A simple drag-and-drop utility for creating smaller, website-ready images
Convert Images to WebP in Seconds on Your MacWebP is now a standard part of modern web development. It produces substantially smaller files than traditional formats such as JPEG and PNG while maintaining excellent visual quality.
The format is easy to use once the image has been converted. The annoying part is often the conversion itself.
You can open a large graphics application, search for the correct export option, adjust several settings, and choose an output folder. Alternatively, you can upload the image to an online converter, wait for it to process, and download the result again.
For a routine task, both approaches involve more work than necessary.
That is why I created 2webp.
Drop an Image. Get a WebP File.
2webp is a focused image converter for macOS. Drop your images into the app and convert them directly to WebP.
There is no complicated export dialog and no need to work through tools intended for image editing. The app concentrates on one job: creating efficient WebP images for websites, apps, and other digital projects.
It is useful for:
- Website images
- Blog and article illustrations
- Product photos
- App assets
- Documentation
- Social preview images Whenever an image needs to be delivered efficiently online, WebP is usually a sensible choice.
Everything Happens on Your Mac
Online converters can be convenient, but every uploaded image is transferred to somebody else’s server.
That may not matter for a random screenshot. It can matter for unpublished product images, customer material, internal documents, or assets from a project that has not yet been released.
2webp performs the conversion locally on your Mac. Your images do not need to leave your computer, and the app does not require an account or subscription.
Just open it, drop in your files, and create the converted images.
Smaller Images Make Better Websites
Large image files are one of the most common causes of unnecessarily heavy web pages.
Smaller files can improve:
- Page loading times
- Mobile browsing
- Bandwidth usage
- Storage requirements
- Overall website responsiveness A single optimized image may not transform an entire website. But when every article, product page, or gallery contains multiple images, the savings quickly add up.
The best optimization tools are often the ones that are simple enough to become part of your regular workflow.
A Small Tool for a Repetitive Job
2webp is not intended to replace an image editor. It removes the need to launch one when all you want is a WebP version of an existing image.
No account. No upload. No subscription. No unnecessary workflow.
Just drag, drop, and continue with your project.
2webp is available for macOS on the [Mac App Store**](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/2webp/id6756757652).**
You can find 2webp and more focused Mac utilities at Beaver Tools.
