    Choose your JPG

    Click to browse or drag a JPG in — it never leaves your device.

    75–85 usually matches the visual quality of the source JPG at a noticeably smaller size.

  3. 03

    Canvas encodes the WebP

    Your browser recompresses the image to WebP at your chosen quality using its more efficient codec.

  4. 04

Settings guide

Quality
A setting of 75–85 usually matches the visual quality of the source JPG at a much smaller size — WebP compresses more efficiently. Avoid converting back and forth repeatedly: each lossy re-encode discards a little more detail.

About the formats

JPG

JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used lossy image format for photographs, standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992. Practically every camera, phone, and image application can create and open it.

Its strengths are small file sizes for photos and universal compatibility across devices, browsers, and software. The trade-offs: lossy compression introduces artifacts, there is no transparency support, and quality degrades a little more with every re-save. Use JPG for photographs; choose PNG for screenshots, logos, or anything that needs sharp edges or transparency.

WebP

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression, along with transparency and animation. At comparable visual quality it usually produces noticeably smaller files than JPG or PNG.

Every current browser supports WebP, which makes it an excellent default for web delivery. Outside the browser the picture is mixed: older desktop software, some email clients, and legacy systems may fail to open it. If a recipient cannot view a WebP file, convert it to JPG for photos or to PNG when transparency must be preserved.

Troubleshooting

The WebP looks slightly smoother than my JPG
Re-encoding a lossy image is never pixel-identical: WebP tends to smooth fine grain and noise. Raise the quality setting if detail matters; if you need an exact copy of the pixels, keep the original JPG.
A website or app rejects my WebP file
WebP is universal in browsers, but some upload forms, older CMSs, and print services only accept JPG or PNG. Keep the original JPG for those destinations and use WebP where it is supported — your own website, for example.
Is this conversion private and free?
Yes on both counts: the conversion runs entirely in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded to any server, and single-file conversions are free with no usage limit.
