Image to WEBP Converter: Smaller Files, Free Online Tool

Convert JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, SVG, HEIC (iPhone photos), PDF, TIFF, and PSD files into WEBP — right in your browser, with transparency preserved. Nothing uploads to a server, so your images and documents never leave your device.

Add up to 20 files at once, adjust quality, resize dimensions, and choose whether to keep transparency or add a background color, then download each WEBP individually or all together as a ZIP.

Converting PDF, TIFF, and PSD Files

Beyond standard image formats, this tool also decodes three document and design formats entirely in your browser — no upload required:

  • PDF: every page in the PDF is converted into its own separate WEBP. A 5-page PDF becomes 5 downloadable images.
  • TIFF: the first image/frame in the file is converted. Multi-page TIFFs are not fully supported yet.
  • PSD: the flattened composite image (what the file looks like with all visible layers combined) is converted, with transparency preserved — individual layers aren’t extracted separately.

Why Convert Images to WEBP?

WEBP is a modern format built specifically to replace both JPG and PNG on the web, because it does what both of them do — often better:

  • Noticeably smaller file sizes than JPG at the same visual quality — faster page loads and better Core Web Vitals
  • Full transparency support, like PNG, even at lossy (smaller-file) quality settings
  • Supported natively in every modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari)
  • One format that can replace separate JPG and PNG exports for most web use cases

WEBP vs JPG vs PNG: Which Should You Use?

FormatBest forTransparency
WEBPWeb images generally — smallest file size for the qualityYes
JPGMaximum compatibility with very old software/devicesNo
PNGWhen you need zero quality loss, no compression at allYes

Need a different target format? Our Image to JPG Converter and Image to PNG Converter handle the same set of input formats.

What Happens to Transparency?

WEBP supports transparent pixels even when using lossy (smaller-file) compression — something JPG can’t do at all. By default, this tool keeps any transparency in your source image intact. If you’d rather flatten the image onto a solid background instead, switch to “Add solid color” and pick your color before converting.

How Quality Affects WEBP File Size

WEBP uses adjustable lossy compression, similar to JPG, but is typically 25-35% smaller than a JPG at equivalent visual quality. For most web use, 80-90% quality is a good balance. Drop lower only if file size is the top priority, such as for large batches of thumbnail images.

Who Should Use This Tool?

  • Website owners and developers optimizing image file sizes for faster page loads and better Core Web Vitals
  • Bloggers and content creators replacing heavier JPG/PNG images with a modern, smaller format
  • Designers and marketers who need transparency without JPG’s file-size penalty of PNG
  • iPhone users converting HEIC photos into a smaller, widely-supported web format
  • Anyone who wants to convert images without uploading them to a third-party server

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool upload my images anywhere?

No. Every conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your images and documents are never sent to any server.

Which formats can I convert to WEBP?

JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, SVG, HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos), PDF, TIFF, and PSD (Photoshop) can all be converted to WEBP with this tool.

Is WEBP smaller than JPG and PNG?

Usually yes. WEBP is typically 25-35% smaller than an equivalent-quality JPG, and significantly smaller than PNG for photographic images, while still supporting transparency like PNG.

Will converting to WEBP keep the transparent background?

Yes, by default. Transparency in your source image is preserved even at lossy quality settings, unless you switch to “Add solid color” and choose a background color before converting.

Do all browsers support WEBP images?

Yes — WEBP is supported natively in all current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Only very old browser versions may lack support.

What quality setting should I use?

80-90% is a good default for most web images — it keeps visual quality high while producing a noticeably smaller file than an equivalent JPG.

What happens when I convert a PDF?

Every page in the PDF is converted into its own separate WEBP image, which you can download individually or all together as a ZIP.

Does this support multi-page TIFF files?

Only the first image in a TIFF file is converted currently. Support for additional frames in multi-page TIFFs may be added later.

What does converting a PSD file give me?

You’ll get the flattened composite image — what the file looks like with all visible layers combined, transparency included — not the individual layers separately.

How many images can I convert at once?

Up to 20 images per batch. You can download them individually or all together as a single ZIP file.

Can I resize images while converting them?

Yes. Enter a width and/or height in pixels before converting. With “Keep aspect ratio” enabled, entering just one dimension automatically scales the other proportionally so your image never looks stretched.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, completely free with no signup required.
