The two formats, briefly
| JPG | JPG uses lossy image compression and does not support transparency. This converter fills transparent areas with white for JPG output. | |
|---|---|---|
| WEBP | WebP supports lossy and lossless images, transparency and animation. This page exports one browser-decoded image, not an animation or metadata archive. | |
When you need this
- Export JPG as WebP for a website or app that accepts it. Size savings depend on the image and quality setting; compare the actual export rather than assuming it will be smaller.

Good to know

JPG to WEBP, answered
Why convert JPG to WEBP?+
Export JPG as WebP for a website or app that accepts it. Size savings depend on the image and quality setting; compare the actual export rather than assuming it will be smaller.
Which quality should I pick?+
Higher quality usually retains more image detail at the cost of size. JPG and this WebP export use lossy encoding; output size is not guaranteed to be smaller.
Does converting JPG to WEBP lose quality?+
JPG and this WebP export use lossy compression. Transparent areas become white in JPG. Animation, metadata and editable vector paths are not preserved; keep the source if those matter.
Is there a file size limit?+
The hard cap is 2 GB per file. The practical limit is your device: conversion runs in its memory, so very large files can fail on phones with little free RAM. There is no server-side cap because nothing is uploaded.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?+
No. The file is read and converted by code running in this browser tab. Your file is never sent to a server - its contents stay in this tab.
