How to Use the WebP Converter
Choose "Convert to WebP" to turn JPG, PNG, GIF, or BMP images into WebP, or "Convert from WebP" to turn a WebP file into JPG or PNG. You can upload several files at once — they'll be processed one by one, each with its own preview and download button. Everything happens locally in your browser, so your images stay private.

1. What Is WebP and Why Use It
WebP is Google's next-generation image format, delivering files 25-35% smaller than JPEG and up to 26% smaller than PNG at equivalent visual quality. Smaller files mean faster page loads, lower mobile data usage, and reduced server bandwidth costs. WebP supports both lossy compression (great for photos) and lossless compression (great for transparent graphics), effectively replacing the need for separate JPEG and PNG workflows. Every modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari — natively decodes and encodes WebP, so adopting it today comes with virtually no compatibility risk.

2. Choosing a Conversion Direction
Use Convert to WebP when you want to shrink an image before uploading it to your site — it works on photos (JPG), transparent graphics (PNG), GIFs, and BMPs alike. Use Convert from WebP when you need to hand a WebP image to a program that doesn't understand the format yet — word processors, older image viewers, or some print workflows. Export photographic images as JPG, and export logos or icons that need a transparent background as PNG.

3. The Limitation with Animated WebP
This tool runs 100% in your browser using the Canvas API, which introduces one important limitation for animated WebP files. Browser APIs like drawImage and createImageBitmap always draw only the first frame of an animated source, so uploading an animated WebP will only convert that single static frame. Converting a full animation to another animated format (like GIF) requires a server-side tool (e.g. ffmpeg); this tool intentionally stays 100% client-side for privacy, so that feature isn't supported here.
No. All conversion happens entirely through your browser's Canvas API — the image file is never uploaded or transmitted anywhere. It works completely offline once the page has loaded.
Does this preserve animated WebP animation?
No. This tool decodes images via the browser's canvas, which always draws only the first frame of an animated source. Converting an animated WebP will produce a single still image with the animation removed. A full animation-preserving conversion requires a separate server-side tool.
Does every browser support saving as WebP?
Reading (decoding) WebP files is supported in virtually every modern browser. Writing (encoding) WebP via canvas.toBlob is also broadly supported — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 14+. If an older browser can't encode a format, the tool detects this and shows an error for that file instead of failing silently.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes. Select or drag & drop several images and they'll be processed one after another, each with its own preview and download button.
