What changes when you convert JPEG to WEBP
- JPEG has no transparency, so the picture looks the same; the extra transparency support in WEBP simply stays unused.
- Your JPEG is a still image, so the WEBP will also be a still image.
- JPEG is lossy and WEBP is not. The conversion cannot bring back detail that JPEG already discarded, so the file can grow without looking better.
- Photos usually get smaller when saved as WEBP.
