About JPEG format

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is identical to JPG - the different extension is simply a historical artifact from early file system limitations. Both formats use the same compression algorithm and produce identical results. JPEG remains the standard for digital photography and web images due to its excellent compression and universal support.

Pros

  • +Efficient compression for photographs
  • +Widely recognized file extension

Cons

  • -Same limitations as JPG (lossy, no transparency)
  • -Some older systems prefer .jpg extension
  • -Quality loss with repeated editing

About WEBP format

It supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency, and animation - combining the best features of JPEG, PNG, and GIF in one format. WebP typically achieves 25-35% smaller file sizes than equivalent JPEG or PNG images.

Pros

  • +Smaller files than JPEG and PNG
  • +Supports transparency and animation
  • +Both lossy and lossless compression options

Cons

  • -Not supported in older browsers
  • -Limited support in some image editors
  • -May require fallback images for compatibility

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to convert JPEG to WEBP online?↓
Yes, Convt processes your files entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device - no data is uploaded to any server. This makes it completely private and secure.
How long does JPEG to WEBP conversion take?↓
Conversion is typically instant for small to medium files. Larger files may take a few seconds depending on your device's processing power. Since everything runs locally, speed depends on your hardware rather than internet connection.
Is there a file size limit for conversion?↓
There's no artificial file size limit. However, very large files (over 500MB for video, 100MB for images) may strain your browser's memory. For best results, ensure you have enough available RAM.
Do I need to install any software?↓
No installation required. Convt runs entirely in your web browser. It works on any modern browser including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop and mobile devices.
Can I convert multiple files at once?↓
Yes, you can add multiple files to the converter and process them all. Each file will be converted individually and you can download them separately or together.
Will converting JPEG to WEBP reduce image quality?↓
WEBP uses lossy compression, which may slightly reduce quality in exchange for smaller file sizes. For most uses, this difference is imperceptible.
