WebP delivers the same visual quality as JPEG in files 25–35% smaller — a direct win for page speed and Core Web Vitals. Drop your JPG photos below to convert them to WebP instantly, entirely in your browser.

Choose filesFor photographic content, lossy WebP typically produces files 25–35% smaller than JPEG at visually equivalent quality. The gain comes from more modern techniques: WebP predicts each block from its already-decoded neighbours before encoding only the difference, an approach borrowed from video compression that JPEG's 1992 design does not use.
On a page carrying a megabyte of JPEGs, that is roughly 300KB saved for no perceptible change — meaningful on mobile connections and directly reflected in Largest Contentful Paint. WebP also supports transparency, which JPEG never has, so it can replace both JPEG and PNG in a single format.
Browser support is no longer a consideration: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari and every current mobile browser have handled WebP for years. The remaining gaps are outside the browser — some desktop applications, print workflows and older upload forms still expect JPEG, which is worth checking before converting an archive.
The caveat is generation loss. Converting a JPEG to lossy WebP means a second lossy pass over an image that has already lost information, so keep the quality at 80% or above to avoid compounding artefacts. If you still have the original camera file, encoding to WebP directly from that gives a cleaner result than going through JPEG first.
At equivalent visual quality, lossy WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than JPEG. On an image-heavy page this often saves hundreds of kilobytes and measurably improves Largest Contentful Paint.
Yes — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and all modern mobile browsers have supported WebP for years. Fallbacks are only needed for very old browsers like Internet Explorer.
80% is the sweet spot for web use: visually identical to the source JPEG with maximum savings. Use 90% for photography portfolios where fine detail matters.
Yes, it's still worth it — WebP re-encodes the decoded pixels more efficiently, so you typically save 20–30% even from an optimized JPEG. Just avoid repeating lossy conversions multiple times.
