Why this conversion
JPEG is universal for photos, but WebP often saves 25–35% at similar quality. Use this page when your website can use WebP and you want smaller files.
About JPG
JPEG is the usual format for photos and works almost everywhere. It does not store transparency.
About WebP
WebP can be smaller than JPEG at comparable quality and is supported by modern browsers.
Good for
- Product and blog photos on a site that already has WebP support
- Cutting JPEG gallery weight 25–35% before a CMS upload
- Replacing hero images that are still served as large JPEGs
What to watch for
Email, some print shops, and government forms still want JPEG. If the destination cannot use WebP, stay on JPG or convert back with WebP to JPG.

Frequently asked questions
Is JPEG the same as JPG?
Yes — same image format, different extension spelling. This page accepts both .jpg and .jpeg files and exports WebP.
Do you upload my photos?
No. Processing stays in your browser on your device. Photos are never sent to our servers — see the Privacy page for details.
Can I still compress after converting?
Yes. Lower quality in Custom settings, or open Compress / Compress to 200KB if you need a hard size limit after converting to WebP.
Does location data stay in the file?
Usually not. Re-encoding in the browser typically strips extra photo metadata, including GPS. Treat the export as a fresh bitmap without EXIF.
