How to use the WebP Converter
Choose a JPG or PNG up to 25 MB, set the quality and download the WebP. Around 75 to 85 is a good balance for photos on websites.
Why use WebP
WebP usually produces smaller files than JPG or PNG at similar visual quality. Smaller images mean faster pages, which helps visitors on mobile data and counts towards Core Web Vitals. Every modern browser supports WebP, so it is a safe default for images on your own site.
Transparency and limits
Unlike JPG, WebP supports transparency, so PNG logos with see-through backgrounds keep them. Animated GIFs are not converted, only the first frame would be. Keep your original files, because some older desktop apps and print services still expect JPG or PNG.

Limitations and assumptions
