Free JPG to WebP Converter

How to convert JPG to WebP

1. Drop your JPG or JPEG photos onto the box above, or click Choose files.
2. Pick a quality. 85 is the default; for large hero images you can often go down to 75 without visible change.
3. Click Convert to WebP. The list shows the new size of each file next to the original.
4. Download the WebP files one by one or as a ZIP, and upload them to your site.

Is WebP better than JPG for websites?

Usually, yes. Google, which created WebP, reports lossy WebP files around a quarter to a third smaller than JPEGs of comparable quality, and the exact saving depends on the photo and the settings. Smaller images make pages load faster, especially on phones, and image weight is one of the factors behind the Largest Contentful Paint metric that Google uses in Core Web Vitals.

Every current major browser displays WebP, so you can serve it on a website without a fallback for most visitors. Many content management systems and image CDNs also accept WebP uploads directly.

Converting an already compressed photo

A JPG has already been through lossy compression once. Converting it to WebP compresses it a second time, so set the quality a little higher than you would for an original from the camera, and look at fine textures such as hair, grass or fabric after converting. If you still have the original high-quality files, convert those instead.

Keep the JPG originals. WebP is great for delivery on the web, but JPG remains the format that every app, printer and email client understands.

Supported files and limitations

• Accepts JPG files. The format is checked from the file's contents, not only its extension.
• Up to 30 files at a time, 50 MB each.
• Images up to 50 megapixels and 16,384 pixels on the longest side. A decoded image needs about 4 bytes of memory per pixel, so a 50-megapixel photo takes around 200 MB while it is processed.
• Files are processed one at a time in a background thread, so the page stays responsive.

Creating WebP files needs a browser with a WebP encoder. Chrome, Edge and Firefox have one; Safari has historically lacked it. The converter checks this and tells you instead of saving a file in the wrong format.

The camera's orientation tag is applied, so photos stay upright. Other EXIF data, including GPS location and camera details, is not copied, and color profiles are converted to sRGB.

Privacy and security

Your files are opened and processed by your own browser. The ExeDepot server only delivers this page and its scripts; it never receives your files, their contents or their names. The page loads no third-party scripts or ads, and its Content Security Policy allows connections only back to exedepot.com.

Results exist only in your browser's memory until you download them, and they are discarded when you click Convert more files or close the tab. No online tool can promise perfect security, so keep your browser up to date, and for documents you would never put online consider an offline desktop app such as Caesium Image Compressor.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller is WebP than JPG?

It varies by photo. Google's own comparison found lossy WebP files about 25–34% smaller than JPEGs of similar quality. The list shows the exact result for each of your files.

Will my photos lose quality?

WebP is lossy here, like JPG. At the default quality of 85 the difference is usually hard to see; check detailed areas if you go lower.

Can WordPress and other sites use WebP?

Most modern site builders and content management systems accept WebP images. Check your platform's media settings if an upload is rejected.

Does the converter keep EXIF data?

No. Only the pixels are saved, so camera data and GPS location are removed. The photo's rotation is applied before saving.

Is anything uploaded to ExeDepot?

No. The photos are converted by your browser and stay on your device.
