## About

Make a lighter WebP copy of any JPG photo — typically a quarter smaller at the same visual quality — right in your browser.

## Quick answer

How do I convert a JPG to WebP? Add the photo, keep quality around 85%, and download the WebP. The original JPG stays untouched and nothing is uploaded.

## How to convert JPG to WebP

1. **Add your JPG** — a photo, screenshot, or export.
2. **Pick the quality** — 75–85% is the sweet spot for websites; above 90% gains little.
3. **Download the WebP** — typically 25–35% smaller than the JPG at the same look.

## Where WebP pays off

- Website and app images that need to load fast
- Photo galleries and product shots where every KB counts
- Storage cleanup when you keep both formats side by side

## Good to know

The stats above show the WebP size right next to the dimensions, so compare before you commit. If a portal needs an exact size limit, finish with the [target-size compressor](https://toolpantry.app/compress-image-to-100kb.html). Need the reverse direction? That's [WebP to JPG](https://toolpantry.app/webp-to-jpg.html).

## Notes

WebP is the modern default for web images. Some older desktop apps still can't open it — keep the JPG when in doubt. The original remains unchanged.
