KeepPixels uses Google's libwebp encoder, compiled to run in your browser. Your images are never uploaded, and the location in photos is removed by default.
Why WebP?
WebP was developed by Google for the web. It compresses better than JPG and PNG and supports transparency, so pages load faster without the images looking worse – something visitors notice and search engines measure.
| JPG | PNG | WebP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| File size for photos | Small | Very large | Smallest |
| Transparency | No | Yes | Yes |
| Lossless mode | No | Yes | Yes |
| Shown by browsers | All | All | All current ones |
When to use WebP
- Photos and banners on your own website or online shop.
- Product pictures for platforms that accept WebP.
- Graphics with transparency that would be large as PNG.
Need the opposite? WebP to JPG converts WebP files for programs that can’t open them. To shrink files further, resize the images as well.

Frequently asked questions
How much smaller is WebP than JPG?
At a similar visual quality, a WebP is usually noticeably smaller than a JPG and much smaller than a PNG. How much depends on the picture – the result list shows the saving for every file.
Lossy or lossless?
Lossy for photos: quality 80 looks like the original at a fraction of the size. Lossless for logos, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges – it keeps every pixel and is often still smaller than PNG.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. WebP supports transparency in both modes, so PNG logos keep their transparent background.
Do all browsers support WebP?
All current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari show WebP. Some older programs and upload forms still accept only JPG or PNG.
What happens to the photo details?
The location is removed and the other details are kept, unless you choose otherwise.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
