Online tool for transforming WebP images

Through the integrated Webflow conversion utility, you can compress current image assets (JPEG, JPG, PNG, and WebP assets) by transforming them into WebP files. This process will alter the asset’s file category within both the Assets dashboard and any instances of that asset on the canvas.

Reminder: The conversion to WebP is not presently available for assets uploaded to CMS items.

Method to change current assets into WebP files

To transform assets into WebP files:

1. Launch the Assets dashboard
2. Press the “Open Assets dashboard” symbol
3. Pick the asset(s) to transform by pressing the “select” symbol displayed when hovering over an asset, or by pressing “Select all”
4. Press Compress

You may continue designing in the Creator (or decide to leave the Creator) while your assets undergo transformation. After changing your assets, ensure to publish your site again.

Crucial: When you convert existing assets to WebP, the original asset files will be substituted by the WebP asset. If you wish to retain the original image file (for instance, PNG, JPEG, etc.), make sure you create a backup initially or download them from the Asset dashboard before conversion. You cannot revert a WebP image back to its original file extension within Webflow. Nevertheless, if you mistakenly change existing assets to WebP without backing up the original files, you can access the original assets by restoring a site backup that includes the original assets.

Worth noting: You can transform numerous assets into WebP files as you like. Nevertheless, there exists a limit of 100 assets per request and a rate limit of 10 requests per minute.

Addressing issues with the WebP conversion utility

If an asset fails to convert, it may already be optimized to the fullest. You will be unable to convert entirely optimized files.
