Why convert to WebP?
WebP is a modern image format that supports lossy and lossless compression as well as transparency. It can reduce file size compared with some JPEG or PNG images, but the result depends on the source and chosen quality.
How to convert an image
- Select an image supported by your browser.
- Choose a quality level and review the resulting file size.
- Download the WebP file and check image detail and transparency.
WebP is not always the smallest
Already optimized source images may not shrink after conversion. Logos, screenshots, photographs, and transparent graphics behave differently, so compare the output rather than assuming conversion always saves space.
Frequently asked questions
Does this upload my image?
No. Conversion is performed in your browser using the canvas API.
Can WebP preserve transparency?
Yes. The browser canvas can export WebP with transparency when the source and browser support it.
Should I delete the original?
No. Keep the original until you have verified the converted image and confirmed that the destination supports WebP.
