What is WEBP?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression for images on the web. WebP files are 25-34% smaller than equivalent JPEG files at the same visual quality, and support both lossy and lossless compression, as well as transparency and animation. WebP is supported by all modern browsers.
What is a JPG File?
JPG is an image format. Converting to WEBP ensures your images are compatible with more devices and applications.
JPG vs WEBP
JPG has been the web standard for photographs since the 1990s, but WebP offers significantly better compression. A 500 KB JPG photo typically compresses to 325-375 KB as WebP with identical visual quality. For websites, this means faster page loads, lower bandwidth costs, and better Core Web Vitals scores. The tradeoff is that some older software can't open WebP files.
