What is JPG to WebP conversion?
This tool converts JPG images into the WebP format, entirely in your browser with no upload. JPG (JPEG) is a lossy format without transparency that compresses photographs to a small size. It is the most universal format for camera and web photos, at the cost of losing a little quality each time it is saved. WebP is a modern web format from Google that supports both transparency and higher compression, typically 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG. It is great for speeding up websites, though a few older programs may not support it.
How to use it
