About this tool

This tool converts JPG images to WEBP directly in your browser. The file is decoded onto an HTML canvas and re-encoded as WEBP, so it never touches a server and the conversion finishes in milliseconds.

WebP produces significantly smaller files than JPG or PNG at the same visual quality, which improves page-load performance and Core Web Vitals.

JPG vs WEBP: what changes

What is JPG / JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)?

JPG is a lossy raster format that compresses photographic images by discarding detail the human eye is unlikely to notice. Quality is set on a 0–100 scale; most web images use 60–85.

Best for: Photographs and complex images with smooth colour gradients, where small file size matters more than pixel-perfect accuracy. Trade-offs: No transparency, visible artefacts at low quality, and every re-save loses a little more detail (generation loss).

What is WebP?

WebP is a modern image format from Google that offers both lossy and lossless modes plus alpha transparency and animation. At matched quality it is typically 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG.

Best for: Web images where page-load speed and Core Web Vitals matter; it replaces both JPG and PNG in one format. Trade-offs: Older software and some social platforms still do not accept WebP, so a JPG or PNG copy is sometimes needed.
