Free Online Image to WebP Converter - Transform Your Images

Looking to convert your PNG, JPG, or GIF images to the modern WebP format? Compress.Plus offers a powerful, free image converter that transforms your images to WebP in seconds. WebP is the next-generation image format developed by Google that provides superior compression compared to traditional formats, making it the preferred choice for web developers and performance-conscious website owners.

What is WebP and Why Should You Use It

WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Developed by Google, WebP creates images that are significantly smaller than their JPEG and PNG counterparts while maintaining comparable visual quality. This translates to faster loading websites, reduced bandwidth consumption, and improved user experience.

According to Google, WebP lossless images are 26% smaller than PNGs, while WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent quality. This dramatic reduction in file size makes WebP an essential tool for anyone serious about web performance optimization.

Benefits of Converting to WebP

Faster Loading

Smaller file sizes mean faster page loads and better user experience.

Better SEO

Google rewards fast-loading pages with better search rankings.

Reduced Bandwidth

Save on hosting costs with smaller image files.

Quality Preserved

Maintain visual quality while dramatically reducing file size.

Transparency Support

WebP supports alpha channel transparency like PNG.

Animation Support

WebP can replace animated GIFs with smaller file sizes.

WebP Browser Support

WebP enjoys excellent browser support in 2026. All major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera fully support WebP images. This means you can confidently use WebP on your website knowing that the vast majority of your visitors will be able to view your images without any issues.

For the small percentage of users on older browsers, you can implement fallback solutions using the HTML picture element, which allows you to serve WebP to supported browsers while providing JPEG or PNG alternatives for others.

When to Convert Images to WebP

  • Website Optimization: Convert all website images to WebP for faster loading times and improved Core Web Vitals scores.
  • E-commerce Platforms: Product images in WebP format load faster, improving the shopping experience and potentially increasing conversions.
  • Blog Content: Reduce page weight by converting blog images to WebP, especially important for image-heavy articles.
  • Mobile Applications: WebP is ideal for mobile apps where bandwidth and storage are limited.
  • Email Marketing: While email client support varies, WebP can significantly reduce email size where supported.

Quality Settings Explained

Our WebP converter allows you to adjust the quality level from 10 to 100. Higher quality settings produce larger files with better visual fidelity, while lower settings create smaller files with some quality trade-off. For most web use cases, a quality setting between 75-85 provides an excellent balance between file size and visual quality.

For photographic images, we recommend starting with 80% quality and adjusting based on your specific needs. For images with text or sharp edges, you may want to use higher quality settings to preserve clarity. Our real-time preview feature allows you to see the results before downloading.
