Turn any JPG, PNG or other image into a modern, smaller WebP file.
Converts instantly into the modern, smaller WebP format
The WebP Converter is a dedicated, one-click tool for turning any everyday photo into the modern WebP format, which usually gives noticeably smaller file sizes than JPG or PNG at a similar visual quality. Since most current browsers and websites now support WebP well, it has become a popular choice for anyone trying to keep a website or app feeling fast.
Your uploaded image is decoded into an image element and drawn onto a canvas exactly as it appears, then exported using the browser's built-in WebP encoder at the quality level you choose. WebP supports both lossy compression, similar in spirit to JPEG, and lossless compression with full transparency, similar in spirit to PNG, so the encoder picks the appropriate internal method automatically based on your source image and chosen quality.
Web developers convert an entire folder of JPG and PNG assets into WebP, one at a time, to shrink total page weight and improve load times. Bloggers convert photos to WebP before uploading them to a content management system that recommends the format for better performance scores. App developers prepare smaller image assets for a web app where every kilobyte of download size affects the user's experience.
WebP with transparency behaves like PNG and keeps a source image's alpha channel intact, while WebP without transparency behaves more like a smaller JPG, so keep this in mind when checking your converted file. If your destination platform or older software does not support WebP, keep a JPG or PNG backup on hand, since some very old browsers and tools still cannot open WebP files directly.
In most cases yes, but the exact size difference depends on the specific photo's content and the quality settings chosen, so results vary slightly image to image.
