JPG to WEBP

Elements
1

Hello everyone :slight_smile:
I’m looking for the automatic JPG to WEBP conversion option on export, but unfortunately, I can’t find it.

Is it possible that someone else doesn’t see the option, or does it not exist?

Thanks

I use squash Powerful Batch Photo Editor for Mac - Squash

But you should convert from the original file not an already compressed jpg file.

Hi @sweetmemories
I am using for my pictures always https://tinypng.com/. It supports automatic conversion to webp and has high compression rates. There is not one picture on my websites which did not run through TinyPNG.

And it is a free service.

Is WebP now supported on a wide basis also for some legacy browsers? Or should we wait until we are going to use it for commercial clients?

Safari 14 from 2020 was according to my knowledge the last browser supporting webp. Others like Chrome supports it since 2012. see table below.

Browser WebP-Unterstützung ab Version
Chrome 23 (2012)
Firefox 65 (2019)
Safari 14 (2020, macOS Big Sur / iOS 14)
Edge 18 (2018, legacy) / Chromium-Edge ab 79 (2020)
Opera 12.1 (2012)
Samsung Internet 4 (2016)
Chrome Android 25 (2013)
Safari iOS 14 (2020)

Tinypng has a good free service to check your photos and images on a page - TinyPNG – Web Page Image Analyzer

Don’t miss this! It’s very helpful. @MichaelDroste

Thanks everyone for your ideas.

I had another website builder on Mac that directly exported JPG to WebP, and even at different resolutions (you had to select them in the options), and I thought that was a default feature without needing another program.

@dan Perhaps a future feature ?

Have a good day :slight_smile:
