Detailed Features of Magento 2 WebP Images Extension
What Are WebP Images?
Boost Website Performance
Improve Search Engine Exposure
Compress Image Size to Half
Automate Image Conversions to WebP
Compatible With Multiple Browsers
Supports 3 Conversion Tools
Exclude Folders From Advanced Image Optimization
Enable Lazy Loading
WebP is an image file format for the web that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images. Since heavy images are often the reason for slow loading websites, WebP images overcome this as they are considerably smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP is Google’s preferred format for web images.
The Magento 2 WebP extension helps you adopt this futuristic image optimization technique for reducing image sizes and improving page load speed without compromising its quality.
The conventional image formats are bulky which reduces the loading speed of your websites that leads to under performing web pages and content. Configure Magento 2 WebP once to convert images to WebP format that loads instantly with the same quality.
WebP typically achieves an average of 30% more compression than JPEG and PNG 2000, without losing image quality.
Website loading speed and performance are the key factors for ranking higher in search engines. The advanced image optimization to WebP format loads the visual content faster than ever thus improving your website exposure in search engine result pages.
Image compression was not considered a good practice as it used to distort or pixel out images. By converting the usual image formats to WebP, you can compress them up to half of their size without affecting picture quality. You can choose a quality level between 1 and 100. You can also run a conversion test to preview the quality and size of any image by providing the image ID.
Converting every image to WebP is hard if you go manual, but automating it with Magento 2 WebP extension simplifies the job. Automate the conversion process and convert thousands of images to WebP format in a matter of seconds. You can choose any of the two conversion methods:
- Convert to WebP on Page Load
- Use CLI command: fme:convert:webp
Magento 2 WebP is using a smart method of converting original image formats to WebP on the updated versions of browsers. However, it shows the original images – without conversion – to the users coming through the old versions of browsers such as Internet Explorer and Safari that are not WebP image optimization ready.
The extension supports 3 conversion tools. You can choose any of the following for converting images to WebP format:
- GD
- cwebp
- Imagick
You can make the extension skip any or multiple folders from advanced image optimization. Add folders to the field and the relevant images will load in their original formats.
Reduce the load time of your web pages by enabling lazy loading as it shows limited visual content at the initial stage and displays more upon user scrolls. Make use of this feature if you have lots of images on your web pages.
Practical Use Cases of Magento 2 WebP Extension
1. Automatic WebP Conversion on Image Upload
Use Case:
When store admins upload new product images (daily or in bulk for new collections), the extension automatically converts those images into WebP format instantly during the upload process.
Value:
Ensures every new product is optimized from the moment it goes live, no manual compression or extra steps required.
2. Bulk Image Conversion for Existing Catalog
Use Case:
For existing Magento stores with thousands of legacy product images in JPEG or PNG, the store owner can run a bulk conversion process to convert the entire media library into WebP format.
Value:
Quickly modernizes an old image library without re-uploading or editing individual products.
3. Compatibility with Third-Party Image Upload Sources
Use Case:
When images are added through third-party integrations (ERP systems, PIM tools, dropshipping feeds, or marketplace imports), the extension automatically detects and converts those images into WebP format.
Value:
Keeps the entire catalog optimized even when images are not manually uploaded through Magento admin.
4. Dynamic WebP Delivery Based on Browser Support
Use Case:
When a customer visits the store, the extension automatically serves WebP images to supported browsers while falling back to original formats for unsupported ones.
Value:
Ensures universal compatibility without breaking layouts or affecting user experience.

3Support could have been quick
The extension worked smoothly after installation. However, I had to wait 3-4 hours to get a response from the support team with regard to my question. This was during office hours.
