Private by design: the conversion runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Output format: webp

A folder of JPEGs from a shoot is the heaviest thing on most websites, and WebP is the cheapest available fix: the same picture, roughly a third fewer bytes, no change to your markup. Drop the JPG here and the page hands back a .webp you can serve directly. Because the re-encode is local, an entire client gallery can be processed without a single frame being uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Will a JPG converted to WebP look worse?
There is a second lossy pass, so pixel peeping at 400 percent will show it. At the size photographs are actually viewed on a page the two are hard to tell apart, and the saving is real.
Should I keep the original JPG?
Yes, keep it as the master. Encoding from the JPG again later is fine, whereas encoding from the WebP would stack a third generation of compression onto the image.
Do I still need a fallback for old browsers?
Almost never now. If your analytics genuinely show traffic from ancient devices, a picture element listing both sources costs nothing to add.
