Will the photo look worse?

At quality 80 or above most people cannot see a difference. Lower it for smaller files and compare before you download.

Why do I get a PNG instead of WebP in Safari?

Safari can open WebP images but cannot save them yet. Use Chrome, Edge or Firefox to create WebP files; the converter tells you when this happens.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your browser on your own device, so your images never leave it.

Yes. Converting is free with no watermark and no limit on how many images you convert. To download, sign in with a free CutLift account; it takes a few seconds.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome and other modern browsers on phones, tablets and computers. No app is needed.

05The guide

The JPG to WebP guide

Why shrink JPG photos to WebP

WebP photos are usually smaller than JPG photos at the same visual quality. A smaller file means a faster website or blog, and less data for every visitor to download. Converting before you publish keeps the page light.

The conversion keeps the picture as it is. You are changing the container and the compression, not the subject, so the photo still looks like the one you started with. You can compare the two side by side on your own screen before you use the WebP file anywhere.

How to pick the right quality

At quality 80 or above, most people cannot see a difference from the JPG. Lower the slider for smaller files, and compare the result before you download. Each file shows its size before and after the conversion, so you can see the saving straight away. A lower setting often gives a much smaller file, so a few quick tries are worth it.

If the photo has fine textures, such as grass, hair or fabric, keep the quality higher. Smooth skies and plain backgrounds can usually take a lower setting without any visible change. Check faces and text at full size, because small differences show most there.

Converting JPG to WebP in batches and in Safari

Drop up to 100 JPG or JPEG files together. Download each WebP, or save all of them as one ZIP. The conversion runs on your own device, so your photos are never uploaded, and the tool is free with no watermark. Keep your original JPG files as well, since converting back from WebP to JPG would add another round of compression.

Safari can open WebP but cannot save it. In Safari, the tool gives you a PNG and says so. The PNG is complete and ready to use. When you need WebP files, use Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
