WebP Converter
Turn PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, AVIF and HEIC images into WebP — usually a quarter to a third smaller with the same look. Choose lossy or pixel-perfect lossless, convert a whole batch, and keep everything on your device.
At a glance
- Converts PNG, JPG/JPEG, GIF (first frame), BMP, AVIF and HEIC images to WebP.
- Lossy WebP with a quality slider (1–100), or lossless WebP that keeps every pixel identical to the original.
- Transparency (alpha) is preserved in both modes.
- Uses the browser’s own WebP encoder where available and Google’s libwebp compiled to WebAssembly for lossless mode and for Safari.
- Google reports lossy WebP files are typically 25–34% smaller than comparable JPEGs, and lossless WebP about 26% smaller than PNG.
- Convert any number of images at once and download them individually or as a ZIP.
- Runs entirely in your browser: images are never uploaded, and metadata such as GPS location is not copied.
Step by step
How to convert images to WebP
- 1
Add your images
Drag and drop PNG, JPG, GIF or HEIC files, click to browse, or paste an image with Ctrl+V.
- 2
Pick lossy or lossless
Use Lossy for photos and set the quality (80 is a great default), or Lossless for graphics.
- 3
Check the sizes
Each image shows its original and WebP size. Adjust quality and everything re-converts automatically.
- 4
Download
Download files one by one, or click Download all for a ZIP.
Features
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
Lossy or lossless
Lossy for photos with the smallest files; lossless for logos, screenshots and graphics where every pixel must stay exact.
Works in every browser
Chrome, Edge and Firefox use their built-in encoder; Safari and lossless mode use libwebp in WebAssembly, so results are consistent everywhere.
Transparency kept
PNG and GIF transparency carries over to WebP — no white boxes behind your logos.
HEIC input too
Drop iPhone HEIC photos straight in; they are decoded in your browser and saved as WebP.
See the savings
Each file shows its size before and after, and the batch total, so you know exactly what you gained.
Batch and ZIP
Convert a whole folder of images in one go and download them as a single ZIP file.
What is WebP?
WebP is an image format created by Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation. The same picture is usually noticeably smaller as WebP than as JPG or PNG, which makes web pages load faster.
Every current browser displays WebP — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Safari on macOS Big Sur and iOS 14 or later — as do Android, Windows 10/11, macOS and most image editors.
Lossy or lossless WebP?
| Lossy WebP | Lossless WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Photos and complex images | Logos, icons, screenshots, graphics with text |
| Replaces | JPG | PNG |
| Pixels | Slightly changed (invisible at good quality) | Identical to the original |
| Typical saving | 25–34% vs JPG | About 26% vs PNG |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
When not to use WebP
- Email attachments and documents — some email clients and older Office versions still handle JPG and PNG more reliably.
- Printing — print shops usually expect JPG, PNG, TIFF or PDF.
- Very old software — Windows 7 photo viewers and old editors may not open WebP.
- Animated GIFs — this tool converts the first frame only, into a still image.
Using WebP on your website
Serve WebP to every visitor today — all modern browsers support it. If you must support very old browsers, use a <picture> element with a WebP <source> and a JPG <img> fallback. Converting your largest images to WebP is one of the quickest ways to improve Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), a Core Web Vitals metric.
