How to convert an image to WebP in your browser

Pick a PNG or JPG, convert it locally and download a smaller WebP for your site or listing.

  1. Choose the image

    Select a PNG, JPG or WebP file from your device. Nothing is uploaded; the file is read inside the browser tab.

  2. Pick the target format

    Leave the target on WebP for the smallest file, or switch to JPG or PNG when an older app or marketplace does not accept WebP.

  3. Convert and compare sizes

    Press the convert button. The original and output sizes are shown side by side so you can see how much the file shrank.

  4. Download the result

    Save the converted file before closing the tab. The converted image is not stored anywhere else.

WebP converter questions

  1. 1

    Is my image uploaded to a server?

    No. The conversion runs in your browser with the canvas API, so the image stays on your device and no account is needed.

  2. 2

    Can I set the WebP quality?

    Not in this tool. Lossy outputs (WebP and JPG) are written at a fixed 90% quality, which keeps photos sharp while cutting file size; PNG output is lossless.

  3. 3

    Does WebP keep transparency from a PNG?

    Yes. A transparent PNG converted to WebP keeps its alpha channel. JPG has no transparency, so converting to JPG flattens transparent areas into a solid colour.

  4. 4

    Why is my WebP sometimes larger than the PNG?

    Small flat-colour graphics already compress well as PNG, so a lossy WebP at fixed quality can come out the same size or larger. Compare the two sizes shown before you download.

  5. 5

    Can I convert WebP back to PNG or JPG?

    Yes. Choose WebP as the source file and PNG or JPG as the target format when an app does not accept WebP.

  6. 6

    Why convert PNG to WebP?

    WebP is Google’s modern image format built for the web. Google reports lossless WebP is 26% smaller than PNG, and its lossy mode compresses further still. This tool writes lossy WebP at 90% quality, so most photos come out noticeably smaller than the PNG you started with, making pages load faster.

Quick tips

  • Use WEBP for smaller web images.
  • Export WebP to JPG when an older app or marketplace does not accept WebP.
