About JPG

JPG is a 30-year-old lossy format that every browser and editor understands. It's efficient enough for most photo use, but modern codecs like WebP compress the same picture noticeably smaller at equal quality.

About WebP

WebP is Google's image format for the web. It supports both lossy and lossless modes, plus transparency and animation. Every current browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari 14+, Edge) reads it — making it the safe default for fast-loading websites.

Why convert JPG to WebP?

Convert JPG → WebP when you're publishing to the web and want a smaller payload without a visible quality drop. Keep JPG when the target is print, email, or a very old system that doesn't speak WebP.

Frequently asked questions

At 85–95% quality, WebP typically looks identical to a JPG of the same quality — while being 25–35% smaller. Only at aggressive quality settings does WebP show its own compression artifacts.
