    How to use this converter

    1. Add your images — drag & drop them onto the box above, click to browse, or paste from the clipboard (Ctrl/Cmd + V).
    2. Tune quality and size — the default 82% quality suits most photos. Raise it for sharper output, or set a max dimension to resize while converting.
    3. Download your WebP files — grab them one by one or hit “Download all” to get a single ZIP. Everything is processed on your device.

    Why convert images to WebP?

    WebP is a modern image format developed by Google. For the same visual quality, lossy WebP files are typically 25–34% smaller than JPEG, while lossless WebP is about 26% smaller than PNG (source: Google’s WebP compression study). Every mainstream browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge — has supported it since 2020, so there is little reason left to ship heavyweight JPEGs and PNGs on the web.

    • 25–34% smaller than JPEG at equivalent visual quality
    • Supports transparency (alpha channel) like PNG, unlike baseline JPEG
    • Rendered by roughly 97% of browsers in use worldwide
    • Lighter images mean faster pages, better Core Web Vitals and SEO

    Private by design — nothing is uploaded

    Unlike most online converters, this tool never sends your files to a server. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — you can even go offline after the page loads and it will keep working. Your images stay on your device, which makes it safe for client work, NDA material or personal photos.

    Tips for best results

    • Quality 80–85 is the sweet spot for photographs — the difference from the original is usually invisible
    • Use quality 90+ for screenshots, text and line art
    • Watch the per-file size saving shown in the list; if output is barely smaller, lower quality a notch
    • Use the max-size option to resize large photos while converting, e.g. to 1920 px for web use

    Frequently asked questions

    Is this tool really free?
    Yes — unlimited files, unlimited conversions, no account and no watermarks. The site is supported by unobtrusive advertising.
    Are my images uploaded to a server?
    No. All conversion runs locally in your browser via the HTML5 Canvas API. Your files never leave your device, and nothing is stored or transmitted anywhere.
    Which formats can I convert to WebP?
    JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, AVIF, SVG, and existing WebP files if you want to recompress them at a different quality.
    Does it convert animated GIFs to animated WebP?
    Not yet — an animated GIF is exported as a static WebP using its first frame. Animated GIF to animated WebP requires a different encoder and is on our roadmap.
    What quality setting should I use?
    80–85 works well for photographs. Use 90 or above for screenshots and images with text. Compare the output size shown next to each file — if it is barely smaller than the original, lower the quality a notch.
    Why does my browser say WebP export is not supported?
    Canvas-based WebP encoding works natively in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera and Brave. Some Safari versions do not expose it yet — if you see this warning, use a Chromium-based browser for now.
