How to Convert Images to WebP Format
WebP is Google's modern image format that delivers 25–35% smaller files than JPEG or PNG at the same visual quality. Converting to WebP is one of the highest-impact optimisations for web performance.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Upload your JPEG or PNG
Open the Pixaroid WebP Converter and upload any JPG, PNG, GIF or TIFF file.
2
Set quality to 80%
80% WebP quality typically produces images that are visually identical to 90% JPEG — with 30% smaller files.

Deploy to your website
Use the <picture> HTML tag with a JPEG fallback for browsers that do not support WebP (mainly older iOS).
💡 Pro Tips
- Use 80% WebP quality for the best compression/quality ratio.
- Implement WebP with a JPEG fallback using the <picture> element for older browser support.
- All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari 14+, Edge) support WebP natively.
Pro tips to get the best results
- All processing is browser-based — files never leave your device. No upload, no privacy risk.
- Works on mobile — use Chrome for Android or Safari on iOS. Tap to browse or paste from clipboard.
- No account required — no signup, no watermark, completely free with no limits.
- Re-select the same file — after downloading, tap the dropzone again to process another image.
- Paste to upload — use Ctrl+V (desktop) or screenshot paste (iOS/Android) to upload directly from clipboard.
