What is WebP Format?

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression compared to traditional formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency, and animation. WebP images are typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPEG images and 26% smaller than PNG images, making them ideal for web optimization and faster page loading times.

Conversion Modes Explained

  • Convert TO WebP: Transform JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF images into WebP format for modern web optimization. Perfect for reducing file sizes while maintaining quality.
  • Convert FROM WebP: Convert WebP images back to JPEG or PNG formats for compatibility with older systems, software, or platforms that don't support WebP.

Quality Settings Guide

  • 1-30%: Maximum compression with noticeable quality loss - suitable for thumbnails or when file size is critical
  • 31-60%: High compression with moderate quality loss - good for web images where size matters more than quality
  • 61-80%: Balanced compression with good quality - recommended for most web applications
  • 81-95%: Low compression with high quality - ideal for important images or when quality is paramount
  • 96-100%: Minimal compression with maximum quality - use when quality is more important than file size
  • Lossless: Perfect quality with no compression artifacts - larger file sizes but identical to original

Supported Image Formats

Input Formats: JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg), PNG (.png), GIF (.gif), BMP (.bmp), TIFF (.tiff, .tif), WebP (.webp)

Output Formats: WebP (.webp), JPEG (.jpg), PNG (.png)

The tool automatically detects the input format and provides appropriate conversion options based on your selected mode.

Privacy and Security

All image processing happens directly in your browser using advanced HTML5 Canvas technology and WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded to my servers, ensuring complete privacy and security. This also means faster processing times and no file size limits beyond your browser's capabilities. The metadata removal feature helps protect your privacy by stripping EXIF data from images.

Common Use Cases

  • Website Optimization: Convert images to WebP for faster loading times and better SEO performance
  • Modern Web Development: Optimize images for progressive web apps and mobile-first designs
  • Legacy Compatibility: Convert WebP images back to JPEG/PNG for older systems or software
  • Bandwidth Optimization: Reduce data usage for mobile users with smaller WebP files
  • Storage Savings: Minimize storage space usage while maintaining visual quality
  • Email Attachments: Convert to smaller WebP files or back to compatible formats for email

WebP Browser Support

WebP is supported by all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. For older browsers, you can use fallback images or convert WebP images back to JPEG/PNG using this tool. The format is widely adopted and recommended by Google for web optimization.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use quality settings between 70-85% for the best balance of size and quality
  • Enable lossless WebP for images where perfect quality is required
  • Remove metadata to reduce file size and protect privacy
  • Preserve transparency when converting images with transparent backgrounds
