Frequently asked questions
At the default quality setting of 80%, the difference is negligible to most viewers. WebP is more efficient than JPG at the same quality, especially if you turn on lossless mode. The only scenario where you’ll see a noticeable degradation is using low quality settings (50 or below), which looks bad regardless of format.
Based on my tests, I'm getting over 70% savings converting JPG to WebP at 80% quality. However, results may vary depending on the content. Check the demo output below and the slider to see the JPG and WebP side by side; you'll hardly notice any change. ConvertYard shows you the exact byte savings per file in your results so you can see the difference immediately.
WebP is supported in all modern browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari (since version 14, released September 2020). That covers over 97% of global web traffic. If you need to support Safari 13 or Internet Explorer, stick with JPG. For any modern web project, WebP is the right default.
Lossy WebP (the default) discards some pixel data to shrink file size — at quality 80, the loss is negligible. Lossless WebP preserves every pixel exactly, like a PNG, but uses smarter compression than PNG and is typically 25% smaller than an equivalent PNG. Lossless files are 10–30% larger than lossy equivalents. Use lossless for logos, screenshots, UI assets, or images you plan to edit again.
Yes, you can drop all contents of a folder at once, but note that this will take longer than a smaller batch. One advantage of browser conversion is that it reduces the time it takes because it skips the file upload process. Most ‘free’ image converter sites also limit how many files they can process because of storage limits on their servers. Conversion speed depends on several factors: image size and processor speed. Typically, a 1,000-file batch conversion takes about 5 to 15 minutes. After conversion, you can download the batch as a zip file.
Nothing uploads. The file conversion is done entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. This is the same technology behind browser-based tools like Figma. The image files never leave your device. What our server does is deliver code to your browser, but all the processing happens locally, so there’s no risk of a data breach or people stealing your photos.
