Convert JPG to WebP Online
Convert JPEG images to WebP format online — smaller files, same visual quality.
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides better compression than both JPEG and PNG for most images. Converting a JPG to WebP typically reduces file size by 25–35% at comparable visual quality, making it well-suited for web use where page speed matters. WebP is supported by all modern browsers. Dockitt converts your JPG to WebP entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your file is never uploaded.
How to use
- Click 'Choose JPG' and select the JPEG image you want to convert.
- Click 'Convert to WebP' and wait while the image is processed in your browser.
- Download the WebP file.
FAQ
Is WebP better quality than JPG?
WebP can achieve the same perceived visual quality as JPEG at a smaller file size, or higher visual quality at the same file size. For the same quality level, WebP files are typically 25–35% smaller than JPEG. However, the quality difference is subtle for most photographic content and mainly becomes relevant when optimising images for web delivery.
Is WebP widely supported?
WebP is supported by all modern web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari (since version 14), and Edge. For web use, WebP is a safe choice. Some older applications and image editors may not support WebP, but native support has been added to most tools in recent years.
Will the converted WebP look the same as my JPG?
At the default quality setting used by this tool, the WebP output will look visually identical to the source JPG for most images. Minor differences may be visible in areas with fine detail when comparing at full zoom, but for typical screen or print use the images will be indistinguishable.
Can I use WebP images on my website?
Yes. WebP is well-supported across all modern browsers and is recommended for web use due to its smaller file sizes. If you need to support very old browsers (Internet Explorer), you would need a fallback image format, but this is increasingly rare in modern web development.
Does converting JPG to WebP preserve metadata like EXIF data?
This browser-based conversion uses the Canvas API, which does not preserve EXIF metadata (camera settings, GPS coordinates, date taken, etc.) from the source image. If preserving metadata is important, use a dedicated tool that explicitly handles EXIF transfer.
Is the conversion done in my browser or on a server?
The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded to any server.
