Will converting to WebP make my image look worse?

WebP is a lossy format like JPEG, but you control the quality. At 80-90% quality, most people can't tell the difference. Lower quality makes smaller files.

How much smaller will my image get?

WebP typically saves 25-35% over JPEG and PNG at the same visual quality. Screenshots and graphics shrink a lot; photos less so.

What about transparency?

WebP supports transparency (alpha channel) just like PNG. Your PNG with transparent backgrounds will keep that transparency.

Can I convert JPEG to WebP?

Yes! WebP works great for photos too. It often compresses better than JPEG at the same quality.

Convert an image to WebP online without losing quality

A PNG or JPEG that is "fine on your computer" can still be huge in an email or a web upload. Convert to WebP to make the file smaller, without turning it into a blurry JPEG.

How to convert an image to WebP

Upload a PNG, JPEG, or TIFF image (up to 50 MB).
Pick the quality setting (80 is a good default).
Press Convert file and download the WebP result.

Smaller file makes a WebP with slightly lower quality but much smaller size. Better quality keeps more detail for a larger file.

What you get

You get a WebP image. Same width and height. Same transparency. Usually a smaller number of bytes, which is what you want before you attach it or put it on a site.

When this helps

Web performance (faster page loads)
Email attachments (stay under size limits)
Mobile bandwidth savings
SEO (page speed is a ranking factor)

It will not edit or resize your image. If you need that, use an image editor first.
