WebP Image Converter

Convert images to WebP to optimize website speed.

Why Convert Images to WebP?

In the world of web performance, every kilobyte counts. Large image files are the #1 culprit for slow-loading websites, which frustrates users and hurts SEO rankings. WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that solves this problem. It provides superior compression compared to older formats like JPEG and PNG, without significantly sacrificing quality.

Our WebP Image Converter allows you to easily transform your existing images into this optimized format, helping your website load faster and score higher on Core Web Vitals.

Benefits of WebP

  • Smaller File Sizes: WebP images are typically 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG and PNG files. This means faster downloads and less data usage for your visitors.
  • High Quality: WebP supports both lossy and lossless compression, as well as transparency (alpha channel), making it a versatile replacement for both JPG and PNG.
  • SEO Boost: Google explicitly favors fast-loading sites. Using next-gen formats like WebP is a recommended practice in PageSpeed Insights.
  • Broad Support: All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) fully support WebP.
