Converting for website speed

On home pages, blogs and product pages, photos are usually the heaviest element. In the comparison Google published when announcing WebP, lossy WebP was 25–34% smaller than JPG at the same quality (measured by SSIM). On photo-heavy pages, switching to WebP alone noticeably reduces load time and data usage. All browsers in current use, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari (14 and later), display WebP.

Choosing a quality value

  • Everyday photos: 75–85 is hard to distinguish from the original JPG in most cases.
  • When texture matters, as in product photos: 85–90.
  • Small JPGs that are already heavily compressed may barely shrink or even grow as WebP. Check the before/after sizes in the results list.

Things to watch

  • WebP is also lossy, so JPG → WebP adds another layer of loss. Convert from a high-quality JPG as close to the original as possible.
  • Older editing programs and some upload forms don't accept WebP. Make WebP copies only for publishing and keep the original JPGs.
  • EXIF (date taken, location) is removed when saving as WebP, which is actually safer for photos posted on the public web.

If you have a target size, choose WebP in Compress and enter the KB. The format comparison is in the image format comparison.

How to use

  1. Pick an output format in the options panel on the right (below on mobile). For JPG, WebP and AVIF you can set the quality, and for JPG you can choose a background color for transparent areas.
  2. Drag and drop your images or click to select them. Add several at once and they are converted one after another right away.
  3. If the original contains metadata such as camera model, date taken or GPS location, it is shown below. By default everything is removed; when saving as JPG you can also remove only the location or keep the original data.
  4. After changing options, click ‘Convert again with new settings’. Download results one by one or all at once as a ZIP.
