Batch image converter to WebP
Image conversion software that processes entire folders while preserving their structure, born from a practical need and grown into a complete tool.
The starting point was simple: a recurring need that existing tools handled poorly. The goal was to convert PNG and JPEG images to WebP in order to optimise website performance.
The need
Online converters partially solved it but came with limits: free tiers cap conversion volume, and using an online service means losing control over how your images might be used afterwards.
The solution
I built a desktop tool that converts images by the folder, in batch, preserving the original directory structure, so a whole media library can be optimised in one pass, locally.
Key features
- Batch conversion of PNG/JPEG to WebP
- Whole-folder processing with structure preserved
- Runs locally, no volume caps or privacy concerns
- Lighter images for faster-loading sites
Results
Media libraries are converted to WebP quickly and privately, pages load faster, and there’s no dependency on a limited online service.
