Upload a JPG image to convert to WEBP
Converting JPG to WEBP is one of the highest-impact optimizations you can make for website performance. WEBP is Google's next-generation image format, developed specifically for the web. It uses advanced compression algorithms that achieve 25–35% smaller file sizes than JPEG at equivalent visual quality — meaning your pages load faster without any visible quality difference.
Google's PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals metrics specifically recommend serving images in next-gen formats like WEBP. Websites that switch from JPG to WEBP consistently see improvements in their Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) scores — a key ranking factor for Google Search. Our free converter processes your image entirely in the browser at 85% WEBP quality, which is visually equivalent to 92% JPEG quality while being significantly smaller.

Once you've converted your images to WEBP, here's how to serve them with a JPEG fallback for older browsers:
<picture> <source srcset="image.webp" type="image/webp"> <img src="image.jpg" alt="Description" width="800" height="600"> </picture>
This HTML pattern serves WEBP to browsers that support it (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and falls back to JPEG for older browsers. The width and height attributes prevent layout shift (CLS).
Upload your JPG image by dragging and dropping or clicking the upload area.
The conversion to WEBP happens automatically in your browser.
