About this conversion
WebP generally achieves smaller file sizes than JPG at equivalent visual quality, making it a good choice for web use where load time matters. This tool encodes real WebP via WebAssembly, not just whatever your browser’s built-in encoder happens to support.
Frequently asked questions
Is WebP actually smaller than JPG?
For most photos, yes -- often noticeably, at a similar quality setting. Results vary by image content.
Do I need to change the quality setting?
The default (85) is a good starting point; lower it for smaller files if you don’t need maximum quality.
Can I convert back to JPG later?
Yes, though each lossy re-encode loses a small amount of additional quality -- avoid repeated round-trips when possible.
