JPG to WEBP

A page is heavy because every photo is a JPEG. JPG to WEBP makes one WEBP in the browser at quality 0.92.

Same pixels, quality 0.92

Drop one JPG or JPEG. The canvas matches the image width and height. There is no resize and no quality slider. The encoder uses 0.92. If this browser cannot write WEBP, the conversion fails instead of saving a fake file. JPEG has no transparency to keep. One file at a time. /blog/webp-for-faster-landing-pages is about when WEBP is worth shipping, including a resize before you convert. One photo per click. A folder of JPEGs has to be done one file at a time.

Smaller is common, not promised

WEBP at 0.92 is often lighter than the JPEG, and it can also be close in size if the JPEG was already small. This job does not strip a promise about EXIF. Compress Image is the server tool that re-encodes at quality 80 and turns many formats into JPEG. WEBP to JPG goes back to JPEG at 0.92 on a white canvas. PNG to WEBP is the path when the source is a PNG, including a better chance of keeping transparency. Resize Image fits a picture inside 800 pixels wide if the pixel count is the real problem.

When WEBP is the wrong delivery

An old uploader, a kiosk, or an email client may reject WEBP. In that case keep the JPEG or use JPG to PDF for a document. HEIC to JPG is the iPhone path and does upload. This conversion does not. A file named .jpg that is not a JPEG will fail to draw. Check the preview before you replace the original on the site. If the preview never appears, the browser could not encode WEBP, and you still have the JPEG.
