Why convert JPG to WebP?

JPG (JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)) — The most-used lossy format on the web. Excellent quality/size ratio for natural photos, but doesn't support transparency.

WebP (WebP (Google)) — Modern format from Google, roughly 25–35% lighter than JPG for equivalent quality. Supports transparency, animation, and both lossy and lossless modes.

Converting JPG to WebP typically reduces file size while preserving a visual quality close to the original.
