JPG to WebP Converter

Shrink JPG and JPEG photos into WebP files that look the same and load faster - for the very smallest files try JPG to AVIF.

How to convert JPG to WEBP

  1. Add your JPG files. Drop up to 50 JPG, JPEG or JFIF photos into the box, or browse for them. They never leave your device.
  2. Set the WebP quality. Quality 82 looks like the original JPG and is about a third smaller. The size shown is measured from the real file.
  3. Adjust if you like. Resize, keep EXIF, or rename the files. Every option starts closed and shows its value.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to WebP. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

Using WebP on a website? Keep the JPG as a fallback in a picture element for very old browsers.

Why convert JPG to WebP?

WebP stores the same photo in fewer bytes.

At the same visible quality a WebP is usually 25-35% smaller than a JPG, so pages load faster and score better in Google PageSpeed.

Every modern browser, WordPress, Shopify and most apps open it.

Tips

  • Quality 75-85 is the sweet spot - going above 90 often makes the WebP bigger than the JPG.
  • Do not use Lossless for photos - a lossless copy of a JPG is usually bigger, not smaller.
  • Safari cannot write WebP - use Chrome, Edge or Firefox for this page.
  • Smaller still? JPG to AVIF saves around 50%.
