JPG is still widely compatible
JPG is a strong choice for photos when compatibility matters. It works across browsers, design tools, messaging apps, and older systems.
JPG uses lossy compression and does not support transparency.
WebP is useful for modern web workflows
WebP can produce efficient files and can support transparency, depending on how it is encoded. It is often useful for websites and modern apps.
It is not automatically smaller in every case, so compare actual output before replacing originals.
How ConvertZiva helps
Use JPG/PNG to WebP when preparing images for web use. Use WebP to JPG when a service or app needs a JPG file instead.

FAQ
Should all website images be WebP?
Not always. WebP is often a good option, but compatibility, source quality, and the final file size still matter.
Can JPG preserve transparency?
