Convert to WEBP online free

WEBP is Google's modern image format: files up to 35% smaller than JPG, up to 50% smaller than PNG, with the same visual quality. Works on every modern browser and supports transparency. With TinyFoto, you convert JPG and PNG to WEBP right in your browser, with no signup and no upload.

How to convert to WEBP with TinyFoto

1. Open the main page
2. Drag your JPG or PNG files (up to 30 at once)
3. In "Format", pick "Convert to WEBP"
4. Choose your compression level
5. Download the converted WEBP files

Why use WEBP?

• Faster sites: smaller files = pages that load quicker
• Better SEO: Google PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals reward optimized images
• Supports transparency: like PNG, but much smaller files
• Compatible: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — every modern browser displays WEBP natively

When NOT to use WEBP

• Very old systems: Internet Explorer and old iOS/macOS versions don't display WEBP. Keep JPG/PNG for those cases.
• Legacy enterprise environments: some CMSes or internal platforms only accept JPG/PNG.
• Professional printing: prefer the original format (usually JPG or TIFF).

How much space do I save?

• JPG → WEBP: 25% to 35% smaller, equivalent quality
• PNG → WEBP (with transparency): 40% to 60% smaller
• PNG → WEBP (no transparency): 60% to 80% smaller

Can I convert a whole batch?

Yes. Pick up to 30 mixed files (JPG + PNG) and TinyFoto converts them all to WEBP at once.

WEBP on WordPress, Shopify and other platforms

WordPress has supported WEBP uploads natively since version 5.8. If you're on an older version or a theme that doesn't support it, plugins like Imagify, ShortPixel or WebP Express handle automatic conversion at upload time.

On Shopify, WEBP is served automatically when the visitor uses a compatible browser — you don't need to convert manually. Wix, Squarespace and Webflow behave similarly: the platform manages conversion internally. For plain HTML sites or custom systems, TinyFoto is the simplest way to prepare images before uploading: convert to WEBP and upload normally.

Does WEBP support animation?

Yes. WEBP supports animation similarly to GIF, but with much smaller files and far better quality. A typical animated GIF can be replaced by an animated WEBP at 50%–80% less size and with full color depth (GIF is limited to 256 colors). However, TinyFoto works with static images — for converting animated GIFs to WEBP, a dedicated tool is needed.

WEBP vs. JPG: when the difference really matters

In everyday use — viewing a photo on a screen — the difference between WEBP and JPG is imperceptible to most people. WEBP's advantage shows in performance:

• Image-heavy websites: a gallery with 20 WEBP images instead of JPG can load 25–35% faster.
• Online stores: product pages with WEBP images score better on Core Web Vitals, which directly influences Google ranking.
• Mobile on slow connections: smaller images are the difference between a page loading in 2 seconds and one loading in 5.

For personal use — sharing photos, storing, sending via WhatsApp — JPG is still more practical due to universal compatibility. For web publishing, WEBP is the smarter choice.
