JPG to WebP Converter
To convert JPG to WebP, add your JPG photos and press Convert with WebP selected. WebP usually reaches the same visual quality as JPG in a smaller file, which helps web pages load faster. The quality slider starts at 100%; for web use, 75–85% is a common compromise. The conversion runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
- Free, no sign-up
- Your file never leaves your device
- Up to 50 MB per file
At 100% quality WebP is encoded losslessly: pixels are kept exactly, but the file usually gets larger. Lower the quality to 80–90% to shrink it.
Your file never leaves your device; images are processed in your browser. EXIF and location data are not added to the output.
How to convert JPG to WebP
Add your JPG files
Drag the images onto the upload area or browse for them; you can add several files at once.
Keep WebP as the output
WebP is already selected. For formats with a quality setting the slider starts at 100%; lower it if you want a smaller file.
Convert and download
Press “Convert”. Every file is processed in your browser, and you can download the results one by one or as a ZIP.
What is preserved?
Kept
- The image resolution (pixel dimensions)
- The correct photo orientation (EXIF orientation is applied)
- Colors (adapted to sRGB)
Changed
- WebP is a lossy format: lower quality means a smaller file but less fine detail
Not carried over
- EXIF, location and camera data: left out of the output for privacy
When to use it
Speed up a website
Smaller images mean faster pages and better scores in Core Web Vitals tests. Converting product photos and banners from JPG to WebP is one of the quickest ways to lower page weight.
Save storage and bandwidth
If you store or send many photos, WebP can reduce their total size noticeably at a quality that still looks the same on screen.
Limitations to know
- Up to 50 MB per file; the output can be at most 16,384 pixels on one side.
- On iPhone and iPad, images above roughly 16 megapixels may not be processed because of a browser limit.
About the formats
What is JPG?
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used photo format. It uses lossy compression: detail the eye notices least is discarded to make files small, and the quality setting trades size against detail. JPG does not support transparency and is not ideal for text or sharp-edged graphics, but nearly every device, app and website opens it.
What is WebP?
WebP is an image format developed by Google for the web. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation, and typically produces smaller files than JPG or PNG at similar quality. All current browsers display WebP, though some older editors and print services cannot open it.
Frequently asked questions
Will the WebP be smaller than my JPG?
Often yes, but not always. At the default 100% quality a WebP can even be larger than the JPG it came from. Lower the quality to about 75–85% to see the size benefit.
Do all browsers and apps open WebP?
All current browsers display WebP, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Some older editors and print services do not, so keep the original JPG if you need the widest compatibility.
Is the conversion lossless?
No. JPG and WebP are both lossy formats, so the picture is compressed once more. At high quality settings the extra loss is hard to notice.
Does EXIF data stay in the file?
No. Camera details and GPS location in the JPG are not copied into the WebP, which also makes the file slightly smaller.
Is converting JPG to WebP free?
Yes, completely free. There is no account, subscription or watermark; just add your files and convert them.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Images are processed in your browser and never leave your device, so the waiting time depends on the file size and your device. EXIF and location data are not added to the output.
