How It Works

Optimizing your images for the modern web takes just three steps.

1. Add Images

Drag & drop your JPG or PNG files into the converter. Your files stay offline on your device.

2. Adjust Settings

Choose your preferred quality level. Smaller files mean faster websites and better SEO.

3. Convert Locally

Your browser generates WebP files via the Canvas API. Download them instantly without server delay.

Clean & Optimize Images with WebP

Convert JPEG and PNG images into lightweight WebP for faster websites — fully private, processed directly in your browser. Reduce file size significantly while keeping visual quality high.

The Power of WebP Optimization

Large image files are the number one cause for slow websites. WebP provides superior compression, saving up to 80% of data. By processing images locally, Privacy Share ensures your media never touches the cloud.

Eco-Friendly Digital Footprint

Reducing image sizes lowers bandwidth consumption and data transfer energy. Our client-side technology avoids unnecessary server energy usage, making your web development workflow greener.

Squoosh, CloudConvert, TinyPNG & Privacy Share — Honest Comparison

Looking for a way to convert images to WebP? Squoosh, CloudConvert and TinyPNG are all solid, well-known tools — but each makes a different tradeoff between privacy, batch convenience, and format support. Here is an honest comparison for 2026.

Quick Answer

Privacy Share and Squoosh are the only two tools here that are 100% client-side — your images never leave your device. CloudConvert and TinyPNG are reputable, EU-based companies, but both upload your file to their servers, even if only temporarily. Privacy Share is the only option that combines zero-upload processing with batch conversion and a single ZIP download.

Squoosh

Best for: Power users who want to manually fine-tune compression settings — quality sliders, codec choice, and a before/after comparison view — for a single image at a time. Built by Google Chrome Labs and open-source.

Watch out for: Squoosh has no built-in batch mode: you compress one image, download it, and repeat for every file. There is no ZIP export for multiple images.

CloudConvert

Best for: One-off conversions across many different file formats — not just images — when you don't mind uploading your file.

Watch out for: Your file is uploaded to CloudConvert's servers for processing (temporarily stored, transmitted via SSL). The free plan is capped at roughly 10–25 conversions per day; regular batch use requires a paid subscription.

TinyPNG

Best for: Developers who want excellent smart-lossy PNG/JPEG compression, especially via the Tinify API in a build pipeline.

Watch out for: The main web tool uploads your images to TinyPNG's servers, where they are stored for up to 48 hours before deletion. The free web tool also has no ZIP download — you download each result individually.

Privacy Share

Best for: Batch-converting and resizing JPG/PNG images to WebP entirely offline in your browser, with a single ZIP download at the end — no account, no upload, no daily limit.

Tradeoff: Only converts to WebP (not AVIF, JPEG-XL, or other formats), and there is no manual per-image codec comparison view like Squoosh's.

GDPR considerations for EU users

Unlike our other tools, GDPR hosting-location isn't the main differentiator here — Squoosh, CloudConvert and TinyPNG are all reasonably privacy-conscious. The bigger question is whether your image ever leaves your device at all:

  • Privacy Share: Servers in Friedersdorf, Germany — but more importantly, images are never transmitted anywhere. Processing happens entirely in your browser via the Canvas API.
  • Squoosh: Same zero-upload architecture as Privacy Share. Open-source, built by Google Chrome Labs, no server-side processing at all.
  • CloudConvert: German company (Lunaweb GmbH), GDPR-compliant with ISO 27001 certification — but your file is uploaded and briefly stored on their cloud infrastructure during conversion.
  • TinyPNG: Netherlands-based (EU) — also GDPR-native, but the web tool uploads and stores your image for up to 48 hours before automatic deletion.

Which one should you use?

  • Converting a batch of product photos to WebP with one ZIP at the end? Privacy Share.
  • Fine-tuning a single hero image with pixel-level quality comparison? Squoosh.
  • Need PDF, video, or document conversion too, not just images? CloudConvert.
  • Already using TinyPNG's API in your build pipeline? Stick with TinyPNG/Tinify — no reason to switch a working pipeline.
  • Want a guarantee your images never touch any server? Privacy Share or Squoosh — both are 100% client-side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Privacy Share upload my images to a server?
No. All conversion happens locally via your browser's Canvas API. Your files never leave your device.
How is this different from Squoosh?
Both are 100% client-side, but Privacy Share supports batch-converting up to 20 images at once with a single ZIP download, while Squoosh is designed for fine-tuning one image at a time.
Why not just use CloudConvert or TinyPNG?
Both are reputable, EU-based services, but they require uploading your file to their servers, even if only temporarily. If you'd rather your images never leave your device, Privacy Share or Squoosh are the better fit.
Is there a daily limit on conversions?
No. Since processing happens in your browser rather than on our servers, there is no server-side quota to hit.
What image formats can I convert?
JPG and PNG to WebP, with adjustable quality and optional resizing.
Will converting to WebP reduce image quality?
You control the quality level (30–100%). WebP compresses more efficiently than JPEG or PNG at equivalent visual quality, which is why files shrink by up to 80%.
