About WebP Converter

What is WebP?

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, making it ideal for web use where file size and loading speed are critical factors. WebP images are typically 25-35% smaller than their JPEG equivalents while maintaining the same visual quality.

Why Convert to WebP?

Converting your images to WebP format offers several advantages:

How to Use This WebP Converter

Our free online WebP converter makes it easy to convert images between formats:

  1. Drag and drop your images into the upload area, or click to select files from your computer
  2. Choose your desired output format (WebP, PNG, or JPEG)
  3. Adjust the quality slider to control compression (higher values = better quality but larger files)
  4. Click "Convert Images" to process your files
  5. Preview the before and after images with file size comparison
  6. Download individual files or all files as a ZIP archive

Batch Conversion

This converter supports batch processing, allowing you to convert multiple images at once. Simply select multiple files and they will all be converted using the same settings. This is perfect for optimizing entire image libraries for your website.

Quality Control

The quality slider lets you fine-tune the compression level for lossy formats like WebP and JPEG. Lower values create smaller files but may reduce image quality, while higher values preserve more detail but result in larger files. For most web use, a quality setting of 75-85 provides an excellent balance between file size and visual quality.

Browser Compatibility

WebP is supported by all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari (iOS 14+). For older browsers, you can use PNG or JPEG as fallback formats. Many websites use the HTML picture element to serve WebP to modern browsers while providing JPEG/PNG fallbacks for older browsers.
