Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to a server?+
No. Conversion happens entirely inside your browser and your photo is never sent anywhere.
Does WEBP open everywhere?+
All modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) and current OS versions open it. Very old software may not — for formal submissions, JPG remains the safe pick.
Does converting JPG to PNG improve the quality?+
No. Detail already lost to JPG compression does not come back. Converting to PNG only stops it degrading further, at a larger file size. It is worth doing when you plan to edit and re-save the image repeatedly.
Is there a file size limit?+
No server limits. Smartphone photos are effortless, and desktops handle files up to tens of MB.
Is it really free?+
Yes. No sign-up, no payment, no conversion limits and no watermark.
Can I pick a different output format?+
Yes — on the converter you can switch the output between JPG, PNG and WebP.
Guide
Why convert JPG to WEBP?
WEBP (WebP) was built for the web: 25–35% smaller than JPG and far smaller than PNG at the same quality, it's the best choice for images going onto websites, blogs and online shops.
Lighter pages load faster, and WEBP is the format Google recommends — good for your search rankings too. Every modern browser supports it.
Where do JPG files come from?
JPG (JPEG) has been the common language of photography since the standard landed in 1992. Digital cameras, Android phones and iPhones set to 'Most Compatible' all save JPG, and effectively every program and service can read it.
Its weaknesses are lossy compression and no transparency. Quality erodes a little each time a file is opened and re-saved, backgrounds cannot be transparent, and screenshots full of text and lines come out with messy edges — which is when people move to PNG or WebP.
What happens to quality and size?
Encoded at a high quality setting, it's hard to distinguish from the JPG original on screen — and transparency is preserved.
Size drops noticeably compared to JPG — for photos, and even more so for transparent graphics compared to PNG.
