JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and more
Converting JPG photos to WebP makes your files noticeably lighter at the same visual quality. When you have lots of images to put on a website or blog, smaller files mean faster page loads and a better experience for visitors. The quality slider lets you find the right balance between file size and clarity, and everything runs on your device so your photos never leave it.
How to use it
- 1Drag your JPG image in, or click to upload it.
- 2Check that the output format is set to WebP. (WebP is the default on this page.)
- 3Use the quality slider to balance file size and clarity. Around 80% is usually indistinguishable from the original.
- 4Press Convert and the size reduction from the original JPG will appear. Hit download to save — done!
Handy tips
- For web optimization, try testing in the 75–85% quality range. You can typically cut file size by 30–50% without any noticeable difference in most photos.
- JPG has no transparency, so converting to WebP won’t add it. WebP works best for solid, opaque photo images.
- If you need the converted WebP to work in older environments too, keep the original JPG ready as a fallback.
Frequently asked questions

No. JPG has no transparency to begin with, so converting to WebP won’t create a transparent background. If you need transparency, convert to PNG first and then remove the background.
No, the original stays untouched. You only receive the newly converted WebP, and since processing happens entirely on your device, nothing leaves it.
