82 is the point where most people stop being able to tell. Above 90 the file grows fast for very little.

  • No upload The conversion runs in this tab. Your file never travels — not to us, and not to the advertising.
  • No sign-up, no email, no daily cap There is no account system to sign up to.
  • No size limit we invented Only your device's memory — about ~2 GB on a desktop browser, ~400 MB on a phone.
  • Turn your Wi-Fi off and convert anyway The conversion needs nothing but this page. Ads will not load without a connection; your file will still convert. That is the whole claim, and it takes five seconds to check.

Converts JPG to WebP, which is usually 25–35% smaller at the same apparent quality. Worth doing for anything served over the web, where those bytes are paid for on every visit.

It is a second lossy compression

The JPEG has already discarded detail; encoding to WebP discards a little more. At quality 82 this is not visible, but it is real, and it is why you should convert from the original rather than from a JPEG that has already been re-saved several times.

If you still have the camera original or the PNG master, convert from that instead — the result will be both smaller and better.

Serving both, for the browsers that need it

The standard pattern is to let the browser choose:

<picture><source srcset="photo.webp" type="image/webp"><img src="photo.jpg" alt=""></picture>

Every current browser takes the WebP; anything that does not falls back to the JPEG. Keep both files, which is why converting a folder at once is the useful shape here.

Metadata is removed, which is usually the point

Re-encoding through a canvas keeps the pixels and discards everything else: EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera make and model, lens, shutter speed, the timestamp, any embedded thumbnail, and the colour profile.

For a photo you are about to publish this is a feature. A JPEG straight off a phone can carry the exact coordinates of where it was taken, and stripping that before it goes anywhere public is good practice — the conversion does it as a side effect.

The one piece of metadata that is honoured before being dropped is the orientation flag. Phones store photos in the sensor's native orientation with a tag saying which way is up; ignoring it produces sideways pictures. It is applied to the pixels, so the result is upright without needing the tag.

If you need the EXIF preserved, this is the wrong tool — a converter that re-encodes cannot keep it.

Questions

How much smaller is WebP really?
25–35% at equivalent visual quality is the usual range for photographs. Images with flat colour and hard edges do better still.
Should I convert from the JPEG or the original?
From the original if you have it. Converting a JPEG is a second lossy pass, which the original avoids.
Is WebP safe to use on a public site?
Yes. Every browser released since 2020 supports it, and a element covers anything older.
Can I convert a whole folder of images?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like, or a whole folder. Each keeps its original name with the new extension — IMG_4032.heic becomes IMG_4032.jpg, never converted_1.jpg — and you can download them individually or as a ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The decoding and re-encoding happen in this tab using the browser’s own image support. Photos are personal in a way most files are not, and none of them is transmitted. Turn your Wi-Fi off and the converter keeps working.
