Key takeaways
- Image to WebP converts JPG or PNG images into the WebP format, which typically produces smaller files at similar visual quality.
- Smaller images mean faster page loads, which matters for both user experience and search ranking.
- Virtually all modern browsers support WebP, making it a safe default for most websites today.
Converting for your website
Open Image to WebP, drop in your JPG or PNG images, and download the WebP versions — swap them into your website's image tags in place of the originals.
Frequently asked questions
Will visitors on old browsers see a broken image?
WebP support is extremely broad across modern browsers at this point — for maximum safety on a public site, you can still provide a JPG/PNG fallback using the HTML `<picture>` element.
Does WebP support transparency like PNG?
Yes — WebP supports transparency, so it can replace PNG for images needing it, not just JPG for photos.
