Lemon/Images

Convert JPG to WebP

WebP gives you a noticeably smaller file than JPG for the same-looking photo, which is why page-speed tools keep asking for it. Drop a JPG below. It is converted inside this page.

HEIC, PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF. It never leaves this page.

JPG to WebP, right here.

Free, with no sign-up and no upload: the conversion runs inside this browser tab. Lemon for Mac does the same from Finder, for whole batches and for video, audio and PDFs too.

  • Converted files show up here, ready to download.

Two ways to do it on a Mac.

With Lemon

One click in Finder.

  1. 1Hold Option and click the JPG in Finder.
  2. 2Flick it onto WEBP on the lemon that appears.
  3. 3The WebP lands right beside the original.

Select several files first and they are all converted together. Nothing is uploaded: Lemon works with Wi-Fi off.

Built into macOS

There isn't one.

macOS has no built-in way to do this conversion. Preview, Finder and QuickTime Player don't offer it, so it takes an app like Lemon or the converter on this page.

Questions.

Safari can't create WebP files, so use Chrome, Edge or Firefox for the converter on this page. Lemon for Mac writes WebP on its own.
