JPG to WebP

Converts one JPG/JPEG image to WebP in your browser using the canvas encoder at a fixed quality of 0.92. WebP is often a smaller file than the equivalent JPEG, but the exact saving depends on the image.

FAQ

Will the WebP be smaller than my JPG?

Frequently, but not guaranteed. The JPG was already compressed, and re-encoding it at 0.92 adds a second lossy step, so the saving depends on the picture. Compare the two file sizes before replacing anything.

Does re-encoding a JPG to WebP lower the quality?

Slightly, yes. Both formats are lossy here, so the image is compressed twice. At 0.92 the difference is usually hard to see, but it is not zero. Keep the original JPG.

Why did I get an error about the browser not being able to encode WebP?

Canvas WebP encoding works in Chromium-based browsers and Firefox, but Safari may return a different format. The tool checks the output type and reports an error rather than handing you a mislabelled file. Try another browser.

Can I set the WebP quality or compress harder?

Not on this page. For a quality slider with WebP output, use the Image Compressor.
