WEBP vs JPEG

Use the original and a downloaded sample to judge the tradeoff. There is no fixed compression saving that applies to every image.

WEBP

WebP can be useful for web delivery and supports transparency. The WebP format can store animation, but this tool exports one still frame from animated inputs; animation is not preserved. This tool passes a quality value to the browser encoder. A quality setting of 100 does not guarantee lossless WebP output; download and inspect the result.

JPEG

JPEG is useful for photographs and workflows that require JPG. It uses lossy encoding and cannot retain transparency; transparent areas are exported on white.

How to decide

JPEG remains useful when an upload form or older application requires it. WebP can be useful for web delivery and transparency. Compare actual output sizes and visible artifacts instead of assuming one is always smaller.

Browser support and limits

Inputs must be readable by your browser. PNG, JPEG and WebP are common output choices; AVIF encoding depends on the browser. GIF, BMP and ICO output are not provided by the native encoder used here. Exports over 16,384 pixels per side or 80 million pixels are rejected; device memory can impose lower practical limits. There is no daily conversion quota.
