FAQ
- Do my images get uploaded to a server for conversion?
- No. All decoding and re-encoding are executed directly on your computer using your browser's HTML5 Canvas and createImageBitmap APIs. Your images are never sent over the internet.
- Which formats can I convert to and from WebP?
- You can convert PNG, JPEG/JPG, and GIF images to WebP. You can also convert WebP files into universal PNG (lossless) or JPEG (with adjustable compression quality).
- How does the quality slider affect WebP and JPEG?
- The quality slider controls lossy compression from 10% (maximum file reduction) to 100% (highest fidelity). For PNG output, conversion is always lossless and the quality slider is not applied.
- Can I convert multiple images at once?
- Yes. You can select or drop multiple images into the converter. Each file will be converted locally, and you can download them individually or package them into a single ZIP archive.
- What happens to image transparency when converting to JPEG?
- Because the JPEG format does not support alpha transparency channels, transparent areas are automatically rendered with a clean white background.
- Why should I convert images to WebP?
- WebP generally provides 25% to 35% smaller file sizes compared to JPEG and PNG at equivalent visual quality, improving page load speeds and reducing bandwidth.
- How can I convert images to WebP programmatically without this page?
- In modern browsers, load the image into an HTMLImageElement or ImageBitmap, draw it to an HTMLCanvasElement with canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(), then call canvas.toBlob(blob => ..., 'image/webp', quality). Alternatively, use the libwebp cwebp CLI tool: cwebp -q 85 input.png -o output.webp.
