    About the JPG to WebP tool

    Smaller images make web pages load faster, which improves user experience and Core Web Vitals scores. WebP is supported by all modern browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

    Conversion uses libwebp, the official WebP encoder, compiled to WebAssembly and running entirely in your browser, the same encoder used by professional image tools.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much smaller is WebP than JPG?

    Typically 25 to 35 percent smaller at the same visual quality, according to Google's studies. The exact saving depends on the photo.

    Do all browsers support WebP?

    Yes. All current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari (14 and newer), Opera and Samsung Internet support WebP.

    What quality should I use for my website?

    75 to 85 works well for most photos. Use the higher end for hero images and product photos, and the lower end for thumbnails.

    Can I convert WebP back to JPG later?

    Yes, with the WebP to JPG converter. Keep your original JPGs if you might need them, since each lossy conversion loses a little detail.
