Example
Example: 3 phone photos for a recipe blog converted to WebP at quality 0.8
Three JPG photos of a lemon tart for a blog post, straight from the phone: tart-1.jpg, tart-2.jpg and tart-3.jpg, 4032 × 3024 pixels each. The blog serves WebP, and lighter files make the post load faster.
- Drop all three at once: three files is what the free plan takes in one run.
- Move WebP quality from 0.9, where it starts, to 0.8, which suits photos on the web; 0.9 is closer to lossless and gives bigger files.
- Press Convert to WebP. Each photo is decoded and encoded again on your device and comes back as tart-1.webp, tart-2.webp and tart-3.webp, still 4032 × 3024.
- Camera details and GPS location are not carried over, because each picture is rebuilt from its pixels.
Three WebP files at the same pixel size, usually a quarter to a third smaller than the JPGs for the same look. 4032 pixels is far wider than a blog column, so shrinking the photos to about 1600 pixels first saves much more. Keep the JPGs as your originals.
How it works
- Drop .jpg or .jpeg photos onto the box, or choose them from your device.
- Set the WebP quality. 0.8 matches a typical JPG at quality 85 while producing a smaller file; 0.9 is close to lossless for photos.
- Press Convert to WebP. Your browser decodes the JPG and encodes WebP locally in a Web Worker.
- Download the WebP files individually or as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
- How much smaller will a WebP be than my JPG?
- For photographs, WebP is usually 25-35% smaller at equal visual quality. Pictures that were saved as high-quality JPGs from a camera often shrink even more once you pick a sensible quality.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. The conversion is done by your browser on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere, and the tool works offline.
- Does converting JPG to WebP lose quality?
- JPG is already lossy, and re-encoding adds a small additional loss. At quality 0.85 or higher the difference is not visible on screen. Keep your original JPGs as masters.
- Is EXIF metadata kept?
- No. The image is rebuilt from decoded pixels, so camera settings and GPS location are stripped. That is usually a plus for photos published online.
- Who can view WebP images?
- Every current browser, including Safari since version 14, plus Windows 11, macOS 11 and later, and Android. Some older desktop software still needs JPG.
- It says my browser cannot encode WebP.
- Then that browser can show WebP but not write it, and the tool stops rather than saving another format under a .webp name. Open the page in a current Chrome, Edge or Firefox and convert again.
- What are the free limits?
- The free plan allows 3 files per run, 20 MB per file and 5 runs per day. Pro removes these limits.
