Room to shrink
WebP already compresses well, but images exported at maximum quality still have room to shrink. Lowering the quality to around 75–85 typically reduces the size noticeably while keeping photos and graphics clean.
Transparency stays
Transparent areas are preserved when compressing WebP, so logos and cut-out images keep their shape.
Suggested quality by use
Starting points for WebP images on websites and apps:
| Image | Suggested quality |
|---|---|
| Photos in articles and products | 75–85 |
| Hero and background images | 80–85 |
| Graphics with text or thin lines | 85–95 |
| Thumbnails and previews | 60–75 |
Common problems and how to fix them
Text in the image looks blurry
Use a higher quality, between 85 and 95, for graphics with text.
The size hardly changed
The image may already be compressed. Resize it to the width it is displayed at for a bigger saving.
Edges of a logo look rough
Transparency is kept, but low quality can roughen thin edges. Raise the quality for logos and icons.
🔗 Keep going without uploading again
Serving images at a fixed width? Resize them to that width before compressing for the smallest possible files.
