What Is WebP?

WebP is an image format developed by Google that supports lossy compression, lossless compression, transparency and animation. That is why one format can replace both a JPG photo and a PNG graphic, and why a JPG PNG to WebP converter handles both file types.

How Much Smaller Will Your Files Be?

Google’s WebP documentation reports these averages:

  • Lossy WebP files are 25–34% smaller than comparable JPEGs at the same SSIM quality index.
  • Lossless WebP files are 26% smaller than PNGs.
  • Lossy WebP with transparency is typically about 3× smaller than PNG.

These come from Google’s test image sets. Your own files may save more or less, so compare the file sizes before and after.

JPG to WebP vs PNG to WebP: What Changes?

  • JPG to WebP: Photos are the usual case. A JPG is already lossy, so converting adds another round of compression. The goal is a smaller file that looks the same at normal size.
  • PNG to WebP: PNG files are often logos, icons and screenshots. WebP supports transparency, so these can keep transparent backgrounds. Alpha SEO Tools states that PNG transparency is preserved, so test one transparent file first.

Tips for Better Results

  1. Keep your original files. Save the source JPG and PNG images in a separate folder.
  2. Resize before converting. A 4000-pixel image shown at 800 pixels wastes bandwidth in any format.
  3. Convert from the original, not a copy. Converting a compressed copy adds another round of loss.
  4. Check the output. Zoom to 100% on faces, text and gradients before you replace files on your site.
  5. Convert photos and graphics separately. It is easier to spot problems in each group.

After You Convert: Using Your WebP Files

  1. Upload them. WordPress has supported WebP uploads since version 5.8, provided your server’s image library supports WebP.
  2. Add width and height attributes to each image so the page does not shift while loading.
  3. Do not lazy-load your main image. Lazy-load images lower on the page only.
  4. Test your page. PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse’s “Serve images in modern formats” audit show whether you have more savings to find.

Web.dev reports that on more than 70% of pages, the largest element in the first screen involves an image, so lighter images can help your Largest Contentful Paint. Its target for a good score is 2.5 seconds or less.
