How to compress a WebP
Three steps.
Drop your WebP files in
Still or moving, one or many.
Pick a word on the slider
Smallest to Original. The engine re-encodes at full effort and checks the result.
Hit Squish
Smaller files appear under new names. Files that can’t be beaten are left alone, with a note.
WebP that got lazy on the way out
Plenty of WebP files in the wild were converted quickly: default settings, no per-image tuning, sometimes from an already-lossy source. Modern WebP encoding does much better when it’s allowed to try.
That’s the whole job here: re-encode each file at full effort, compare the result with the original, keep it only if it’s genuinely better. Moving WebP files keep their frames and timing.
Good to know
- Moving WebP stays moving.
- Never-bigger promise applies: no result worse than the source is delivered.
- Runs offline on your machine.

Questions, answered
Can WebP get much smaller than it already is?
Often, yes. Files converted by hasty tools commonly shrink another 20 to 40%. Files made by good encoders shrink less, and the app says so honestly.
Is it really free?
Yes. It costs nothing, needs no account, and whole batches run one after another. Every input format and the full quality engine are included. If you point it at a really big collection you’ll eventually meet the free limit; Pro ($9 once) removes it and adds a watch folder, or you can simply come back tomorrow.
Does it upload my photos anywhere?
No. Everything happens on your computer. There is no account, no cloud, no watermark, and it works fine offline.
Even the small files get smaller.
