WebP conversion service for legacy sites

Build a simple service that automatically converts website images to WebP format. Targeting small businesses and bloggers who want modern performance without manual work.

Why now

With browsers deprecating older formats and WebP adoption rising, there's a growing need for hassle-free conversion tools.

Who for
Small business website owners
Business model
Monthly SaaS subscription
Effort
A few weeks

Many websites still use PNG/JPG despite WebP's superior compression, because conversion tools are technical or require ongoing maintenance.

A SaaS that monitors a site's images and automatically serves WebP versions to supporting browsers, with fallbacks for older ones.

Small businesses and bloggers would pay for faster page loads without hiring developers.

MVP: A simple API endpoint that converts uploaded images to WebP with caching.

Risk: Browser support changes could make this obsolete if formats like AVIF take over.
