How do I compress a WebP file?

Drop the WebP onto the compressor above, keep Balanced or pick another level, and click Compress. Download the smaller WebP when it's done; it usually takes a few seconds.

Does compressing WebP reduce quality?

A little, by design: WebP is a lossy format. Balanced is tuned to look the same for most uses; choose Light if you want to stay closer to the original.

How much smaller will my WebP get?

It depends on how the original was saved: WebPs exported at high quality shrink a lot, while ones already optimised for the web only shrink a little.

Can I compress WebP to a specific size?

Yes. Set a target size in the compressor, or a percentage to reduce by, and the file is compressed to land at or just under it. Common sizes like 50 KB or 100 KB are listed on this page with the target preset.

Is it safe to compress WebP files here?

Yes. WebP files are compressed inside your browser with WebAssembly and never uploaded to a server.

Is the WebP compressor free?

Yes. Compression is free with no watermark and no sign-up, within the same daily allowance as conversions.

What compression does to WebP

LossyIn your browser

Re-encodes WebP at a tuned quality with the slowest, most efficient encoder settings.

Light: Near-lossless: re-encodes conservatively and keeps the full resolution.
BalancedDefault: The default: looks the same for most uses, and typically 40–70% smaller.
Strong: Smallest file: lower quality, and large images are downscaled.

Common sizes

The compressor above takes any target size, or a percentage to reduce by. These pages preset the sizes people ask for most, for upload forms, email and chat limits.
