Why convert images to WebP?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that produces files 25–35% smaller than JPG and PNG at the same visual quality. Every major browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — has supported WebP since 2020, making it the best choice for web images today.
PNG to WebP
PNG files are lossless and often large. Converting to WebP significantly reduces file size while preserving full transparency support — unlike JPG, WebP keeps the alpha channel intact.
JPG to WebP
For photos and complex images currently saved as JPG, converting to WebP at 80–85% quality produces a noticeably smaller file with no perceptible quality difference. Faster page loads, better Core Web Vitals scores.
What quality should I use?
85% (default) is a safe choice for almost every image — high quality with meaningful file size reduction. 75% is the sweet spot for maximum compression on photos. Go above 90% only when pixel-perfect accuracy matters.
