How to compress a WebP image
- Choose a WebP file, drag it here, or paste it from your clipboard.
- Set the quality. WebP stays sharp at lower settings, so 70–80% is a good start.
- Select “Compress image” and check the new size and reduction.
- Fine-tune the quality if needed, then download your optimized WebP.
WebP quality guide
| Use | Quality | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hero and full-screen images | 75–85% | WebP keeps detail well at these settings |
| Content and product images | 65–80% | Usually indistinguishable from the original |
| Thumbnails | 55–70% | Small sizes hide compression |
| Graphics with text or transparency | 85% or higher | Keeps edges and lettering crisp |

Why optimize WebP
-
Faster pages
Images are usually the heaviest part of a web page. Smaller WebP files load faster and help your Core Web Vitals.
-
Transparency supported
Unlike JPG, WebP can be transparent. Transparent areas are kept when you compress.
-
Widely supported
WebP works in all modern browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on both desktop and mobile.
Processed locally — your images stay on your device.
No upload required
The WebP file is compressed by your browser on your device. It is never uploaded to our server.
WebP compression FAQ
How do I reduce the size of a WebP image?
Open it in the WebP Compressor and lower the quality. WebP images are often saved at a higher quality than needed, so 70–80% usually brings a noticeable saving with no visible difference.
Is WebP better than JPG?
For the same visual quality, WebP files are typically 25–35% smaller than JPG, and WebP also supports transparency. JPG remains useful when you need maximum compatibility with older software.
Does compressing WebP remove transparency?
No. Transparent areas remain transparent in the compressed WebP.
Are animated WebP images supported?
Animated WebP files can be opened, but only the first frame is kept in the result. We show a notice when an animated file is detected.
Is my WebP file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser, and the image never leaves your device.
Why does compression take longer in some browsers?
WebP encoding is more demanding than JPG, and the speed depends on your device. Large images can take a second or two. Some older browsers cannot create WebP files at all; in that case we show a message.
