WebP Compressor

It encodes your image as WebP with the quality you choose, using libwebp at a balanced effort level. Lossy WebP is typically 25 to 35 percent smaller than a JPEG of similar quality. The result is always a .webp file.

Quality runs from 1 to 100 and defaults to 80, a good balance for photos on websites. Values from 70 to 85 suit most content, while very low values blur fine detail and text. For images with sharp text or line art, try lossless mode instead.

Lossless WebP keeps every pixel exactly as in the source, like PNG, but usually produces files about 25 percent smaller than PNG. In lossless mode the quality value controls how hard the encoder works to shrink the file rather than the visual quality. It is the right choice for screenshots, logos and graphics.

Yes. An animated GIF or WebP upload becomes an animated WebP with every frame, the original frame delays and the original loop count. Animations are limited to 300 frames, 2000 pixels per side and 16 megapixels across all frames.

Yes, both lossy and lossless WebP keep the alpha channel. Transparent PNG and GIF uploads therefore stay transparent, which makes WebP a good replacement for PNG on websites.

You can upload JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF and AVIF images up to 5 MB. Still images wider or taller than 4000 pixels are scaled down to fit within 4000 by 4000 pixels. Every upload is returned as WebP.

All current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Opera display WebP, including animated and transparent WebP. Safari has supported it since version 14 on macOS Big Sur and iOS 14. Very old browsers and some desktop software may still need a JPEG or PNG fallback.

No, EXIF data, GPS coordinates and color profiles are removed and colors are converted to sRGB. For still images the EXIF rotation is applied to the pixels first, so photos stay upright.

Yes. Upload the WebP and choose a lower quality to make it smaller. Each lossy encode loses a little detail, so compress from the original image when you have it, and keep in mind that a higher quality than the original can make the file larger.

Animations store many frames, and GIF sources with dithering patterns are hard to compress in lossy mode. Lower the quality value, or shorten and shrink the animation first with the GIF Resizer. Lossless mode is often smaller than lossy for simple cartoon style animations.
