Why Convert JPG to WebP?
Smaller file sizes
Google developed WebP specifically to provide better compression than JPG and PNG for web delivery. A JPG photograph that is 1 MB will typically convert to a WebP of about 650–750 KB at the same perceptual quality. This directly reduces page load times and bandwidth costs.
Google PageSpeed Insights recommendation
Google's PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse audits actively recommend serving images in WebP format (or AVIF) rather than JPG or PNG. Converting your site's JPG images to WebP can improve your performance score and, consequently, your search ranking.
Better quality at the same file size
At the same file size, WebP produces visually better results than JPG. WebP's compression algorithm is more sophisticated, creating fewer artefacts around edges and high-contrast areas that are typical of heavily compressed JPGs.
WebP Browser Support
WebP is supported by all major modern browsers with a global user coverage of over 96%:
- Google Chrome 32+ (since 2014)
- Mozilla Firefox 65+ (since 2019)
- Apple Safari 14+ (since 2020)
- Microsoft Edge 18+ (since 2019)
For the small percentage of users on older browsers, you can use the HTML
<picture> element with a JPG fallback, which browsers will use
automatically if they don't support WebP.
