Deep Dive

Learn how it works

The case for switching to WebP in 2026

In 2020, WebP was an experiment. In 2026, it's the standard. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera all support WebP natively. 97% of all web browsers handle WebP without a polyfill or fallback. If you're still serving JPEG as your primary format, you're sending users 25-35% more data than necessary on every page load.

The numbers are concrete: a 400 KB JPEG converted to WebP at equivalent quality is typically 270-290 KB. Over 20 product images on a Shopify store, that's 2.5 MB saved per page load. Google's Core Web Vitals algorithm penalises pages that serve images in "legacy formats" - its specific language for JPEG and PNG when WebP or AVIF is available.

FastCompressor's JPG-to-WebP converter runs the conversion entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. You choose the quality level, preview the result, and download the .webp file. No upload, no waiting for a server, no account.

For WordPress users: Install a WebP-serving plugin (WebP Express, EWWW, or Imagify) to automatically serve WebP to supported browsers. Convert your existing JPEG library with FastCompressor first to get a WebP version of every image.

For Shopify merchants: Shopify automatically converts images to WebP for supported browsers since 2021. But if you're uploading highly compressed JPEGs, the auto-conversion quality may not be optimal. Upload a well-compressed WebP directly for more control over the output.
