Convert Your First Image to WebP

Converting an image to WebP takes three steps: choose the right converter, drop your file in, and download the result. WEBPery runs entirely in your browser, so your images never upload to a server. This guide walks you through your first conversion and the choices that matter.

New to the format itself? Read What is WebP? first. Otherwise, start converting below.

Which converter should you use?

Choose the converter that matches your source file's format. WEBPery provides a dedicated tool for each common image type, so the conversion uses the correct decoder and the best default settings.

Pick by your source format:

JPEG photographs — JPG to WebP
PNG graphics, logos, or transparent images — PNG to WebP
Animated GIFs — GIF to WebP
ICO icons — ICO to WebP
Existing WebP files you want smaller — WebP Compress

To convert from WebP back to another format, use WebP to PNG, WebP to JPG, or WebP to GIF.

How do you convert an image to WebP?

Convert an image in three steps. Open the converter for your file format, add your image, and download the WebP output. The whole process runs locally in your browser within a second for typical images.

Open the converter — for example, JPG to WebP.
Add your image — drag the file onto the drop zone, or click to browse. You can add several files at once.
Download the result — each converted WebP is ready to download immediately.

No account, no email, and no upload are required at any step.

Do your files get uploaded to a server?

Your files are never uploaded. WEBPery converts images using your browser's built-in image engine, so every file stays on your device. This protects private images and removes any upload or download wait.

Browser-based conversion also means there are no file-size limits imposed by a server and no queue — conversion speed depends only on your own device.

Which compression mode should you choose?

Choose lossy for photographs and lossless for graphics. Lossy compression produces much smaller files for continuous-tone images. Lossless compression keeps logos, icons, and screenshots pixel-perfect. WEBPery defaults to the right mode for each converter.

Where to go from here

Your first conversion takes seconds. Once you know which mode suits your content, every image on your site can be smaller without visible quality loss.
