JPG to WebP
Convert a JPEG image to WebP with adjustable quality while retaining its oriented dimensions.
How it works & supported files
Convert JPEG to WebP
Set WebP quality from 1 to 100. The original dimensions are retained after applying EXIF orientation. A smaller file is not guaranteed.
Static images, processed on your device
Supports static PNG, 8-bit grayscale/RGB JPEG, and static WebP as listed by this tool. Animation, SVG, HEIC, AVIF, and CMYK JPEG are not supported. EXIF orientation is applied before editing. Re-encoding removes source metadata and color profiles, can change colors, and reduces high-bit-depth images to browser canvas output. JPEG and WebP output may change pixels. For transparency, choose PNG or WebP. Outputs are limited to 100 MiB.
About this tool
JPG to WebP converts a JPEG image to WebP with a quality setting, often reducing file size noticeably for the same visual result. It is a good option before publishing photos on the web.
EXIF orientation is applied so the WebP keeps the correct dimensions, and the conversion runs locally. Re-encoding removes source metadata and color profiles as part of producing the new file.
How to use it
- Choose the JPEG image.
- Set the WebP quality level for your size target.
- Run the conversion and compare the file sizes.
- Download the WebP and check it in your browser or editor.
Worked example
A typical 2.5 MB photo from a phone, converted at quality 80, often ends up between 25% and 35% smaller than a JPEG saved at the same visual quality. The exact saving depends on the content: smooth skies and gradients compress better than grass, gravel, or film grain. The result shows both sizes, so you can decide whether the conversion is worth it.
Why WebP for the web
Images are usually the heaviest part of a web page, and smaller images load faster, which improves Largest Contentful Paint, one of Google's Core Web Vitals. WebP is supported by every current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, and most CMS platforms, including WordPress, accept it.
Converting a JPEG to WebP is a second lossy step, so start from the highest-quality original you have. Avoid converting a heavily compressed JPEG, since its artifacts are re-encoded along with the picture. For email attachments, print shops, and older desktop software, keep the JPEG, which is still the most widely accepted format.
Frequently asked questions
What quality should I use?
Around 75 to 85 is usually a good balance for photos. Lower values shrink the file further at the cost of visible artifacts.
Is WebP supported everywhere?
All current major browsers support WebP. Keep a JPEG fallback if you must support very old software.
Are animated WebP or transparent JPEGs involved?
The input must be a standard RGB or grayscale JPEG. Animation is not supported, and JPEG has no transparency.
