Convert JPG to WebP

WebP images are often noticeably smaller than JPGs at a similar visual quality, which helps web pages load faster. Convert a JPG photo to WebP and see exactly how the file size changes.

How to use the jpg to webp converter

  1. 1

    Select or drop a JPG or JPEG image.

  2. 2

    Adjust the WebP quality if you like (80% suits most photos).

  3. 3

    Select “Convert to WebP” and compare the sizes.

  4. 4

    Download your .webp file.

Is WebP the right format for you?

All current major browsers display WebP, so it is a good choice for websites and blogs. Some older software, printers and upload forms still only accept JPG, so keep the original if you are unsure.

A real conversion, not a renamed file

Your photo is decoded and encoded again as WebP. In browsers without a built-in WebP encoder, such as Safari, a WebP encoder that runs inside the page is loaded from this website the first time you convert. Your image still never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my WebP file larger than the JPG?

If the JPG was already heavily compressed, re-encoding at a high WebP quality can produce a larger file. Lower the quality slider and convert again; the result always shows the real size difference.

Does WebP support transparency?

Yes, but JPG images have no transparent areas, so there is nothing to preserve when converting from JPG. To convert a transparent PNG, use the image compressor with WebP output.

Can I convert WebP back to JPG?

Yes. Open the image compressor, select your WebP file and choose JPG as the output format.

Is photo metadata kept?

No. The WebP file is newly encoded and does not include EXIF details such as camera model or GPS location.
