    Add your JPG photos.

  2. 02.

    WebP is already selected: press Process.

  3. 03.

    Download the WebP files or the complete ZIP.

Why use WebP on a website

Lighter images make pages load faster, which improves the experience on mobile connections and helps Core Web Vitals. WebP supports lossy and lossless compression and is displayed by every current browser.

Getting the smallest file

Convert keeps maximum quality so no detail is lost in the switch. To make the WebP as light as possible, continue to Compress and choose the quality level; the tool shows the real size before you download.

Common problems and how to fix them

  • The WebP is not smaller than my JPG

    Convert saves at maximum quality so nothing is lost. Continue to Compress and choose around 75–85 to get the size advantage.

  • Someone cannot open the WebP I sent

    Some email and desktop programs do not support WebP. Send JPG for email and keep WebP for your website.

  • Photos are still heavy on my site

    Most weight comes from pixels. Resize to the width your layout displays before compressing.

🔗 Keep going without uploading again

A typical website workflow: JPG to WebP, then Resize to the width your layout uses, then Compress. All three steps work on the same files without uploading them again.
