JPG to WebP

Why WebP

Every modern browser shows WebP, and Google's page-speed tools suggest modern image formats like it. Smaller images make pages load faster, especially on mobile data, and page experience is one of the things Google looks at. WebP can be lossy like JPG or lossless like PNG, so one format covers both photos and graphics.

How to convert

1. Drop JPG or PNG images on the box — several at once is fine.
2. Set a maximum width if the images are larger than your site needs.
3. Keep the quality around 75–80% for photos, then download them one by one or as a ZIP.

Resize too

Set a maximum width like 1600 px for full-width images or 800 px for content images — most sites never need larger. Resizing usually saves more than the format change itself: a 4000 px phone photo shown at 800 px wide carries more than twenty times the pixels anyone sees.

Quality settings

For photos, 75–80% is hard to tell apart from the original on screen. Product photos for an online store can go a little higher, and small thumbnails lower. Check the result at full size on a phone before replacing the images on your site. Converting cannot bring back detail a JPG has already lost, so start from the largest, best-quality original you have.

Transparency

PNG transparency is kept in WebP, so logos and icons convert cleanly and usually end up much smaller than the PNG originals.

Where not to use WebP

WebP is for websites, blogs and online stores. Government and exam portals usually accept only JPG or PDF, print shops prefer JPG or PDF, and some older desktop software can't open WebP at all. For form uploads use Compress image to 50 KB instead, and keep your original JPGs as a master copy.
