How to convert JPG to WebP
- 1
Upload the JPG.
- 2
The image is re-encoded as WebP at quality 85, at the highest compression effort.
- 3

Notes on this conversion
WebP is written at quality 85 using compression method 6 — the slowest and most thorough setting the encoder offers, which buys a smaller file at the same quality in exchange for a little time. It is worth being plain about what this conversion is. A JPG is already lossy, and WebP at quality 85 is lossy too, so the result is a second generation rather than a faithful copy of the original capture. For photographs the difference is usually invisible. For screenshots, line art, and anything with hard edges against flat colour, a second lossy pass is exactly where ringing starts to appear along the edges. Set quality to 100 if you need WebP without a further loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting to WebP lose quality?
A little. Quality 85 is a lossy setting applied to a JPG that was already lossy, so this is a second generation. Photographs usually survive it unnoticed; flat colour and text inside an image are where it shows.
Can I get lossless WebP instead?
Yes. Setting quality to 100 switches the encoder into lossless mode, which keeps every pixel exactly. The file is larger than a lossy WebP would be.
Why does the conversion take a moment?
The encoder runs at compression method 6, its highest effort setting. It spends longer searching for a smaller encoding, which is most of the reason to move to WebP at all.
