Why convert JPEG to WEBP?
JPEG is universally supported but uses outdated compression technology. WebP achieves the same visual quality as JPEG with 25-35% smaller file sizes, significantly improving website performance and reducing storage costs. WebP is now supported by 97%+ of browsers, making it a smart upgrade from JPEG for modern web projects.
