How to Convert JPG to WebP

WebP is a modern image format that can provide smaller files than JPG in many situations. It is especially useful for websites and applications that support WebP.

When WebP makes sense

WebP can be a good choice for website images when the destination supports it. If an older application requires JPG, keep a JPG copy instead of replacing the original.

Choose a sensible quality level

Converting an already-compressed JPG to WebP does not recreate lost detail. Start with a high quality setting and compare the result visually.

Convert the file

Use the JPG, PNG & WebP Converter, choose the JPG source and select WebP as the output.

Compress after conversion only when necessary

If the WebP is still too large, check whether its pixel dimensions are excessive. Resizing can be more useful than repeatedly lowering quality.

Keep the original

Keep the source JPG when the image is important. A converted copy is easier to regenerate than a degraded original.
