What is WebP compression?
WebP compression re-encodes your image at a lower quality setting, trading a small, often invisible amount of visual detail for a meaningfully smaller file size, while keeping the same WebP format. WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency, and animation — typically producing smaller files than JPG or PNG at comparable quality.
How to compress a WebP file
- Choose a WebP file using the drop zone above (or drag and drop it in).

- Click "Download" to save your smaller WebP file.
Why compress a WebP file?
A smaller WebP file uploads faster, loads faster on a website, and takes up less storage or email attachment space — often with no visible difference in quality.
Is this private?
Yes. This WebP compressor runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your file is never uploaded to our servers, stored, or logged. Closing this tab discards everything.

- No. Compression happens entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API. Your file is never uploaded, stored, or transmitted anywhere.

- It depends on the image and the compression level you choose — typically 30-70% smaller with only a small, often unnoticeable drop in visual quality.
