WebP format conversion

Convert images to WebP format locally for faster webpage loading

Next-generation WebP images load faster than legacy JPEG and PNG files while maintaining high visual quality. Convert your graphics to WebP with the image converter, locally in your browser, without uploading files.

How to convert graphics to WebP locally

Load, set quality, convert, deploy.

1

Select your JPEG or PNG file

Open the image converter and choose the source image.

2

Select WebP as the target format

Pick WebP output and set the quality level for the conversion.

3

Encode the WebP locally in your browser.

4

Download and deploy

Save the WebP file and replace the legacy image in your project.

02

WebP conversion routes

Different sources need different handling on the way to WebP.

Direct to WebP

The image converter re-encodes JPG and PNG sources as WebP in one step.

Best for most web images

From JPG specifically

The JPG to WebP tool is tuned for photo sources and quality-sensitive conversion.

Best for photo-heavy sets

Resize before converting

For oversized images, resize with the image resizer first so WebP encodes exactly what the page displays.

Best when dimensions exceed the layout
03

What WebP saves you

For the same visual quality, WebP is typically 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG and 30 to 50 percent smaller than PNG for photos. On a page with many images, those savings add up to visibly faster loading and lower bandwidth costs.

04

Browser support and fallbacks

All modern browsers open WebP, so the format is safe for new work. For legacy clients, serve WebP with a JPG fallback in the picture element, and convert copies with the WebP to JPG tool when a recipient needs the older format.

Problems with legacy formats

  • PNG photos waste megabytes on lossless storage
  • JPG files at high quality stay needlessly large
  • Slow image loading hurts page speed scores
  • Uploading brand assets to random converters risks leaks
06

WebP adoption practices

  • Convert photos at 75 to 85 percent quality
  • Resize to display dimensions before converting
  • Serve WebP with a JPG fallback for old clients
  • Verify the visual result side by side with the original

Frequently asked questions

Is WebP supported everywhere?

All current browsers and operating systems support WebP. Very old programs do not, so for those audiences serve a JPG fallback or convert copies with the WebP to JPG tool.

How much smaller will my images be?

Expect roughly 25 to 35 percent savings over JPG and more over PNG at the same visual quality. The exact figure depends on the image content and the quality setting you choose.

Does WebP support transparency?

Yes. WebP supports an alpha channel, so PNG graphics with transparency convert cleanly and usually end up smaller than the PNG original.

08

Conversion stays on your device

The image converter encodes WebP locally in your browser. Your source images are read on your device and the results are produced there, with no upload and no stored copies.
