How to convert images to WebP
WebP is the format most websites should use for photos and graphics today. It is supported by every current browser, keeps transparency like PNG and is typically 25 to 35% smaller than JPG at a similar look. This converter turns any image you have into WebP, ready to upload to your site, shop or CMS.
Add JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF or HEIC files and each one is decoded in your browser and saved as WebP at quality 85 by default, with its dimensions kept. Transparent PNG and GIF areas stay transparent. Only the first frame of animated GIFs is used, so the result is a still image.
How to use the Image to WebP Converter
- Drop your images onto the upload area, click it to choose files, or paste an image with Ctrl+V. This page accepts JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, HEIC and other files, many at once and up to 80 MB each.
- Keep quality 85 for photos, raise it to 90 to 95 for screenshots and graphics with small text, or lower it to 70 to 75 for thumbnails.
- Open Resize and choose Max if your images are larger than they will be displayed, for example 1600 pixels wide for blog images.
- Check the result with the before/after slider: drag the divider across the preview and read the new dimensions, file size, quality and percentage saved underneath. Any change to the settings re-processes every image automatically.
- Download a single image, or use Download all (ZIP) for the whole batch. Under More options you can also set a DPI value and a file-name pattern with {name}, {w} and {h}.
Why convert images to WebP
- Faster pages. Smaller images download faster and improve Largest Contentful Paint, one of Google's Core Web Vitals.
- Transparent graphics. Logos and cut-outs keep their transparency at a fraction of the PNG size.
- Smaller uploads. Lighter files upload faster to CMSs and use less hosting storage and bandwidth.
Using WebP on your website
Most CMSs, including WordPress, accept WebP uploads directly. If you must support very old browsers, serve WebP inside a picture element with a JPG fallback; for everyone else a plain img tag with a .webp file is enough. Keep dimensions close to the displayed size: a 4000-pixel photo shown 800 pixels wide wastes far more bytes than any format choice can save.
Keep your original JPG or PNG files: some email clients, print services and older apps still do not accept WebP, and WebP to JPG brings an image back when you need it.
Private, free and fast
The whole job runs in your browser: images are decoded, resized and re-encoded on your own device, so nothing is uploaded to a server. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit, and location and camera data (EXIF) are removed from every result.

Frequently asked questions
Is WebP supported by all browsers?
Yes, all current browsers including Safari 14 and later display WebP.
Does converting to WebP reduce quality?
WebP at quality 85 looks the same as the original at normal size for most images, while the file is much smaller.
Will transparency be kept?
Yes. Transparent areas of PNG and GIF images stay transparent in the WebP.
Can I convert animated GIFs to animated WebP?
No, only the first frame is converted, so the WebP is a still image.
Can I convert many images to WebP at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you need and download them together as a ZIP.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The images are processed locally in your browser and never leave your device. Closing the tab discards them.
