JPG to WebP converter

Convert JPG to WebP in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

About this tool

WebP stores photos more efficiently than JPG; Google's own measurements put lossy WebP at roughly 25 to 34% smaller than JPG at similar quality. Convert a JPG to WebP here, in your browser.

JPG and WebP

  • JPG: lossy, made for photos, no transparency, accepted almost everywhere.
  • WebP: smaller than JPG at similar quality, supports transparency, not accepted by every upload form.

What changes when you convert

  • Usually a smaller file at similar quality.
  • Location data (EXIF) is removed.
  • Some upload forms won't accept the result, so check what the site allows.

When to convert JPG to WebP

  • You publish images on your own website or blog and want faster pages.
  • A site accepts WebP and you need to get under a size limit.

Private by design

Converter websites upload your file to their servers to do this. With this tool the conversion happens in your browser: the file is never uploaded, to us or anyone else, and location data (EXIF) is removed from photos along the way.

Converting because a website only accepts WebP? Krisox Extension Pro does it for you in the upload form itself, as you upload.

Without this tool

  • Most image editors (for example GIMP, free) can export WebP.
  • Google provides free command-line tools (cwebp) for converting in bulk.

Questions

Will people be able to open a WebP?

Every current browser can, and most image apps. Some older software and some upload forms cannot.

How much smaller will it be?

It depends on the photo; the tool shows the exact size at each level before you download.
