WebP
Good at
- 25–35 % lighter than JPEG at comparable quality
- One format instead of three: lossy and lossless, transparency, animation
- Supported by every browser released after 2020
Awkward about
- Older software and devices will not open it
- Some editors still cannot save to it
Use it when
- Images for the web — the main case
- Replacing JPEG, PNG and GIF with a single format
Good at
- Looks the same everywhere: fonts, margins and line breaks are fixed
- The one format any office will accept without argument
- Holds text, vectors and photographs in a single file
Awkward about
- Hard to edit: it is a format for reading, not for changing
- Weight depends on what is inside — a scanned page can weigh as much as a book
- Text inside a scan stays a picture until something recognises it
Use it when
- The document is being sent, printed or filed somewhere official
- The layout must not shift on someone else’s device
- Loose pages need to become one file
Common questions
- Does the file get uploaded to a server?
- No. WebP → PDF runs right in your browser and the file never leaves your device. It only goes to a server if the browser cannot cope — and then we delete it within a couple of hours.
- Will transparency survive?
- Yes, PDF supports transparency, so semi-transparent edges stay as they were.
- Can I get the original quality back afterwards?
- Yes, PDF supports lossless compression, so you can go back to the original.
- How many files, and how large?
- Up to 50 files at a time, 50 MB each. No sign-up, no watermarks.
