I Built a Free Image to WebP Converter (Because Smallpdf Charges $15/Month)
I was trying to convert a few PNG screenshots to WebP for a website project. You know the drill — open Smallpdf, upload the file, download.
Except I hit a wall. Only 2 tasks per day on the free tier. And if I wanted more? $15/month.
That's ridiculous for something that should just work.
So I built something better.
What this tool does
Image to WebP Converter runs 100% in your browser. No uploads. No accounts. No subscriptions.
- Drag and drop any image (PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, SVG)
- Optionally resize to custom dimensions
- Adjust quality from 10% to 100% for optimal file size
- Download as a single .webp file
- Works offline after the first load
- Your files never leave your device
Why this matters
Most online converters follow the same playbook: free for one or two tasks, then pay up. Or require an account just to use basic features. And somewhere between "upload" and "download," your files are sitting on a remote server.
For sensitive images — personal photos, work materials, product shots — that's a privacy problem.
This tool solves all three issues at once: it's free, private, and works offline.
Open and use it
No signup, no install, no tricks. Just open the tool, drop your image, and go.
