Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I convert JPG to WebP?

WebP format provides 25-35% smaller file sizes compared to JPG while maintaining or improving quality. This means faster website loading, better user experience, improved SEO rankings, and reduced bandwidth costs. Perfect for modern web development.

Will image quality be affected?

No! We use 90% WebP quality which provides excellent visual quality while significantly reducing file size. WebP's advanced compression algorithms often produce better-looking images than JPG at the same file size.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No! All image conversions happen locally in your browser using HTML5 Canvas technology. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security. This also makes the conversion instant.

Is WebP supported by all browsers?

Yes! All modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari 14+, Edge, and Opera fully support WebP. Mobile browsers also support WebP. Only very old browsers (IE11 and earlier) don't support it.

How much smaller will my WebP files be?

WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent quality JPG files. For example, a 1MB JPG photo might become a 650-750KB WebP file with the same or better visual quality. This can significantly improve website performance.

What file size limits are there?

The converter handles images up to 50MB and dimensions up to 16,384 pixels. This covers virtually all JPG images. Processing happens instantly in your browser. You might also check our WebP to JPG converter for the reverse conversion.
