Why convert JPG to WEBP?
WEBP was designed by Google to deliver the same visual quality as JPG in noticeably smaller files. Converting your JPG photos to WEBP is a simple win for any website: smaller images load faster on phones and slow connections, use less bandwidth and help your pages feel snappier.
- You are optimizing photos for a website, blog or online shop.
- Your hosting or CDN plan charges for bandwidth and you want lighter images.
- A performance tool suggests using modern image formats.
How much smaller will my photos get?
It depends on how the JPG was saved in the first place. We converted three 12-megapixel photos with the exact settings this page uses. Resized to 1600 pixels wide, a typical size for a blog or shop, the WEBP files were 22% to 40% smaller than the JPGs. At full camera size the savings were smaller, from 26% down to none: one photo that was already heavily compressed came out 8% larger as WEBP.
So WEBP is not magic. The biggest wins come from photos that are first resized to the size your page really shows. If a WEBP comes out larger than the JPG, keep the JPG.
JPG or WEBP: which one should you use where?
- Website, blog or online shop: WEBP. Every current browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) shows it, and lighter images help pages load faster.
- Sending photos to people by email or chat: JPG. Some older apps and devices still cannot open WEBP.
- Printing at a shop or kiosk: JPG. Many printing services accept only JPG or PNG.
- Keeping your originals: keep the JPG files from your camera or phone and create WEBP copies for publishing.
Tips for the best result
- We use quality 85, a good point where photos look the same to the eye but files are smaller.
- Keep your original JPGs; use the WEBP versions for publishing online.
- For sharing photos with friends by chat or email, JPG is still the safest choice because every device opens it.
About these formats
JPG: The most common photo format. It uses compression to keep files small, and it opens everywhere, but it does not support transparency.
WEBP: A modern image format from Google. It makes files much smaller than JPG or PNG, but some older apps and websites still cannot open it.
Frequently asked questions
Is WEBP better than JPG?
For websites, usually yes: similar quality in a smaller file. For sharing with people, JPG is more universally supported.
Will my photos look different?
At quality 85 the difference is typically invisible at normal viewing size.
Can I convert many JPGs at once?
Yes, up to 20 files per batch, 200 MB each.
Why did my WEBP come out bigger than the JPG?
The JPG was probably already strongly compressed. Converting it again at quality 85 cannot make it much smaller and can even add a little. In that case, publish the JPG or resize the photo first.
Does converting to WEBP remove the camera rotation problem?
Yes. Phone photos are turned upright using their orientation tag before saving, so the WEBP shows the right way up everywhere.
