What is WebP?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google. It uses advanced compression algorithms to produce images that are significantly smaller than JPG while maintaining comparable visual quality. WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression, as well as transparency (alpha channel).
Why Switch from JPG to WebP?
- 25–35% smaller files — WebP achieves the same visual quality as JPG at a fraction of the file size.
- Faster page loads — Smaller images mean faster website loading, especially on mobile networks.
- Better SEO — Google recommends WebP in its PageSpeed Insights tool. Faster sites rank higher.
- Universal browser support — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and all modern browsers support WebP.
- Transparency support — Unlike JPG, WebP supports transparent backgrounds (like PNG but smaller).
How to Convert

Pro tip: Convert your entire image library to WebP for maximum website performance. Use JPG as a fallback only for very old browsers (pre-2020).
WebP vs JPG: Real-World Comparison
In our tests, a typical 2 MB JPG photo converts to a 1.3–1.5 MB WebP file at the same visual quality. For a website with 20 images per page, that's 10–14 MB saved per page load — a massive improvement for mobile users.
Browser Compatibility
As of 2025, WebP is supported by 97%+ of all web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (14.0+), Opera, and all Chromium-based browsers. The only browsers that don't support WebP are Internet Explorer (discontinued) and very old Safari versions.
