Launching WebP Converter
I built WebP Converter because converting images to WebP was taking more effort than it should.
Most tools I tried had limits, paywalls, or required uploading images to a server. I just wanted something fast, free, and simple that ran locally in the browser.
So I built a small tool that:
Converts JPEG and PNG to WebP
Keeps high visual quality
Runs entirely client-side
Has no limits, sign-ups, or uploads
It’s intentionally boring. It does one job and gets out of the way.
If you build websites and care about performance, I’d love for you to try it and let me know what could be better.
The "intentionally boring" framing is actually a strong positioning choice. So many tools try to be everything and end up being frustrating for the one thing you actually need.
Client-side processing is underrated. No upload means no waiting, no privacy concerns, and it works offline. That's a real advantage over most alternatives.
One thing I'm curious about: have you considered adding drag-and-drop for folders? Batch converting a whole directory of images is usually where the friction lives for me. Interested to hear if that's on the roadmap or if you're keeping it deliberately single-file focused.
