JPG to WebP Online Tool Description
You might have noticed that most of the images on your phone are in JPG format, while many images on web pages are in WebP format. Now you might be thinking, if both formats can coexist, why do we need to choose one over the other? The following discussion will help clear your doubts. While JPG images are known for being lightweight and delivering clear visuals, WebP images are even lighter than them while maintaining almost the same visual quality. Additionally, WebP supports animation. These advantages make WebP a smart choice for use on web pages.

JPG images are good for everyday use, but WebP works even better for web usage as it takes up much less storage. Our JPG to WebP converter can help you with this. We created this tool to help you convert your JPG images into WebP quickly.
