If you need the best quality possible, select the option with the words “Maximum quality”. Please keep in mind that depending on the settings, it might take the WEBP converter a longer time to process your files.

How to Change Size When Converting to WEBP
Watermarkly allows you to convert to WEBP and change the size of your files at the same time. There’s no need to switch between the apps for this. More to that, you can enter a specific number for width or height or change both pixel dimensions. Additionally, it is possible to make an image smaller or bigger by a certain percent. Let’s take a look at the resizing options that our WEBP converter offers.
Do not resize
If you don’t want to change the size of your images, then this is the option for you. If you select it, you will get processed copies of the same size as the originals after converting to WEBP.
Exact Width
With this option, you’ll be able to change the width of your image. In other words, you enter a specific number of pixels for the width that the image needs to have after you convert to WEBP. The height will be changed automatically. On the right side of the settings, you will see the size of the original image and what size the processed version will have.
Exact Height
This options works pretty much the same as the previous one, except that instead of width, you enter a specific number for the height. The width will then be changed automatically. This option and the previous one are perfect if your image already has the necessary aspect ratio.
Exact Width and Height
If you want to change both pixel dimensions after you convert to WEBP, this option is for you. Here, you can enter the exact number of pixels for both the height and the width. Please note that your new pixel dimensions might produce the aspect ratio that is different from the one that the original image has. For example, if you enter 1000x1000px, that’s a square, which is a 1:1 aspect ratio. And your original image has the 2:3 aspect ratio. So, the aspect ratios are different. This is why you will need to choose what you want the WEBP converter to do – it can crop your image to the new aspect ratio. It can also generate pixels or add white pixels around the image to obtain the required size and aspect ratio.
Not Larger Than
This option allows you to enter a new number of pixels for both height and width. However, the WEBP converter won’t resize the image to these exact numbers. Instead, it will resize your image so that its pixel dimensions aren’t bigger than what you have entered. For example, if you enter 1000x1000px, your image can be resized to 1000x750 px after converting to WEBP. This is a great option if there is a certain size limit that you need to meet. For example, if you want to post your WEBP images on a website or a social media platform.
Percentage
If you want to convert to WEBP and make your images smaller or bigger, but you don’t have specific pixel dimensions in mind, you can use this option. Here, you can make your entire image bigger or smaller by a certain number of percent. By default, your original image is 100%. You can enter 85 percent, which means that your converted image will be smaller than the original by 15%. The aspect ratio of your image will stay the same.
