  1. Upload your image (JPG, PNG, GIF, or other format)
  2. Adjust quality slider (85% recommended for best balance)
  3. Click 'Process' to convert to WebP format
  4. Download your optimized WebP image

Key Features

Superior Compression

WebP uses advanced compression algorithms from Google, delivering smaller file sizes than JPG or PNG at equivalent quality. Reduces bandwidth and speeds up page loads.

Adjustable Quality

Control compression level from 1-100%. Higher values = better quality but larger files. 80-90% is ideal for most web use cases.

Transparency Support

WebP supports alpha channels like PNG, but with better compression. Convert PNG images with transparency without losing the transparent areas.

Browser-Based Conversion

All conversion happens in your browser using Canvas API. No uploads, complete privacy, instant results.

Universal Input Formats

Convert from any common format: JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, AVIF, and more. Output is always WebP.

Animation Support

WebP supports animated images like GIF, but with much better compression and quality.

Privacy & Security

Image conversion is performed entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to our servers - all processing is local. We have zero access to your files. Check your browser's network tab to verify no uploads occur. Works offline after initial page load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WebP and why use it?

WebP is a modern image format from Google offering better compression than JPG/PNG. Same visual quality, smaller file sizes = faster websites and lower bandwidth costs. Widely supported in modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 14+).

What quality setting should I use?

85% is recommended for most photos - near-identical quality with significant size savings. Use 90-95% for high-quality images, 70-80% for less critical images. Test different values to find your preference.

Does WebP support transparency?

Yes. WebP supports alpha channels like PNG but with better compression. Converting transparent PNGs to WebP typically saves 25-50% file size while preserving transparency.

Are WebP images compatible with all browsers?

Modern browsers support WebP: Chrome 23+, Firefox 65+, Edge 18+, Safari 14+, Opera 12+. For older browsers, serve JPG/PNG fallbacks using tags or JavaScript detection.

Can I convert WebP back to JPG or PNG?

Yes. Use our Convert to JPG or Convert to PNG tools. However, converting lossy WebP to lossy JPG will compound quality loss. Convert back to PNG for lossless preservation.

How much smaller will my images be?

Varies by content. Typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent-quality JPG, 26-50% smaller than PNG. Photos compress better than graphics with text or sharp edges.

Does WebP support animation?

Yes. WebP supports animation like GIF but with better compression and 24-bit color support (vs GIF's 256 colors). Convert animated GIFs to WebP for smaller files.
