When This Conversion Makes Sense
Good reasons to convert
- You are optimising images for a web page and want smaller files.
- You are preparing assets for a site or app that accepts WebP.
- You want to test how much a lower quality setting saves.
When to use something else
- Sharing with people whose software may not open WebP: keep JPG.
- Repeatedly re-saving the same image: every lossy save loses detail.
- Upload forms that list JPG or PNG only.
Check the Result
- Compare the sizes of the JPG and the WebP.
- Zoom in for blocks or blur around edges.
- Test the file in the browsers and apps that will display it.
The tool converts one image per run, keeps the pixel dimensions, and does not carry over camera or location metadata. It uses your browser's own image encoder, so the exact bytes can differ between browsers.
