About JPG to WebP
Moving a photo from JPG to WebP is mostly a size experiment. The slider starts at 90 and the WebP is always lossy, so the useful workflow is to convert, read the new file size under Result, and nudge the quality until the picture and the weight both look right. Because the source is already compressed, each step adds a little more loss. Keep the original JPG as your master copy.
Features
- Quality slider from 10 to 100 in steps of 5
- Accepts JPG and JPEG files up to 60 MB
- Size change shown as a percentage smaller or larger than the original
- Rotation flag applied so portrait photos stay upright
- Zoom, pan and before and after slider on the preview
Limitations
- WebP output here is always lossy, and converting from an already-lossy JPG adds a second round of loss.
- The WebP may not be smaller than the JPG; if the badge says larger, lower the quality or keep the JPG.
- EXIF tags and any embedded color profile are not carried into the WebP.
- Downloading needs a free account, and the tool does not check whether the place you are uploading to accepts WebP.
How it works
- Drop a JPG or JPEG file onto the upload area, or browse for it.
- Set the quality with the slider; it starts at 90.
- Select Convert to WEBP.
- Read the size, width and height of the WebP next to the original, and use the slider view to look for artifacts.
- Adjust the quality and convert again if needed, then press Download.
Frequently asked questions
- Yes. The tool never asks for lossless WebP, so the quality slider decides how much detail is discarded. At the default of 90 the change is usually hard to see, but each conversion of an already-compressed JPG adds some loss.
- A JPG saved at a low quality can already be very small, and a WebP at quality 90 can outweigh it. The result panel shows a larger-than-original badge when that happens. Lower the slider and convert again.
- Camera EXIF tags and an embedded color profile are not copied. The photo's rotation flag is applied to the pixels first, so a portrait picture still looks upright in the WebP.
- No, the page takes one file at a time. Dropping several files uses the first and shows a notice that the others were ignored. Press Reset after downloading to start the next one.
