Drop one or many images · automatic bulk mode for multiple files
Bulk supported. Drop multiple files and they'll be processed in a queue with a single ZIP download. Same settings apply to every file.
How to use
01
Load your JPG photos
Drag the .jpg or .jpeg files you want to re-encode into the drop zone. Ten photos or two hundred, the tool shifts into bulk mode on its own with no setting to flip.
02
Dial in WEBP quality
WEBP sits preselected as the export target. Use the High, Medium, or Low preset, or open Advanced fine-tune for a precise percentage. High at 92% is the default and a safe start.
03
Convert and measure the savings
Click Convert to WEBP. Each image reports its input and output size side by side, and multi-file jobs arrive packaged as converted-webp.zip for easy deployment.
Why JPG to WEBP
- Export to any format: WEBP, JPG or PNG, not just one pair.
- Before/after preview with exact size for each image.
- Single image or hundreds, automatic bulk mode.
- 100% client-side. Files never leave your browser.
Common questions
How much smaller will my JPGs get as WEBP?
Plan on 25 to 35 percent at comparable quality, sometimes more for smooth, low-detail photos. Busy textures like foliage or fabric compress less dramatically. The per-file size readout tells you the real number for your images.
Do browsers still struggle with WEBP in 2026?
Not the ones people actually use. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari have all handled WEBP since 2020. The stragglers are old embedded webviews and some email clients, so keep JPGs around if you send image-heavy newsletters.
Does converting JPG twice hurt the WEBP output?
Every lossy re-encode stacks a little damage, since your JPG was already compressed once. At High quality the second generation is visually negligible. Avoid bouncing between the two lossy formats repeatedly, though, because the damage compounds.
Should I use the Low preset for gallery thumbnails in WEBP?
It's a reasonable call for small thumbnails, where 50% quality artifacts are hard to spot at 200 pixels wide. For full-size lightbox images, stick with Medium or High so zoomed views hold up.
Can I convert a whole photo shoot from JPG in one session?
Yes, drop the entire folder in. Files process sequentially in the browser and download as one ZIP, so a 300-image shoot needs one drag and one click, not three hundred.
Is metadata kept when a JPG is re-encoded as WEBP?
No, the canvas pipeline drops EXIF, ICC profiles, and copyright fields. That's usually a feature for web publishing, since GPS data shouldn't ship to visitors anyway, but export your catalog data separately if you need it.
What if I need PNG output instead of WEBP here?
Switch the Export format control to PNG before converting. The quality presets vanish because PNG is lossless, and the batch downloads with .png extensions. The jpg to webp converter shares one engine across all three targets.
