When this is worth doing
Converting JPG to WebP pays off most when the photos go on a website. Lighter files mean pages that load faster, which visitors notice and search engines take into account.
Photographs are usually the heaviest thing on a page. A gallery, a product listing or a set of banner images can be most of what a visitor waits for, and moving those to WebP takes a real weight off without anyone seeing a difference in the picture.
It is less worth the effort for photos that live on your own computer and already open fine. And if you are handing files to someone else, or sending them to a printer, a JPG is still the safer thing to give them.
Keeping your photos looking right
The quality slider is the one setting worth knowing about on a JPG to WebP conversion. Left alone it suits almost everything, and raising it keeps more detail in pictures you will look at closely.
Photos going straight onto a page can be left exactly as the converter has them. Raise the slider when a picture is going to be handled again afterwards: cropped, zoomed into, re-exported or sent to print. Each of those makes small differences easier to spot.
One thing worth planning around. If you still have the original file your camera or your design software produced, converting from that gives a better result than converting the JPG. Worth digging out if you have it.
Questions people ask
If they go on a website, usually yes. A WebP holds the same photo in a lighter file, so your pages load faster for visitors. If the photos just sit on your computer and open fine, there is less reason to bother.
Yes, at the setting the converter starts on. Photographs handle this change well. If a particular picture is going to be printed, cropped or zoomed into later, nudge the quality slider up before you convert it.
Screenshots and pictures full of text are the usual reason. Photographs have far more room in them to save, so they shrink the most. A screenshot that was already small will not change much.
They come off. The date, the camera model and the location your phone recorded are not carried into the new file. That is helpful if you are publishing the photo, and worth keeping a copy of the original if you wanted that information saved.
On the web, yes. Every current browser shows WebP. Away from the web it is patchier, and plenty of older programs, office software and email apps still expect a JPG, so keep your originals for anything you have to hand to someone else.
Yes. Drop in as many as you like, they queue up together, and they come back as a single zip rather than one download at a time.
