How to convert JPG to WebP
- Choose or drop one or more JPG, JPEG or JFIF files.
- Set the quality (50 to 100, default 85); lower gives smaller files.
- Download each WebP, or all of them as a ZIP.
Where this file comes from
JPG comes from phone and camera photos, stock image downloads, and older website assets. People usually convert to WebP when speeding up a website or blog, since page-speed tools such as Lighthouse recommend modern image formats.
What changes in the conversion
Each JPG is decoded and compressed again as WebP at the same dimensions, with no resizing.
- Kept: image dimensions.
- Converted: pixels are re-encoded as WebP at your chosen quality. Photos with an EXIF orientation flag are rotated upright, CMYK JPEGs are converted to RGB, and any color profile becomes sRGB.
- Dropped: EXIF/XMP metadata (camera, date, location).
Re-compressing a lossy image can add small artifacts, so keep the original JPG if it is your only copy. JPG has no transparency, so the WebP is opaque.
Size limits and browser notes
- Accepts .jpg, .jpeg, .jfif files up to 50 MB each.
- You can convert several files at once; they download together as one ZIP.
- Everything runs in your browser, so very large files depend on your device's memory.
Works in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. If your browser cannot save WebP itself, a WebP encoder from this site loads, so the first conversion takes a moment longer.
FAQ
Will WebP be smaller than my JPG?
Often, but not always. At the default quality of 85 many photos shrink noticeably, yet an already heavily compressed JPG can stay about the same size or grow. Compare the sizes shown next to each result.
Do I lose quality going from JPG to WebP?
A little. Both formats are lossy, so the JPG is decoded and compressed again. Higher quality settings keep more detail but give larger files.
Does the WebP keep my EXIF and location data?
No. EXIF/XMP metadata is dropped, and an embedded color profile is converted to sRGB. A photo with an EXIF rotation flag is rotated upright first.
Where can I use WebP files?
All current browsers display WebP, so it works for websites. Some older desktop programs, print services and email tools still do not open it, so keep your JPGs too.
Can I convert a whole folder of JPGs?
Yes. Select or drop many files, then take them one at a time or as a ZIP. Each file can be up to 50 MB.
