This is free tool to convert any jpg, jpeg, png, gif image to webp format
WebP means Web Picture format. It is a modern image format developed by Google. It supports both lossy and lossless compression. It can also support transparency (like PNG) and animation (like GIF). It produces smaller file sizes compared to JPG and PNG while keeping good quality. Best for: websites, online images, faster loading speed.
JPG means Joint Photographic Experts and JPEG means Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is a widely used compressed image format created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It uses lossy compression, which reduces file size but may slightly reduce quality. It is best for: photographs, realistic images, social media, websites. File extensions: .jpg and .jpeg (both are the same, just naming differences).
PNG means Portable Network Graphics. It is a lossless compression image format. It supports transparency (alpha channel), which makes it ideal for images with backgrounds removed. The file size is usually larger than JPG, but image quality is preserved perfectly. Best for: logos, icons, graphics, images with text, transparent backgrounds.
BMP means Bitmap image. It is one of the oldest image formats, developed by Microsoft. It stores raw pixel data without compression → file size is very large. It preserves image quality exactly but is not efficient for web use. Best for: simple image storage, editing before conversion to other formats (rarely used now).
