What is WebP?

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression for images on the web. WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPEG or PNG files while maintaining visual quality.

Understanding the Formats

PNG

Lossless format with transparency support. Ideal for graphics, logos, and screenshots. Larger file sizes.

JPG/JPEG

Lossy format optimized for photographs. Smaller file sizes but no transparency. Quality degrades with compression.

WebP

Modern format supporting both lossy and lossless compression, plus transparency. Best of both worlds for web use.

When to Use WebP

Website images for faster page loads
E-commerce product photos
Social media content
App assets to reduce download size

Limitations

Some older browsers may not support WebP (check caniuse.com)
Maximum file size: 50 MB
WebP is always the output format regardless of input

Frequently Asked Questions

What quality setting should I use?

80% is a good default — it gives excellent visual quality with significant file size reduction. For web photos, 75-85% is ideal. For graphics with text, use 90%+ to preserve sharpness.

How much smaller are WebP files?

WebP typically achieves 25-35% smaller file sizes compared to JPEG at similar quality levels. PNG images often see even larger reductions when converted to lossy WebP.

Does WebP support transparency?

Yes! WebP supports alpha channel transparency just like PNG. When converting a transparent PNG, the transparency is preserved in the WebP output.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. No data is sent to any server.
