WebP encodes the same photo roughly a quarter to a third smaller than JPG at equal visual quality. If you publish images online — a blog, a shop, a portfolio — converting JPGs to WebP is one of the easiest page-speed wins available. Set the quality slider to taste and batch-convert entire folders.
JPG is the most widely used photo format on the web. It uses lossy compression that keeps file sizes small while preserving the detail that matters in photographs. Nearly every device, browser, app and website accepts JPG, which makes it the safest choice for sharing and uploading pictures. It does not support transparency or animation.
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that compresses roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, and also supports transparency and animation. It is the default download format on many websites today. All current browsers display WebP, but some older apps, photo editors and printing services still reject it — which is the most common reason to convert it.
| JPG | WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Raster image | Raster image |
| Compression | Lossy | Lossy or lossless |
| Transparency | No | Yes |
| Animation | No | Yes |
| Typical use | Photos, web images, email attachments | Web images, downloads from websites |
If your site still serves JPG photos, converting them to WebP is one of the cheapest performance wins available: typically 25–35% smaller files at the same visual quality, which compounds across every image on the page and every visitor on a slow connection. Faster image loading improves Largest Contentful Paint, one of the Core Web Vitals that Google uses in ranking — so the benefit is measurable, not cosmetic.
Use the quality slider deliberately. Re-encoding an already-compressed JPG at a very high WebP setting can occasionally grow the file; around 80–85 is the sweet spot where WebP’s encoder does its best work on photographic content. Batch-convert an entire image folder in one drop, download the ZIP, and swap the files in your CMS — file names are preserved with the new extension, so references are easy to update.

Yes. Select or drop as many files as you like — each one is converted in sequence with its own progress status, and you can download the results individually or all together as a ZIP archive.
WebP uses lossy compression, so there is a quality/size trade-off you control with the quality slider. At the default 92% the difference is practically invisible while files stay small. For archival-grade copies choose PNG instead.
