About this tool
JPEG has been the photo format for thirty years, but WebP encodes the same photo in 25–35 % fewer bytes at the same visual quality. On a page with a dozen photos that is the difference between a slow and a fast load, and Google's page-speed metrics reward it.
Drop your JPGs here and they are converted locally by your browser. Camera orientation is applied automatically, EXIF data is dropped, and you can resize at the same time by setting a maximum size, for example 1920 px for web use.
Quality 80 is a safe default for web photos. If you are converting already-compressed JPEGs, avoid pushing the quality above the original; it only adds bytes without adding detail.
How it works
- Drop JPG or JPEG files onto the page.
- Set quality (80 for web, 90 for portfolio images) and an optional maximum size.
- Save each WebP file.

Frequently asked questions
- Is WebP better than JPEG?
- For web use, yes: WebP is 25–35 % smaller at the same quality, supports transparency and is accepted by all current browsers. JPEG remains the safer choice for printing services and older software.
- Can I resize while converting?
- Yes. Set a maximum size in pixels for the longest side and the image is decoded directly at that size, which also makes the conversion faster.
- Which quality setting should I use?
- 80 is the sweet spot for photos: file size drops by 60–90 % compared with PNG and the difference is invisible at normal viewing sizes. Use 90–95 for print or archival copies, and 60–70 for thumbnails and previews.
- Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No. Decoding, resizing and encoding happen inside your browser using a background worker. The file is read from your device, converted locally, and the result is saved from your browser's memory. Nothing is transmitted.
