Key points

  • Choose a PNG or JPG and get a WebP back, with a quality control to tune.
  • Shows the size before and after, so the saving is a number rather than a promise.
  • Runs on the browser's own encoder. The image is never uploaded.
  • Lossy only, so flat-colour images like screenshots may come out larger.

WebP is the image format every current browser supports, and on photographs it compresses far better than PNG. The converter above runs on the browser's own WebP encoder, so choosing a file converts it in this page with nothing uploaded and nothing logged. It reports the size before and after, which matters because the saving depends entirely on the image.

Two limits are worth knowing before you rely on it. The browser can only write lossy WebP, so flat-colour images (screenshots, logos, line art) often encode smaller as PNG, and the converter says so plainly when the result comes out larger rather than dressing it up as a saving. Colour profiles are also discarded during the conversion, so a colour-managed image can shift. For lossless WebP or profile-preserving output, a desktop encoder is still the right tool.

Once the file is lighter, it usually needs somewhere to live. If the image belongs to a site you are publishing, you can publish an HTML page and the smaller assets load noticeably faster. iPhone photos arrive as HEIC, which browsers cannot decode at all, so those have to become JPGs on the device before this converter can read them.

Anything else in the project can ride along. NudgeHost will put any file online, so mockups, PDFs, and ZIPs sit in the same dashboard as the images. Developers tidying assets may also get use out of browser-based dev tools alongside this page. Hosting is free up to 25MB per file, with larger limits and custom domains on the paid tier.
