JPG to WebP Converter

JPG to WebP Conversion - How It Works

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior **lossy and lossless compression** for images on the web. Using this tool, you can convert your standard JPEG (JPG) images to WebP to reduce file size without a noticeable drop in quality, leading to faster website loading times and better performance.

The conversion is done entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the HTML Canvas API. This means your images are never sent to a server, ensuring your data remains private and secure.

How to Use the JPG to WebP Converter:

1. **Drag & Drop** your JPG image into the designated area, or **click** to browse and select a file.
2. The "Convert to WebP" button will become active once your image is loaded.
3. Click the "Convert to WebP" button to start the conversion process.
4. The converted WebP image will appear in the output box on the right.
5. Click "Download WebP" to save the new, optimized image to your device.

Why Convert JPG to WebP?

• **Superior Compression:** WebP generally provides a much smaller file size than JPG without sacrificing visual quality.
• **Lossy & Lossless Support:** WebP can use both lossy compression (like JPG) and lossless compression (like PNG), making it a versatile format.
• **Alpha Transparency:** Unlike JPG, WebP supports transparency, making it a great replacement for both JPG and PNG images.
• **Faster Websites:** Smaller image file sizes mean faster load times, which improves user experience and can boost SEO rankings.
