Modern WebP Conversion for Faster Websites

WebP has become a standard format for high‑performance websites because it delivers impressive compression while keeping images sharp. This WebP converter makes it easy to move between WebP and more traditional formats like JPG and PNG without uploading anything to a server. The entire workflow runs inside your browser using the Canvas API, so your files always remain on your device.

Use the tool to convert legacy JPG and PNG assets into compact WebP files for use in responsive picture tags or CSS backgrounds. You can also go the other way: if you have a WebP file that needs to be edited in older tools, simply convert it back to JPG or PNG. A quality slider helps you fine‑tune the balance between file size and visible quality for lossy formats.

The interface supports batch processing so you can convert entire folders of assets in one pass. Before/after previews and file size statistics show you exactly how much space you save by moving to WebP or tweaking quality levels. For best results, experiment with different settings on a single representative image before processing your whole library.

WebP converter FAQ

Do all browsers support WebP?

Most modern browsers support WebP. For maximum compatibility, you can provide JPG or PNG fallbacks.

Is WebP always better than JPG or PNG?

WebP often produces smaller files at similar quality, but for certain graphics or workflows PNG and JPG can still be appropriate.

Can I choose lossless WebP?

This tool uses a quality slider for lossy output. For strict lossless workflows, PNG may be a better fit.

Does conversion affect EXIF metadata?

Most metadata is removed when exporting via the Canvas API, which helps reduce file size and protect privacy.

Will converting between formats multiple times degrade quality?

Each lossy conversion can introduce extra artifacts. Keep an original source file where possible.
