First, the thing most people arriving on this page actually want to know: .jpeg and .jpg are the same format. There is no difference in the file contents, the compression, or the quality. The three-letter version exists because early versions of MS-DOS could not handle file extensions longer than three characters, and the habit stuck. Windows software tended to write .jpg, while Mac and Unix tools were free to write .jpeg.
That means you do not need a special .jpeg converter. This tool reads the file contents rather than trusting the extension, so a .jpeg, a .jpg, and a JPEG file with no extension at all are handled identically.
Converting to WebP typically reduces a JPEG by 25-40% at equivalent visual quality. The saving is more modest than for PNG because JPEG has already discarded a great deal of data — WebP is simply a newer codec that stores the remainder more efficiently.
If you specifically need the output named .jpg rather than .jpeg, note that renaming the file extension is harmless for this format. Nothing inside the file needs to change.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between JPEG and JPG?
Nothing. They are the same format with two spellings of the extension, a leftover from when MS-DOS limited extensions to three characters. Any software that opens one opens the other.
Do I need to rename .jpeg to .jpg before converting?
No. The tool inspects the file contents rather than the extension, so either spelling works, as does a file with no extension at all.
How much smaller will the WebP be?
Typically 25-40% at matched visual quality. A JPEG that was saved at very high quality has more room to improve than one already compressed hard.
Can I convert many files at once?
Yes. Drop a folder in and every JPEG inside it is queued, processed in parallel, and available as a single ZIP download.
