Aggressive
Useful for previews and less important photos. Check gradients, hair, product textures and text carefully.
Format-preserving compression
Reduce WebP file size while keeping WebP output. This page is for a lighter version of the same format—not for converting the image to JPG, PNG or AVIF.
Private browser processing. TinySharp keeps the smaller result automatically on optimization workflows.
Quality guide
Quality settings behave differently on photos, screenshots and graphics. Inspect the areas users will notice first.
Useful for previews and less important photos. Check gradients, hair, product textures and text carefully.
Often a sensible range for website photography when the goal is smaller files without obvious visual damage.
Better for screenshots, interface elements, close product details and assets where compression artifacts are easy to notice.
Before another compression pass
A WebP can still be heavy because its dimensions are much larger than the rendered slot. Compressing a 5000-pixel photo helps, but resizing it to the actual display width usually produces a more predictable result.
Match source dimensions to the largest real display size.
Lower quality gradually and compare important details.
Verify the page is serving the optimized file instead of an old cached URL.
Make compression repeatable
Use the website tool for immediate files, Chrome for page audits and WordPress for automatic or bulk Media Library optimization.
Optimize WordPress images, create modern variants, keep backups and verify frontend delivery.
See the WordPress optimizerScan page images, check rendered dimensions and export an image audit before editing files.
Install the Chrome extensionQueue multiple local images and download the finished batch as a ZIP.

This FAQ stays focused on compression without changing format.
Yes. This page is for WebP-to-WebP compression, not format conversion.
For many website photos, 75 to 85 is a useful starting range. Screenshots, text and sharp UI details may need a higher setting.
Yes. If the source was encoded efficiently, another pass may save very little or make quality worse. Keep the original when the output is not smaller.
Keep WebP for broad compatibility and a simple production workflow. Test AVIF when maximum compression justifies additional fallback and delivery checks.
