WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides better compression than traditional formats like JPG. By converting JPG images to WebP, you can significantly reduce image file sizes while maintaining high visual quality — resulting in faster-loading websites and improved performance across all devices.

This conversion is especially beneficial for web developers, content creators, and SEO professionals looking to boost site speed, improve Core Web Vitals, and reduce server load without compromising user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is WebP really better than JPG?
Yes — WebP offers superior compression, which means smaller file sizes with the same (or better) quality. It’s also better optimized for web use.

Can I use WebP images on my WordPress site?
Absolutely. WordPress has supported WebP images natively since version 5.8. You can upload and use WebP just like JPG or PNG files.

Does this tool reduce quality?
No. The compression used is visually lossless in most cases. You’ll maintain excellent image quality with significantly smaller file sizes.

What does “lossless” mean in image conversion?
Lossless compression means that the image is compressed without removing any visual data. The quality remains identical to the original file, even though the file size is smaller. In contrast, “lossy” compression reduces file size by removing some image data, which can slightly affect visual quality. This tool is optimized to use visually lossless compression, ensuring your WebP images look just as good as the original JPGs in most cases.
