JPG to WebP Converter

This tool turns a JPG file into a WebP file. Drop an image onto the upload zone or click it to browse your device, and a preview appears once the file has been decoded. Alongside the convert button you'll find a quality slider to balance file size against visual fidelity. Nothing leaves your device: the file is read locally, converted locally, and the download link points at data held only in this browser tab.

Under the hood, the source file is decoded onto an HTML canvas element using the browser's own image loader — JPEG decodes natively in every modern browser. Those pixels then land on an HTML canvas, from which they are re-encoded as WebP. The canvas API writes this out directly as a WebP blob at the quality you set, when the browser supports it.

As with any browser-based converter there are limits worth knowing. On the input side, very few files fail to decode, though CMYK JPEGs from some print workflows can render with shifted colours. On the output side, Not every browser build supports WebP encoding through the canvas API; if yours does not, the tool tells you instead of producing a broken file.
