How to convert JPG to WebP
- 1 Drop your JPG photos on the box, or click browse to choose them. You can add many at once.
- 2 Choose the quality: High is a good balance of size and detail.
- 3 Press Convert. One image downloads directly; several come in a ZIP file.
- 4 Check the new size and file size shown under each image.

Frequently asked questions
How much smaller is WebP than JPG?
Usually 25% to 35% at similar visual quality, sometimes more for large photos. The exact saving depends on the image.
Do all browsers support WebP?
Yes. Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari (since version 14) and all modern mobile browsers display WebP.
Which quality should I choose?
High suits most web photos. Maximum keeps the finest detail for portfolios; Medium gives the smallest files for thumbnails.
Can I convert WebP back to JPG later?
Yes, with the WebP to JPG converter, but each lossy conversion loses a little detail, so keep your original JPG.
Does WebP keep EXIF data?
No. Converting in the browser removes camera details and location data, which also protects your privacy.
Is WebP good for printing?
Not really. Print shops expect JPG, PNG, TIFF or PDF. Use WebP for screens and the web.
Does Google rank WebP images higher?
Google does not rank formats directly, but faster pages give a better experience, and page speed is one of many ranking signals.
Will my images look different?
At the High setting most people cannot see a difference on screen. Very fine textures, such as grass or fabric, can soften slightly at Medium.
Do social media sites accept WebP?
Some do and some convert or reject it. For social posts, JPG remains the safest choice; WebP is best for your own website.
Are my photos sent anywhere during conversion?
No. Your browser does the conversion itself, so product shots and personal photos stay on your device from start to finish.
How this tool works. These image tools run entirely in your browser using the Canvas API built into every modern browser, the open-source libheif decoder for iPhone HEIC photos and Tesseract, a widely used open-source OCR engine, for reading text. Each tool is tested with real phone photos, screenshots and scans before it goes live, and nothing you open is sent to a server.
