How to use it
- Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP image.
- Set the quality — 80-85% is usually indistinguishable from the original.
- Convert and check the size saving reported.
- Download the WebP file.
Why WebP
WebP typically produces files 25-35% smaller than JPEG at comparable visual quality, and unlike JPEG it supports transparency, so it can replace PNG too. Every browser in current use supports it, which makes it the pragmatic default for web images.
Picking a quality
For photographs, 80-85% is the sweet spot — the difference from the original is invisible at normal viewing size while the file shrinks substantially. Push higher only for images with hard edges, like screenshots or artwork with flat colour, where compression artefacts show up more readily.
FAQ
- Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No. Every tool here decodes and re-encodes your file using your browser's own Canvas APIs. The image never leaves your device, which is also why it works offline once the page is loaded.
- Does WebP support transparency?
- Yes. WebP handles an alpha channel, so it can replace PNG for logos and icons while staying much smaller.
- Is WebP safe to use everywhere?
- For the web, yes — all current browsers support it. Some older desktop software and a few email clients still don't, so keep a JPEG fallback if the image is going into an attachment or a print workflow.
