🖼️ Convert JPG to WebP

Why convert JPG to WebP?

Making a website faster: same picture, roughly a quarter less to download.

What is JPG?

JPG is thirty years old and still the safest picture format in existence. It compresses by discarding detail the eye handles poorly, which works beautifully on photographs and badly on text, logos and sharp edges, where it leaves a visible haze. Every device ever made can open it.

What is WebP?

WebP does everything at once: lossy like JPG, lossless like PNG, transparency, animation, and typically a quarter smaller than JPG at the same quality. Browsers love it. Photo editors, printers and older phones are far less enthusiastic, which is why so many WebP files end up being converted back.

JPG vs WebP

What changes when you convert JPG to WebP?

Nothing further is lost, but nothing is recovered either. The detail JPG discarded when the file was created is already gone; WebP simply preserves what remains, without adding more damage on future saves. Expect the file to grow.

How long does it take?

Images finish almost instantly. Conversion runs on our server rather than in your browser, so the only real wait is the upload itself.

What happens to my files?

Your file is uploaded to our server because the conversion runs there. A cleanup task runs every hour and deletes anything older than an hour, so nothing you upload survives more than about two hours. We do not open your files, we do not keep copies, and no account is needed to use the converter.
