JPEG to WebP — Settings and quality

Worked example

JPEG to WebP has no quality slider: WebP is encoded at a fixed 92 percent, so pixel size and the tool you pick are the real levers.

At 92 percent the result is a high-quality copy. For a 1600 × 1067 px photograph that might mean a file somewhat smaller than a typical JPEG, but it is not a guarantee, and a JPEG that was saved at a lower quality can end up larger. The estimated output size on the page is only a rough guide, so measure the downloaded file.

When file size is the goal, as for a shop page where speed matters, use the Compress tool and select WebP there. Its quality slider runs from 20 to 95 and starts at 78, and a value near 75 to 80 is often a sensible balance for photographs. For hero images that will be viewed large, stay closer to 85.

The common mistake is converting twice, JPEG to WebP and then WebP to a smaller WebP. Each lossy step compounds. Choose the final quality once, from the original JPEG or the camera master, and go straight to the delivery file.

Use this converter when you want a dependable high-quality WebP and the size reduction is a bonus. Use Compress when a target such as 150 KB per image matters.
