebP be?

For a typical photograph, 25–35% smaller than the JPG at matching visual quality. Images with large flat areas do better still. The exact figure is shown per file once the run finishes.

Will the quality drop?

WebP is lossy like JPG, so the quality slider governs it. At the default of 82 the difference is not visible side by side; below about 60 you start seeing artefacts in skies and gradients.

Does every browser support WebP?

Every current browser does, including Safari since 2020. The one place to be careful is older desktop software and some upload portals, which is what the WebP to JPG converter is for.
