Compress WebP without losing quality

Squeeze WebP files even further while keeping them visually identical to the source.

Identical to the original, verified pixel by pixel

WebP is already an efficient modern format, but exported WebP files are often encoded conservatively and still have room to shrink. We measured it on three images: a WebP saved at quality 90 gave up another 36 to 47 percent here, with an average pixel difference of about 1.5 out of 255 brightness levels. Saved at quality 80 it gave up 19 to 35 percent, and a lossless WebP gave up 60 to 94 percent.

Compresso re-encodes each file at the sweet spot between size and fidelity, then verifies the result pixel by pixel, so the image you download looks exactly like the one you uploaded.

This is ideal for web performance: smaller WebP means faster Core Web Vitals and less bandwidth, with no visible quality cost. If a smaller version can't be produced without crossing the visual line, the original is returned unchanged — you never lose.

Drop up to 20 WebP files, see the savings per file, and download individually or as a ZIP. Processing happens in memory and files are deleted instantly.

Measured: a WebP exported at quality 90 still gives up 36 to 47 percent with no visible change. What shrinks, what does not, and why.

Frequently asked questions

Often yes. Many WebP exports are encoded conservatively. Measured on three images saved at quality 90, the savings were 36 to 47 percent. When a file is already optimal, Compresso returns it unchanged rather than degrading it.

It depends on the quality used at export. In our tests: 36 to 47 percent for files saved at quality 90, 19 to 35 percent at quality 80, 7 to 18 percent at quality 75, and 60 to 94 percent for lossless WebP. In every run, 99 percent of pixels changed by 15 of 255 brightness levels or less.

No. Each pass compares the result with what you uploaded, not with the original photo, so repeated passes drift. Measured on one photo: after the first pass the average pixel difference was 1.54, after the third it was 2.44. Compress the best copy you have, once.

Static WebP is fully supported. Animated WebP is not compressed in this version.

Yes. The format is preserved — a compressed WebP comes back as WebP.
