Why Convert PDF to WebP?
WebP is Google's modern image format designed specifically for the web. It delivers superior compression, faster loading times, and better user experience compared to traditional formats.
25-35% Smaller Files
WebP achieves significantly better compression than JPG while maintaining equivalent visual quality. Smaller files mean faster page loads.
Faster Page Loads
Smaller image files directly translate to faster website loading. This improves user experience and can boost your SEO rankings.
Transparency Support
Unlike JPG, WebP supports alpha channel transparency while still being smaller than PNG. Perfect for logos and graphics on any background.
Universal Browser Support
WebP is now supported by all major browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. Over 97% of users can view WebP images natively.
Lossy & Lossless Modes
WebP offers both lossy compression (like JPG) for photos and lossless compression (like PNG) for graphics. One format, maximum flexibility.
CDN & Cloud Ready
All major CDNs and cloud platforms support WebP natively. Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud all optimize WebP delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WebP format and PDF to WebP conversion.
What is WebP and who created it?
expand_more
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google in 2010. It was designed specifically for the web, offering both lossy and lossless compression in a single format. Google created WebP to make the web faster by reducing image file sizes without sacrificing quality.
Is WebP supported by Safari and iOS?
expand_more
Yes! Safari added WebP support in version 14 (September 2020), and iOS 14+ fully supports WebP. As of 2024, WebP is supported by all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera, with over 97% global browser support.
How much smaller are WebP files compared to JPG?
expand_more
WebP images are typically 25-35% smaller than equivalent quality JPG files. For lossless compression (like PNG), WebP files are about 26% smaller. The exact savings depend on the image content — photos with lots of detail see the biggest improvements.
Can I use WebP for images that need transparency?
expand_more
Absolutely! WebP supports full alpha channel transparency (like PNG) while maintaining much smaller file sizes. This makes WebP excellent for logos, icons, product images on white backgrounds, and any graphics that need transparent areas.
Should I still provide JPG/PNG fallbacks for WebP?
expand_more
For most modern websites, WebP-only is now acceptable with 97%+ browser support. However, if you need to support very old browsers or specific enterprise environments, you can use the HTML <picture> element to serve WebP with JPG/PNG fallbacks. Most CDNs handle this automatically.
Does WebP support animation like GIF?
expand_more
Yes, WebP supports animation and does it much more efficiently than GIF. Animated WebP files are significantly smaller than equivalent GIFs while supporting true color (millions of colors vs GIF's 256). This makes WebP a great GIF replacement for web animations.
Can Photoshop and other tools open WebP files?
expand_more
Photoshop 23.2+ (2022) natively supports WebP. For older versions, Google provides a free WebP plugin. Most modern design tools like Figma, Sketch, GIMP, and online editors now support WebP. Windows 10/11 and macOS also display WebP natively in their file browsers.
What DPI should I use for web images?
expand_more
For web use, 72-150 DPI is typically sufficient. Screens display at 72-96 DPI, so higher resolution provides no visible benefit on-screen but increases file size. Use 150 DPI for a balance of quality and size, or 72 DPI for maximum compression when smaller files are priority.
