How to Convert JPG to WebP (and Why You Should)

WebP is Google's modern image format used by 9 out of 10 top websites. It produces images 25-35% smaller than JPEG at the same quality, which means faster pages and better SEO rankings.

Why Convert to WebP?

• Smaller files — up to 35% savings over JPEG
• Faster pages — better Core Web Vitals, higher Google rankings
• Transparency — WebP supports alpha like PNG
• Universal support — every modern browser renders WebP

But Wait — Should You Use PNG Instead?

Keep PNG for images with transparency (logos, icons) and JPEG for photos. WebP is the best of both worlds and now works everywhere.
