JPG to WebP, explained

JPG has been the default photo format for decades, but WebP — Google's modern format for the web — compresses the same image roughly 25–35% smaller at matching quality. For a page full of photos, that adds up to faster loads and less bandwidth.

Every current browser displays WebP, so it's a safe choice for anything going online. Since your JPG has already been compressed once, keep the quality slider high (around 80–90) to avoid stacking too much loss — the result still comes out smaller than the original.

To turn a JPG into a WebP, drop your files above, set the quality, and hit Convert — everything runs in your browser, so the images never leave your device. Need to go back? WebP to JPG converts them the other way.

Frequently asked

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser handles the entire conversion locally. Nothing is sent to a server — the tool even works with Wi-Fi switched off.

Why convert JPG to WebP?

WebP files are typically 25–35% smaller than the equivalent JPG at the same visual quality, so pages load faster and use less bandwidth. It's the format Google recommends for images on the web, and it's supported by every modern browser.

Does converting to WebP lose quality?

WebP here uses lossy compression, and your JPG was already compressed once — but at the default quality of 80 the WebP is visually indistinguishable from the JPG while being smaller. Raise the slider toward 95–100 if you want to keep as much detail as possible.

Is there a limit on size or number of files?

You can convert up to 10 images at once, up to 50 MB each. The real limit is your device's available memory, not an arbitrary cap we've set.

How do I convert a JPG file to WebP?

Drag your JPG files onto the drop zone (or click Browse), set your quality, then hit Convert to WebP. Latch turns each JPG into a WebP right in your browser and lets you download them one by one or as a single zip — convert a single file or batch several at once.
