Why convert a JPG to WEBP?
WEBP was built for the web: at the same visual quality it typically comes in noticeably smaller than a JPG, which means faster page loads if you're uploading product photos, blog images, or a portfolio.
Every modern browser renders WEBP natively, so the only real reason to stay on JPG is if you're feeding the file into older software that never added WEBP support — otherwise it's a straightforward size win.
