JPEG to WEBP converter

JPEG is a standard digital image format that uses a type of data compression algorithm to reduce file size. This makes it ideal for web pages, email, and other online media. JPEG files are often identified by the .jpg or .jpeg file extensions. The JPEG format allows for images with millions of colors, though their resolution is usually somewhat lower than other image file types.

The JPEG standard can be adjusted to various levels, allowing the user to trade off image quality for better compression. As such, JPEG can be used in a variety of ways - from low quality display images to high-resolution photographs. JPEG also includes metadata support in the form of markers and comments that allow for photo capture data, descriptions and other information to be embedded in the image.

WEBP is a file type developed by Google that is designed to offer graphics and images with a higher compression rate than what is available with other formats, such as JPG or PNG. WEBP files are typically smaller in size than other popular image file types, which makes them ideal for use on webpages where file size is important for reducing page load time.

WEBP files support both lossy and lossless compression. The lossy option reduces file size with minor decreases in image quality, while lossless preserves the image quality without sacrificing storage space. WEBP can also include animations and incorporate transparency levels depending on the properties of the file.
