JPG to WebP Converter

Choose JPG photos and each one is saved as a WebP on your device, ready to put on a website.

Free tools that run in your browser. Nothing you type, open or create is uploaded to NerdBible or anyone else.

Choose one or more images to start. Nothing is uploaded.

    Same format compresses each image and keeps its type. Choose JPG, PNG or WebP to convert every image to that format instead. Up to 50 images at a time.

    How to use it

    1. Choose or drop one or more images.
    2. Keep Same format to make the files smaller, or choose JPG, PNG or WebP to convert them.
    3. Set the quality (70 to 80 suits photos) and, if you like, a max width: large photos shrink, smaller ones are never enlarged. For JPG, pick the colour that fills transparent areas; for SVG files, the width of the picture.
    4. Check the result for each file and download them one by one or all together.

    Questions

    How much smaller is WebP than JPG?

    Typically around a quarter to a third smaller at similar visual quality, though it varies with the photo and the settings. Each file shows its exact saving.

    Will the photo look worse?

    At a quality of 75 or more, most people cannot tell the difference at normal viewing size. Raise the quality for detailed images.

    Is EXIF data kept in the WebP?

    No. The WebP is drawn from the pixels, so GPS location, camera model and other metadata are left out.

    About this tool

    Why put WebP on a website

    Images are usually the heaviest part of a web page. Google's own comparison found lossy WebP files about 25 to 34 percent smaller than JPG at similar visual quality, so the same photos load faster and use less of a visitor's data.

    • Set the quality. 75 to 80 is a good start for photos. Compare the before and after sizes shown for each file.
    • Resize at the same time. A phone photo is often 4000 pixels wide; a maximum width of 1600 or 2000 pixels cuts the size much further than the format change alone.
    • Converting twice costs a little. The JPG is already compressed, so the WebP is a second lossy step. Start from the original photo when you can.

    Compatibility

    Every current browser displays WebP. Some older apps and email clients do not, so keep the JPG for sharing and printing and use the WebP on the web. If your browser cannot save WebP, the tool tells you and saves a PNG instead.

    Location and camera data are not copied into the WebP.
