Why convert JPG to WebP?
JPG (JPEG) is the classic format for photos. Its lossy compression keeps files small, but it has no transparency and slightly softens sharp edges and text.
WebP is Google's modern web format. At the same quality it is usually 25-35% smaller than JPG or PNG, and it supports transparency and animation.
Choose WebP when the image is going on a website and should load fast.
