Compress WebP

Make WebP images smaller for a faster website, by quality or to an exact size like 100 KB. Transparency stays and nothing is uploaded - still on JPG? JPG to WebP converts first.

How to Compress a WebP Image

  1. Add your WebP files. Drop one or up to 50 WebP images into the box, browse for them, or paste with Ctrl+V.
  2. Pick the quality or a size. Keep Balanced (quality 80), or open Target file size and pick 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB.
  3. Compare. Click a file and drag across the before and after view. Every size shown is the real file size.
  4. Download. Save files one by one, or press Download - three or more files come as one ZIP.

How Much Can a WebP Shrink?

It depends on how the file was made. Lossless WebP and WebP saved at quality 90-100 shrink a lot: our 629 KB lossless sticker sample becomes a fraction of that at quality 80.

A WebP that was already saved at a low quality has little left to give. In that case the tool keeps your original instead of making it bigger, and only drops hidden EXIF and XMP data.

WebP for Faster Websites

Resize first

A 4000 px image shown 1200 px wide wastes bytes. The Web 1920 px preset fixes that in the same step.

Set a budget

Many teams aim for under 200 KB per hero image and under 100 KB for content images.

Keep transparency

WebP stores alpha, so stickers and logos keep their see-through edges - no PNG needed.

Want even smaller files for modern browsers? Try WebP to AVIF. Need a format that opens everywhere? WebP to JPG or WebP to PNG.

Other Compressors

Each format has its own tricks, so each has its own tool: Compress JPG for photos, Compress PNG for screenshots and logos, Compress AVIF for the newest web format and Compress HEIC for iPhone photos.
