Why convert your JPG photos to WebP

This free converter turns JPG and JPEG photos into WebP files, directly in your browser. WebP is an image format developed by Google for the web: for a photo, it produces a smaller file than JPEG at a comparable visual quality, and all modern browsers display it. Lighter photos load faster, which helps your pages' Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), one of Google's Core Web Vitals.

Convert a JPG to WebP in 4 steps

  1. Drop your .jpg or .jpeg file in the zone above, or paste it with Ctrl+V.
  2. Set the width at which the photo will be displayed on your site (1200 px by default) and adjust the crop if needed.
  3. Start at quality 65 %. If you notice blur in fine details (hair, foliage, text in the photo), raise it to 75–80 %.
  4. Check the estimated weight in the preview, then download the WebP file.

Measured example

A camera photo (JPEG, 3456 × 4608 px, 7.62 MB) converted with this tool on 3 November 2026 in Chrome:

SettingsWebP weightSaved
1200 px wide, quality 65 %53.0 KB−99 %
1200 px wide, quality 80 %100.1 KB−99 %
1920 px wide, quality 65 %105.9 KB−99 %
Full size, quality 65 %366.5 KB−95 %

Most of the saving comes from the width: displaying a 3456 px photo in a 1200 px column wastes bandwidth. The format does the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Is WebP better than JPG for photos on a website?
In most cases, yes: at a similar visual quality the WebP file is smaller, so the page loads faster. Keep your original JPEG as a source file for printing or editing.
Will my photo lose quality?
WebP compression is lossy, like JPEG. At 65 % the difference is hard to see on screen for most photos. Use the live preview before downloading and raise the quality if needed.
What happens to the photo's EXIF data?
The conversion goes through the browser's canvas, which does not copy camera metadata. The WebP file does not contain the original EXIF data, including any GPS position.
