Convert camera JPEGs to WebP: smaller pages, same picture

Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 24 Oct 2026.

JPEG to WebP is not free, but the bill is short. You come for roughly a quarter off the file size at the same visible quality, transparency included, since JPEG keeps no transparency at all and drops a little more detail every time the file is saved again. WebP is lossy, so a little detail is thrown away. Once this page has loaded it works offline, so a slow connection costs you nothing.

Next:
  • Resize the image Resize by pixels or percent, with presets for passport photos and social media
  • Put it in a PDF Turn photos into a PDF, one per page or several per page
  • Crop the image Drag a box, pick a shape like 1:1 or passport, or type exact pixels

How to convert JPG to WebP

1

Choose the JPG photos you want lighter for a website; WebP is already set under Convert to.

2

Set the Quality slider, which starts at 85; WebP is lossy, so a little detail is thrown away.

3

If WebP is greyed out, this browser cannot write it; Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 16 or later can.

4

Press Convert to WebP and Download the files, each named after the original with a .webp ending.

How JPG to WebP works

Convert Image reads ten formats and writes seven. It opens JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, ICO, SVG and HEIC, and saves as JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF or ICO. Drop up to twenty files in and each row shows the new size beside the old one as it finishes.

The file is identified by its first bytes, never by its name, so a HEIC photo renamed .jpg is still recognised as a HEIC and the page says so before converting it. What it finds is spelled out: "a TIFF image, 3 pages", "a GIF image, 12 frames", "an ICO image, 3 sizes up to 48 px". The target format is already chosen for you, either by the page you arrived on or by what people most often want that format turned into, so the only thing left to do is confirm.

What a conversion costs is stated before it runs, not after the download. JPEG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a colour you pick, white by default. BMP is the same. A multi-page TIFF gives you one file per page by default; an animated GIF or WebP keeps its first frame by default, with every frame available on browsers that can read them. An ICO is written as a genuine icon file holding 16, 32, 48, 64, 128 and 256 pixel versions, each stored as a PNG.

The rest of the article, and all 8 questions about Convert Image, are on the Convert Image page.

Frequently asked questions

Which formats can I convert between?

Reading works for JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, ICO, SVG and HEIC; writing works for JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF and ICO. That is every pair those two lists allow, about sixty of them, and each pair has its own page with the target format already chosen for you.

What happens to an animated GIF or WebP?

Frames are counted the moment the file is dropped, and the first one is kept by default, because a still is what people usually want. Chrome and Edge can read every frame, and there the choice 'All 12 frames' gives you one file per frame. Other browsers can only read the first, and the page says so rather than pretending.

Can I convert a photo to SVG, or open a RAW or PSD file?

Not here, and the page says so up front. Tracing pixels into shapes is a different job, done by Image to SVG on this site, and PSD files are now opened by PSD to PNG, which saves the picture and each layer. Camera RAW differs by manufacturer and needs a decoder too large for a browser; export a JPEG or TIFF first.

Does it trust the file extension?

Never. Every file is identified from its first bytes. If the name and the bytes disagree the page says so once, in plain words, and carries on with the truth: a HEIC named .jpg is still treated as a HEIC.
