1Drop your WebP images into the box above, or pick them from your device — there is nothing to install and no account to create.
2Choose how hard to squeeze: a quality or bitrate target, and optionally smaller dimensions if size matters more to you than detail.
3Start the job and let the workers re-pack the file; your original is never modified in place.
4Compare the new size against the original, then download the compressed WebP file.
Compress WebP FAQ
What do I get back, and can I control the trade-off?
+
A single compressed file per input, at a quality or bitrate level you choose rather than a fixed default. If the result is not small enough, changing the dimensions or the duration will do more than pushing the quality slider further down.
How does Compress WebP actually make the file smaller?
+
Concretely, the encoder re-runs the DCT quantiser at the quality factor you choose, so the saving comes from coarser coefficients rather than from fewer pixels — the dimensions of the picture never change, and quality 80 is the usual sweet spot. Nothing about it depends on you installing software: the job runs server-side and hands back a finished file.
Is there anything specific to WebP I should know before compressing?
+
Yes — the same .webp extension can hold a lossy VP8 frame, a lossless one, or an animation, so the sensible processing path is decided per file rather than per extension. It is worth knowing before you overwrite an original you might need again.
What is the most common mistake when compressing WebP images?
+
Compressing the same file repeatedly. Each pass on a lossy format is a fresh generation of loss and the savings shrink while the damage accumulates. Go from the original to your target in one step, and keep the original.
What can I upload to Compress WebP?
+
Anything in the lossy raster family — JPG, JPEG, JFIF and WebP — plus the lossless formats (PNG, BMP, TIFF) if you want to mix them in one batch. The format is read from the file header, not the extension, so a photo saved with the wrong suffix still goes through.
Is there a file size limit on Compress WebP?
+
Yes: free accounts process images up to 25 MB each, which covers essentially every camera JPG and phone photo; the work is done by libjpeg-turbo and libwebp, the same libraries a desktop editor links against. Larger files are the one thing the free tier will stop you on, and the limit is per file rather than per batch.
Will Compress WebP lower the quality of my WebP images?
+
A lossy source is already the result of one quantisation pass, and any operation that has to re-encode adds a second. Where the job can be done without touching the pixel data we do that instead, and where it cannot you choose the quality factor yourself rather than getting a fixed default.
Can I run Compress WebP on several WebP images at once?
+
Yes. Drop the whole set into the upload area and they queue in parallel with identical settings — that is the main reason to do this in a browser rather than one file at a time in an editor. Free accounts run one file per batch; a pass lifts that.
Why does a EPUB site host Compress WebP?
+
EPUB.to is built around the open eBook format — XHTML in a zip, reflowable by design, and readable on hardware nobody has thought about the layout for. A book is a zip full of markup, images and fonts, so almost every job people bring to an eBook site is really a job on one of those things. Compress WebP runs on the same upload and the same account as the conversions because that is where it is needed.
What should I do with the result once Compress WebP is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves books between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, PDF and DOCX, so a title ends up on whatever hardware is actually going to read it. Doing that after Compress WebP means the conversion is made from the version you settled on, not from the one you were still fixing.
Is Compress WebP here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same toolchain, the same workers, the same limits. What a EPUB site adds is a view on reflow: which of these operations a reflowable book genuinely supports, and which ones only make sense on the fixed-layout media inside it. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: the book is a zip of XHTML with a manifest, so the text costs almost nothing and every decision that matters is about the embedded images and font subsets.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploads are deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, nothing is read and nothing is indexed. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
