Why WebP?

WebP is a modern image format created to deliver smaller files at comparable or better visual quality than legacy formats like JPEG and PNG. It supports:

  • Lossy compression (great for photos, banners, hero images)
  • Lossless compression (great for UI elements, logos, screenshots)
  • Alpha transparency (RGBA) — yes, transparent backgrounds
  • Animation (think lightweight animated stickers or headers)
  • ICC color profiles, EXIF metadata (optional)

By switching image to WebP you usually get:

  • 30–70% smaller than JPEG for photo content (at similar quality)
  • Up to ~40% smaller than PNG for graphics, with transparency preserved
  • Faster page loads → better Core Web Vitals and SEO
  • Lower CDN and storage costs

What this free converter does (quick overview)

  • Accepts: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and more
  • Outputs: WebP (lossy or lossless)
  • Preserves: transparency (from PNG/GIF), orientation, color profile
  • Controls:
    • Quality slider (0–100) for lossy WebP
    • Lossless mode for pixel-perfect assets
    • Optional metadata stripping for privacy & size
    • Optional max width/height to downscale large images
  • Batch option: Convert an entire page or site’s images (non-WebP files) and download a ZIP with preserved folder structure
  • Developer-friendly: Simple REST API you can call from your app or build pipeline
  • Privacy-first: No sign-up, and you control whether metadata is retained or removed

"Image to WebP" with precision controls

  • Quality (0–100): Fine-tune compression for JPG to WebP and JPEG to WebP scenarios. Lower values = smaller file, but more compression.
    Tip: Start at 80 for photos; many sites can drop to 70–75 without visible loss.
  • Lossless Mode: Ideal for PNG to WebP conversions where crisp edges matter (logos, icons, screenshots). Expect near-identical pixels with a smaller file than PNG in many cases.
  • Transparency: If your PNG has a transparent background, it stays transparent in WebP.
  • Alpha quality: For advanced users, tune how transparent edges are compressed.

"All other formats to WebP"

Besides JPG/JPEG/PNG, the converter accepts:

  • GIF → WebP (first frame or full animation support depending on mode)
  • BMP, TIFF, ICO, and others
    If it's a common raster format, you can likely convert it to WebP here.

Batch / Site crawler for scale

Running a big blog or store? Use the Site Convert option:

  • Enter a URL (e.g., a category or article page).
  • We collect all image URLs, skip files already in WebP, and convert the rest.
  • Download a ZIP that keeps the relative paths intact.
    This is handy for testing or migrating assets to WebP while preserving folders.

When should I use lossy vs. lossless WebP?

  • Lossy WebP (quality slider)
    Best for photos, gradients, and complex images. Quality 70–85 is a sweet spot for most sites. Lower if you’re extremely size-sensitive and the subject is forgiving.
  • Lossless WebP (no quality loss)
    Best for logos, UI icons, line art, and screenshots with text. You’ll keep crisp edges and flat colors. It’s often smaller than PNG while remaining pixel-perfect.

Why "image to WebP" helps SEO and Core Web Vitals

Search engines increasingly reward fast websites. Media is often the biggest bottleneck. Converting JPG to WebP or PNG to WebP can:

  • Reduce Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) by loading lighter hero images.
  • Improve First Input Delay (FID) and Interaction to Next Paint (INP) indirectly by freeing bandwidth
  • Help get your page under key thresholds used in rankings signals
  • Boost user retention and conversion rates (faster pages = happier users)

Pair your WebP images with responsive sizes (srcset) and proper lazy-loading to maximize gains.

Tips for excellent results

  • Photos: Start with quality 80. If you’re compressing a gallery, batch test 75 and compare.
  • Logos & UI: Try Lossless first. If files are still large, test lossy quality 90–95 to see if it’s acceptable.
  • Hero images: Consider setting max width/height (e.g., 1920 × 1080) to reduce oversized originals.
  • Strip metadata for public web images unless you specifically need EXIF.
  • Re-run on critical pages: Convert assets used in your templates, homepage, and key landing pages.
  • Keep originals: It’s wise to keep a high-quality master and generate WebP variants during build/deploy.

Frequently asked questions

Is WebP supported by all browsers?

Yes in modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera). For legacy browsers, you can use a fallback strategy (e.g., <picture> element with a JPEG/PNG source as a backup). In 2025, WebP support is nearly universal on desktop and mobile.

Does converting JPG to WebP always make files smaller?

Almost always for web-style photos—but not guaranteed. If a JPEG is already heavily compressed (or tiny), savings may be minimal. The tool shows you the output; you can adjust quality or switch to lossless as needed.

Can WebP keep transparent backgrounds from PNG?

Yes. Transparency (alpha channel) is supported in both lossy and lossless WebP. That’s why PNG to WebP is so popular for UI assets.

Will metadata (EXIF/GPS) be preserved?

By default, the converter can preserve metadata. You can toggle Strip metadata to remove EXIF, GPS, and other tags for privacy and smaller files.

Can I convert animated GIFs to WebP?

You can convert animated content to WebP in animation mode. If you only need the first frame, you can export a static WebP.

Is this converter free?

Yes. The Image to WebP and JPG/PNG/JPEG to WebP conversions are completley free to use.

Do I need to upload files to your server?

You can either upload a local file or provide a URL. We don't store any images uploaded. We just convert the image and return the converted image in temp memory.

How do I name the output files?

For single conversions, we keep your original filename and just swap the extension to .webp. For site crawls, the ZIP maintains your relative folder structure and converts each filename similarly.

What about image quality? I’m worried about artifacts.

Use a side-by-side check on a large monitor and adjust the quality slider. WebP is efficient—values around 80 generally look visually similar to the original JPEG, with far smaller file sizes.

Troubleshooting

I converted a PNG and the WebP is bigger. Why?

Sometimes line art or small, flat graphics compress very well as PNG. Try lossy WebP with quality 90–95, or keep the PNG for that asset. It’s OK to mix formats; use what’s best per image.

My image looks soft at quality 70.

Bump to 80–85 for critical visuals. You can also try lossless WebP for UI assets.

Download filename has weird characters.

We send standards-compliant Content-Disposition headers so spaces and Unicode work across modern browsers. If you still see odd names, your OS or browser is normalizing them. You can also rename locally after download.
