How to compress an image to WebP
WebP usually beats JPEG on size at the same visual quality. Convert or recompress here, entirely on your device.
- Add your image. Drop a JPG, PNG, or existing WebP onto the compressor.
- Choose WebP. Set the output format to WebP.
- Tune size. Use quality or a KB target until the After size fits your budget.
- Download. Save the .webp for your site or app.
Why compress with WebP
WebP is a modern image format with strong lossy compression for photographs and optional transparency for graphics. At a similar look, a WebP file is often 25–40% smaller than JPEG — useful for websites, performance budgets, and any upload that accepts .webp.
Use WebP when the destination supports it: modern browsers, many CMSs, and newer apps. Stick with JPEG when a form, print shop, or older Office workflow still rejects WebP — or convert afterward with WebP to JPG.
In the Image Compressor, choose WebP as the output format, then tune quality or set a KB target. Photos from PNG or JPEG convert cleanly; keep transparency when you need cutouts (WebP can retain alpha, unlike JPEG).
WebP is not a magic fix for a wrong crop: for passport or ID portals that demand JPEG under 50 KB, convert to JPEG and use Compress image to 50 KB. For web delivery and modern stacks, WebP is usually the better default.
Everything runs locally — your image never uploads to Tokitool. Compare before/after size, then download the .webp.
Frequently asked questions
Is WebP smaller than JPEG?
Usually yes at comparable visual quality. Exact savings depend on the photo; check the After size in the tool.
Does WebP support transparency?
Yes. WebP can keep an alpha channel, which JPEG cannot. Use WebP (or PNG) for logos and cutouts.
When should I avoid WebP?
When the receiving system only accepts JPG or PNG. Convert with WebP to JPG for those portals.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Conversion and compression run entirely in your browser.
