About JPG to WebP
JPG (also written JPEG) is the photo format almost every upload form, printer and website accepts. It is small and universal, which is why it is the safe answer when a box will not take what you have. It has no transparency and is lossy.
A WebP is Google’s modern web format — a noticeably smaller file than a JPG at the same quality, and every current browser opens one. Need it under a file-size limit in kilobytes as well? Send the WebP through the image compressor afterwards — JPG, PNG and WebP are exactly what it takes.
How to convert JPG to WebP
- Drop your JPG files onto the box above, or tap it to pick them from your gallery or files. One, or up to thirty at once.
- WebP is already selected for you — just drag the quality where you want it, higher for a sharper picture or lower for a smaller file.
- Press Convert, then Download — one WebP for a single image, or one zip for a batch. Every step runs on your device.
Nothing is uploaded
There is no server to upload to. Your JPG is decoded and re-encoded as WebP by this browser, and the Download button points at the result sitting in your own device's memory. Turn your Wi-Fi off once this page has loaded and it still works — the privacy policy walks through the same check. As a side effect of re-encoding, the WebP carries no camera, date or GPS metadata.
Questions and answers
How do I convert JPG to WebP?
Drop your JPG onto the box above — WebP is already chosen for you — then press Convert and Download. Nothing is uploaded; the whole thing happens in your browser.
Is the JPG to WebP converter free?
Yes — free, with no account, no email and no watermark on what you download. There is no daily limit either, because there is no server counting your files.
Does my JPG file get uploaded anywhere?
No. Each JPG is decoded and re-encoded as WebP inside your browser using the Canvas API, so it never leaves your device — turn your Wi-Fi off once the page has loaded and it still works. As a side effect of re-encoding, the WebP carries no EXIF, camera or GPS metadata.
Why convert JPG to WebP?
WebP is Google’s modern web format: at the same quality it is usually a good deal smaller than a JPG, which means faster-loading pages. Every current browser reads it. Use the quality slider to trade file size against sharpness, and keep your original JPG for anywhere that still will not take a WebP.
Can I convert several JPG files at once?
Yes — add up to thirty and they come back as a single zip, each one a WebP. A file that happens to be WebP already is left as it is rather than re-encoded into a worse copy of itself.
