What Is a WebP Converter?
A WebP converter changes compatible image files such as JPG and PNG into the WebP format. WebP is commonly used for website images because it can often reduce file size while keeping useful visual quality.
Actual file size depends on the original image, image content and the quality level you choose, so WebP is not guaranteed to be smaller in every case.
