Why convert JPG to WebP?

WebP compresses photos 25–34% smaller than JPG at equivalent visual quality, so re-encoding JPGs is one of the cheapest page-weight wins available. Use the quality slider to find the smallest file that still looks right — the size readout updates as you drag.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser — no upload, no queue, no watermark. Drop in as many files as you like and download them individually or as a zip.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting JPG to WebP lose quality?
Both formats are lossy, so a re-encode always loses a little information. At quality 80+ the difference is imperceptible for typical photos, and the file still ends up meaningfully smaller than the JPG original.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens inside your browser using the canvas API and a Web Worker — files never leave your device. There is no upload step, no queue and no file size limit beyond your machine's memory.
Is EXIF metadata kept in the converted image?
No — and that's a feature. Re-encoding through the canvas strips all metadata: GPS location, camera model, timestamps and color profiles. The output contains pixels only, which is usually what you want before sharing an image publicly.
Can I convert many images at once?
Yes. Drop or paste any number of files; each is converted in the background with its own progress and download button, and you can grab everything at once as a .zip archive.
Why did my image get re-compressed even converting PNG to PNG?
The converter always decodes to raw pixels and re-encodes, which is also how metadata gets stripped. For lossless targets (PNG, and GIF within its 256-color limit) the pixels stay identical; for JPEG and WebP the quality slider controls the trade-off.
