JPG to WebP
To convert a JPG to WebP, drag it, tap Shift and drop it on the WebP planet. The WebP is usually 25–35% smaller than the JPG with no visible difference, which makes pages load faster.
How to convert JPG to WebP
- 1
Start dragging the JPG file, from the desktop or any folder.
- 2
While you're still holding it, tap Shift. A ring of planets opens around the file, one for each format it can become.
- 3
Drop the file on the WebP planet. The WebP copy appears next to the original a moment later.
For websites and online shops
Page speed tools like Google's PageSpeed Insights keep suggesting "serve images in next-gen formats". WebP is the answer every browser supports. With Pro you can convert a whole folder of product photos in one drop.
PNG works the same way, and WebP keeps PNG transparency. You'll find a ready-made "Web (WebP)" preset among the image tools too.
PlanetOS does all of this on your computer. Your files are never uploaded, and it works without an internet connection.
