Is WebP better than JPG for websites?
Yes. WebP provides 25-35% smaller file sizes than JPG at equivalent visual quality. This means faster page loads and lower bandwidth costs. All modern browsers support WebP, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Will I lose quality converting JPG to WebP?
At equivalent quality settings, WebP actually looks slightly better than JPG at the same file size, thanks to its more advanced compression algorithm. You can also choose lossless WebP for zero quality loss.
Do all browsers support WebP?
All modern browsers support WebP: Chrome (since 2014), Firefox (since 2019), Safari (since 2020), and Edge. Only Internet Explorer and very old browser versions lack support. For those edge cases, you can serve JPG as a fallback.
