Choose the setting that fits the image
Start with balanced quality. Move to a smaller file only after checking detail in the result.
Balanced quality
A good starting point for photos and detailed graphics.
Keeps more texture and edges while still reducing the file size.
Use this setting when the image will be viewed closely.
Smaller file
Uses lower quality to reduce the file size further.
This sample reaches 93 KB from the same 343 KB source.
Check text, faces, and fine patterns before sharing the output.
When WebP is a good choice
WebP can make website images lighter, but it is best used where the destination accepts the format.
Website images
Useful when you control the site or know that WebP is supported.
Modern upload flows
Use it when the receiving service explicitly accepts WebP files.
Keep a compatible copy
When a destination does not accept WebP, create a WebP to JPG copy and keep the original WebP.
FAQ
No. Processing happens locally in your browser, so the images stay on your device. Re-encoding can remove EXIF and other ancillary metadata from the downloaded copy.
You can choose 35% to 95%. A lower value usually creates a smaller file but may soften detail or add compression artifacts; balanced mode uses the value you select.
It encodes each image 12 quality points below the slider value to favor a smaller result. Use balanced mode when preserving detail matters more than the extra saving.
No. The result depends on the source image and the selected quality. A WebP that is already well optimized may shrink only slightly or can even become larger, so compare the displayed sizes before downloading.
The pixel width and height stay unchanged, and transparent areas remain transparent. The image is re-encoded with lossy WebP compression, so visual detail can change.
The tool accepts static WebP images only: up to 20 files, 50 MB per file, 60 megapixels, and 16,384 pixels on either side. Animated WebP is rejected, and completed files are downloaded individually rather than as a ZIP.
No. This tool controls encoding quality rather than a target file size. Try another quality value and keep the original if the destination also requires JPG, PNG, or software that does not accept WebP.
