Add your JPG to the canvas
Place a File node on the Brainy Canvas board and upload the JPG, or connect any upstream node that outputs a JPEG.
Re-encode a JPEG into a smaller WebP for faster-loading pages without a visible quality drop.
JPG has been the default web photo format for decades, but its DCT-based compression is old and leaves size on the table. WebP applies more modern VP8 coding and, at the same perceived quality, typically produces files 25–35% smaller than JPEG — with the bonus of an optional alpha channel JPG never had. Converting JPG to WebP is a pure web-performance win for photographic content: you serve visually equivalent images in fewer bytes, improving load times and Core Web Vitals. Because the JPEG is already lossy, the practical approach is a lossy WebP re-encode tuned to preserve apparent quality while capturing the size savings. It is ideal for photo galleries, product images, and any page where speed matters.
Drop your file onto a Brainy Canvas board, connect the converter node, and download the result. New accounts get free starter credits — enough for roughly 200 image conversions — with no card required.

Feed the file into the Image Converter node and choose WebP as the target format. ImageMagick re-encodes it server-side.
A lighter WebP appears on the node in seconds. Download it or pass it into another node to resize or deploy.
Why convert
Side by side
| Attribute | JPG | WebP |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy (DCT) | Lossy or lossless (VP8/VP8L) |
| Transparency | No alpha channel | Yes (alpha channel available) |
| Typical size | Baseline | 25–35% smaller at equal quality |
| Compatibility | Near-universal support | All current major browsers |
| Best for | Legacy-safe photo delivery | Optimized modern web delivery |
| Color depth | 24-bit (8-bit/channel) | 8-bit/channel + optional alpha |
