Open the board Free. No sign-up. Your files stay on your device.

How to do it

  1. Drop the JPG onto the board and select it.
  2. Open the Convert tab and choose WebP as the format.
  3. Set the quality and compare with the slider.
  4. Download the WebP file.

When WebP is a good idea

WebP suits websites, blogs and online shops where file size affects loading speed, and modern browsers and apps open it without trouble. Some older programs and email clients cannot open WebP, so keep the JPG if you plan to send the picture to people with old software. You can also turn WebP back into JPG with the WebP to JPG tool.

When to use it

Use it when you publish pictures on a website, blog or online shop and want pages to load faster. Smaller images help visitors on slow connections and can improve how fast a page feels.

Tips for better results

  • Start around quality 75 to 80 and compare. Most pictures look the same at that setting and are much smaller.
  • Keep the original JPG. Some older programs and email clients cannot open WebP.
  • Resize the picture to the size it is shown at before converting. A huge image is still huge as WebP.
  • For a site, keep a JPG fallback if you need to support very old browsers.
