JPG to WebP Converter
Drop a JPG, get a WebP. Nothing is uploaded.
Lower makes a smaller file and softens fine detail. 0.92 is what most tools use when they do not ask.
The shape is always kept, so the other side follows. Neither maximum ever ENLARGES a picture that is already smaller than it.
Pixels for either maximum, and a percentage for the last one. It is ignored while Resize is keeping the original size.
Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer.
What this does
Every camera and every phone writes JPG. A WebP is usually a third smaller than the same picture as a PNG or a JPG, which is why a website wants one. It is what a photograph of a print arrives as, and what a listing wants back.

- Wait for the WebPThe conversion runs on your own computer, so how long it takes depends on your machine and the size of the file, not on a queue.

Questions
Is JPG to WebP Converter free?
Yes. Every tool on Short Work Tools is free, with no account, no sign-in and no limit on how many files you run through it. It runs on your own computer, so it costs us nothing to give away.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer. There is no upload step, no server copy and nothing kept afterwards, which is also why it works with the network switched off once the page has loaded.
What does the WebP keep from the JPG?
Either exact pixels or compressed ones, with transparency either way, in fewer bytes than both. A JPG has already thrown detail away, and nothing can bring it back. The WebP will be smaller; it will not be sharper.
How large a file can I use?
Up to 250 MB. The limit is your browser's memory rather than an upload size, because the file never goes anywhere; a file larger than that is refused with a message rather than crashing the tab.
Which programs write JPG files?
Every camera and every phone writes JPG. It is what a photograph of a print arrives as, and what a listing wants back.
Does the converted picture keep the information the camera wrote into it?
No, and there is no setting for it because there is nothing to set. The picture is decoded to pixels and drawn onto a fresh canvas, and a canvas has no place to put the camera model, the date or the GPS position the original carried, so none of it is in the file you get back.
