JPG to WEBP Converter

JPG (or JPEG) is a widely used image format known for its efficient compression methods. It is especially suitable for digital photography and web use due to its ability to significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining acceptable image quality. JPG supports millions of colors and is ideal for complex images like photographs. However, it uses lossy compression, meaning some quality is lost during saving. It is supported by virtually all devices and software.

WEBP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for web images. It allows for smaller file sizes compared to JPG and PNG while maintaining high visual quality. WEBP also supports transparency and animation. Its efficient compression helps web developers create faster-loading websites. Though not universally supported in all older software, most modern browsers and tools have adopted WEBP support.
