How to make a WebP image smaller — step by step

  2. The puffin will shrink it in a split second — no settings needed!
  3. Check the before-and-after preview to make sure your picture still looks great.
  4. Hit "Save Your Image" and you're done! Your smaller WebP is ready to use.

Why are my WebP images still so large?

WebP was designed by Google to be lighter than JPG, PNG, and GIF. But here's the thing — many popular design tools and website builders accidentally save WebP images at the highest possible quality. That means your "modern, lightweight" pictures can actually be surprisingly heavy. If your website is loading slowly or Google PageSpeed is complaining, oversized WebP images are often the hidden culprit.

Animated WebP images can be even trickier. Each frame adds to the size, and before you know it, a short animation is several megabytes. Our friendly puffin fixes all of this. It smartly squeezes your WebP images down to a fraction of their size while keeping them looking sharp — you honestly won't see the difference. Working with a whole folder of WebP files? Just drop them all in — we'll shrink every single one and zip them up for a fast bulk download. And because everything happens right here on your device, your personal photos and private work pictures are never sent anywhere. We couldn't see them even if we tried!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with animated WebP images?
Absolutely! Animated WebP images are a great modern alternative to GIFs. Our puffin will shrink each frame of your animation to make the whole thing much lighter — without breaking the loop or making it look choppy.
Why is my WebP image so big in the first place?
Some design programs save images at the highest quality by default. That's great for editing, but it makes your WebP pictures much heavier than they need to be. Our tool fixes that in one click — just drop your image and the puffin takes care of the rest.
Will this ruin the see-through parts of my image?
Not at all! If your WebP image has a transparent background (like a logo or icon), we keep it exactly as it is. Your see-through areas are completely safe.
I don't know what settings to pick. Will I break something?
Don't worry at all! Our puffin already picked the best settings for you automatically. Just drop your picture and click "Make it smaller" — that's it! You can always tweak things later if you'd like, but the defaults work great for most people.
Should I compress WebP images before uploading to WordPress or Shopify?
Definitely! Even though WebP is already efficient, many images exported from design tools are saved at unnecessarily high quality. Compressing before upload means your pages load faster, your Core Web Vitals improve, and your visitors have a smoother experience.
