How it works

Three steps. Done in your browser.

Drop your image

Drag a JPEG or PNG file onto the zone or click to browse. No file size limit, all processing is local.

Output format: WebP

The browser's built-in WebP encoder handles conversion. Adjust quality with the slider to control file size.

Save your WebP file

Your browser converts locally and the WebP file saves directly to your device. Nothing is stored or logged.

Why convert

Who needs WebP images?

WebP delivers 25-35% smaller file sizes than JPEG at equivalent quality. Any project that relies on fast-loading images benefits immediately from switching.

Website performance

Replacing JPEG hero images with WebP equivalents shaves hundreds of kilobytes per page load, directly improving Google PageSpeed scores and Core Web Vitals.

E-commerce product images

Product photos as WebP load faster on Shopify, WooCommerce, and Amazon stores, reducing bounce rate and improving conversion from mobile shoppers.

WordPress image libraries

WordPress 5.8 and above serves WebP natively. Converting your existing image library is the fastest way to speed up a WordPress site without changing themes or plugins.

Logos with transparency

WebP supports full alpha channel transparency, just like PNG. Convert PNG logos to WebP and get the same crisp edges at a fraction of the file size.

Blog and editorial images

Blog posts with multiple images benefit enormously from WebP. Readers on mobile data connections see faster load times without any perceptible difference in quality.

Design handoffs and assets

Including WebP exports in design handoffs helps developers meet performance budgets without extra optimisation work on their end. Smaller assets ship faster.

How WebP conversion works under the hood.

When you drop an image, the browser decodes it to a raw pixel buffer using the Canvas API, then re-encodes that buffer using the built-in WebP encoder. This is the same encoder Chrome uses internally, so the quality and file-size guarantees are identical to server-side tools.

Because everything happens on your own CPU, your image never leaves your device. There is no upload endpoint, no server, and no risk of your files being stored or accessed by anyone else.

Common questions

Questions answered.

Is WebP better than JPEG?
WebP is typically 25-35% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality level. It also supports transparency (like PNG) and animation (like GIF). For web delivery, WebP is the superior format in almost every situation.
Does every browser support WebP?
Yes. WebP is supported by all major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari (since version 14), Edge, and Opera. As of 2025, global WebP support is above 98%.
Will converting to WebP make my website faster?
Yes. Smaller images load faster, which directly improves your Google PageSpeed Insights score and Core Web Vitals (specifically Largest Contentful Paint). Google has recommended WebP for web images since 2018.
Does WebP support transparency?
Yes. WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression, as well as transparency (alpha channel). This makes it a suitable replacement for both JPEG and PNG.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your file never leaves your device.
Can I convert multiple images to WebP at once?
Yes, with no batch limit. Drop as many files as you need, all processing runs locally in your browser.
What quality setting should I use for WebP?
Quality 80 is the standard recommendation for web images. Files are typically 60-70% smaller than the original JPEG with virtually no visible difference at screen sizes. For archival or print use, quality 90 or above is safer.
