Free online converter for converting files to WEBP.
We ensure quality, convenience, and support for all formats.
WEBP is an advanced raster image format introduced by Google in 2010. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency (alpha channel), and animation, making it a versatile alternative to older formats like JPG, PNG, and GIF.
Using a modern compression algorithm, WEBP achieves significantly smaller file sizes than JPG or PNG with comparable visual quality. This makes it especially useful for web optimization and improving user experience on slower networks.
