Format-preserving compression

Compress WebP Online

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.

Quality guide

Start from the image content, not a universal percentage

Quality settings behave differently on photos, screenshots and graphics. Inspect the areas users will notice first.

60–74

Aggressive

Useful for previews and less important photos. Check gradients, hair, product textures and text carefully.

86–95

Detail-first

Better for screenshots, interface elements, close product details and assets where compression artifacts are easy to notice.

Before another compression pass

Check whether file size is really the problem

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.

01Dimensions

Match source dimensions to the largest real display size.

02Quality

Lower quality gradually and compare important details.

03Delivery

Verify the page is serving the optimized file instead of an old cached URL.

Stay in WebP

Compression is the right task when…

  • The website already accepts and serves WebP
  • You only need a smaller version of the same asset
  • Transparency or broad browser delivery is already working
  • You want to avoid another format decision
Change format

Use a converter when…

  • An app rejects WebP and requires JPG/JPEG
  • You need PNG output for a transparent editing workflow
  • You are testing AVIF as a separate production variant
  • The final extension is part of the requirement

Make compression repeatable

Move from one WebP file to an ongoing workflow

Use the website tool for immediate files, Chrome for page audits and WordPress for automatic or bulk Media Library optimization.

WebP compression FAQ

Questions about WebP-to-WebP optimization

This FAQ stays focused on compression without changing format.

Does this tool keep the WebP format?

Yes. This page is for WebP-to-WebP compression, not format conversion.

What WebP quality should I use?

For many website photos, 75 to 85 is a useful starting range. Screenshots, text and sharp UI details may need a higher setting.

Can a WebP already be fully optimized?

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.

Should I use WebP or AVIF instead?

Keep WebP for broad compatibility and a simple production workflow. Test AVIF when maximum compression justifies additional fallback and delivery checks.

A second compression pass is useful only when the output is smaller and the visible detail still meets the page requirement.
