Will switching my site images to WebP improve page speed?

Yes. WebP files are typically 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same quality, so pages load faster and your Core Web Vitals (LCP) improve.

Do all browsers support WebP?

Every modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 14+) displays WebP. For very old browsers, keep a JPG fallback or use a element. In practice well over 95% of web traffic already supports WebP, so a fallback is rarely needed today.

Is WebP lossy or lossless?

WebP supports both. This converter uses lossy WebP for the best size savings, which is the right choice for photos and most web images. If you need a pixel-perfect copy — a graphic with sharp edges or text — choose lossless WebP instead, and it is still smaller than PNG.

Can I batch convert a whole folder of JPGs to WebP?

Yes. Drop all your JPG files in together and click Convert — they are processed as a batch with no limit on file count, which is handy when migrating a whole image library to WebP.

Will I need a fallback image for old browsers?

Only for very old browsers. If your audience includes legacy browsers, serve WebP inside a element with a JPG fallback so unsupported browsers still get an image.

Will the WebP look different from my JPG?

No visible difference at the default quality. WebP re-encodes the photo once, but at typical web quality the result is indistinguishable from the JPG on screen — you simply get a smaller file that loads faster.

Does converting a JPG to WebP add transparency?

No. A JPG has no transparent areas, so the WebP has none either — conversion cannot invent transparency that was never in the source. WebP does support transparency, but only when the original already has it, such as a PNG.

About JPG and WEBP

Key things to know before you convert JPG to WEBP:

JPG

JPG (JPEG) has been the default photo format since 1992. Lossy compression keeps photographs small, and literally every device and program can open it. It does not support transparency or animation, and every re-save loses a little quality.

WEBP

WebP is Google's web image format: ~25-35% smaller than JPG at the same quality, with support for transparency and animation. All modern browsers display it; some older software still does not.
