JPG to WebP is for people publishing photos: a blog, a shop or a portfolio where page weight matters and every browser that visits can show WebP. The win comes mostly from picking a sensible quality, so the slider is the part worth using. Each photo is decoded and re-encoded by your browser in this tab, so nothing is uploaded.
What changes and what stays
- A second round of lossy compression. Small at high quality, but it adds up if you convert repeatedly.
- Same dimensions, upright orientation. Rotation tags are applied, so phone photos are saved the right way up.
- No EXIF in the output. GPS, camera and date fields are dropped, and colours are saved as standard sRGB.
When to leave it as a JPG
- You are sending it to a person, not a website. Email clients, office software and print shops handle JPG everywhere; WebP still trips some of them up.
- You want the original photo archived. Keep the camera JPG and its metadata; publish a WebP copy.
- You just need a smaller JPG. Image Compressor lowers the size without changing the format.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller is WebP than JPG?
Less than many guides suggest when the JPG is already well compressed. In our test a 456 KB JPG became a 376 KB WebP at 90% quality. Dropping the slider to 75 to 80% usually saves much more with little visible change, so compare the preview.
Does converting JPG to WebP lose quality?
A little. Both formats are lossy, so the photo is compressed a second time. At 90% or above the change is hard to spot; avoid converting the same image back and forth.
Will my photo's location and camera data be removed?
Yes. The photo is redrawn on a canvas and only pixels are saved, so EXIF data such as GPS position, camera model and capture time are left out of the WebP. Orientation is applied first, so the photo stays upright.
Can I convert JPG to WebP on an iPhone?
Not with this page. Every browser on iPhone and iPad uses Safari's engine, which has no WebP encoder, and the page tells you so when it loads. Desktop Chrome, Edge and Firefox, and Chrome or Firefox on Android, work.
