How to use the Image to WebP
- Drop your JPG, PNG or other images into the box.
- Choose a quality level. 80% gives a great size-to-quality balance.
- Download the WebP files, or all of them as a ZIP.
Why use WebP?
WebP images are typically 25–35% smaller than JPEGs and up to 80% smaller than PNGs at similar visual quality. Smaller images mean faster page loads, better Core Web Vitals scores and potentially higher Google rankings. That's why Google PageSpeed Insights recommends "Serve images in next-gen formats".
WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression as well as transparency, so it can replace both JPG and PNG on your website. It is supported by all modern browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.
Using WebP on WordPress and other sites
WordPress has supported WebP uploads since version 5.8, and most modern CMSs and site builders accept WebP directly. Convert your images here before uploading and you won't need an image-optimisation plugin.
