How do I convert JPG to WebP?+
Drop one or more JPG files into the tool above and WebP is already selected. Each photo is converted at its original width and height with quality 90. Move the Quality slider to make files smaller or sharper, and watch the size next to each file change. Download each WebP, or all of them as a ZIP.
Is WebP smaller than JPEG?+
Usually, at the same visual quality, which is why it's popular for websites. How much smaller depends on the photo, so the tool shows the size before and after for every file instead of promising a number. If a WebP ever comes out bigger, lower the quality a little, or keep the original JPEG for that image.
What WebP quality should I use?+
Start at the default of 90, which looks the same as the JPEG for almost every photo. For web pages, 75 to 85 is a common choice and gives noticeably smaller files. Go lower only for thumbnails or previews. You can change the slider after dropping your files, and every image is converted again straight away.
Why does the tool say my browser can't save WebP?+
Some browsers can open WebP images but can't create them, and would quietly save a PNG instead. ImgWrench checks every file it makes, so you get a clear message rather than a file with the wrong format inside. Open this page in Chrome, Edge or Firefox to convert JPEG to WebP.
Can I convert JPEG to WebP in bulk?+
Yes. Drop up to 20 JPG or JPEG files at once and each one becomes its own WebP with the quality you picked. Download them one by one, or all together as a ZIP. File names stay the same apart from the extension, so product.jpg becomes product.webp, ready to upload to your site.
What if someone can't open my WebP file?+
Current web browsers all display WebP, but some older apps and upload forms don't accept it. Keep your original JPEG for those, or turn the WebP back into a widely supported format with the WebP to PNG converter. On a website, WebP images are the better choice for faster loading.
Are my JPG files uploaded anywhere?+
No. JPG to WebP runs entirely in your browser, so your photos never leave your device and are never sent to a server. Reading, converting and zipping all happen locally on your computer or phone. You can check this yourself: open your browser's network tab while you convert, and you'll see that no image data is sent anywhere.
