Why convert JPG to WebP?

Converting JPG to WebP cuts image file sizes by 25-35% at the same perceived quality. For a site that serves a lot of images - product galleries, photo blogs, news sites - that's a measurable hit to bandwidth bills and page load times. Every modern browser plays WebP natively, including Safari 14+, so the compatibility cost is essentially zero on today's web.

We decode the JPG and re-encode as WebP at Q=92, which is the visually-lossless sweet spot. The output retains every detail of the source JPG while shipping smaller bytes. JPG's original lossy losses are baked in (we can't recover what the JPG encoder discarded), but no further loss is added in WebP terms. Everything happens locally; no upload.
