Why convert JPG to WebP for your website

JPEG was designed in 1992. It has been the default photo format for three decades because nothing better was widely supported. WebP was developed by Google and achieves 25 to 34% smaller file sizes than JPEG at the same visual quality using a more modern compression algorithm.

For a website with 20 images averaging 400KB each, switching from JPG to WebP saves roughly 2.5MB of data per page load. That translates directly into faster load times, lower bandwidth costs and better scores in Google Lighthouse, which affects search rankings.

Website images

Replace JPG images on product pages, blog posts and landing pages with smaller WebP equivalents.

Core Web Vitals

Google Lighthouse flags JPEGs as a performance opportunity. WebP is the recommended replacement.

E-commerce product photos

Faster product image loading reduces bounce rate and improves conversion on mobile devices.

Blog content images

Inline images load faster on slow connections, improving reader experience and time on page.

WebP browser support

WebP is supported by Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera, covering over 97% of global browser usage. Safari added support in version 14 (2020). Internet Explorer never supported WebP but has had essentially zero usage since Microsoft ended support in 2022.

For most websites today, serving WebP images without a fallback is safe. If you need to support very old Safari versions, you can serve WebP to modern browsers and JPG as a fallback using the HTML picture element. The Core Web Vitals guide covers implementation in detail.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller is WebP compared to JPG?

WebP produces files that are typically 25 to 34% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality, based on Google's benchmarks. For a 500KB JPG, the equivalent WebP is usually around 330 to 375KB. The savings vary by image content , photographs with complex detail compress more than flat or simple images.

Will converting JPG to WebP improve my website speed?

Yes. Smaller image files reduce page weight, which directly improves load time and Core Web Vitals scores. Google Lighthouse flags large JPEGs as an optimisation opportunity and recommends modern formats like WebP. Switching images from JPG to WebP is one of the highest-impact changes you can make to web performance without changing how images look.

Is WebP supported by all browsers?

Yes. WebP has been supported by Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Opera since 2020, covering over 97% of global browser usage. It is safe to use WebP on websites without a fallback for almost all users.

Will converting JPG to WebP affect image quality?

At the default quality setting of 82%, the output WebP is visually indistinguishable from the original JPG for most images at normal viewing sizes. WebP uses a different compression algorithm that achieves better file size at the same visual quality. Use the slider to raise quality if you need to preserve fine detail.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads, conversion still works.

Can I convert multiple JPG files at once?

Yes. Drop multiple JPG files at once or select them from the file picker. Each file converts independently. Download them individually or as a ZIP file.
