Download a webp file and save it as jpg. Look at the size difference. I've done it many times, but suit yourself.
As has been pointed out by
Jaga Telesin already, you cannot simply compare JPEG to WEBP and vice versa. Apart from both image formats operating on very

, image composition does factor into compression ratios with the encoders for both images formats featuring a whole slew of switches to tweak results.
It depends on the image content, and the WEBP or JPEG compression level. A WEBP at 80 quality or lower tends to beat out a JPEG of equal compression.
You missed mentioning different JPEG encoders – cjpeg is outperformed by

which in turn is outperformed by

– as well as cwebp's generally underwhelming performance on very high quality settings… When talking WEBP mentioning
80 and
quality in the same sentence is kind of a bold move, in my book.
Also, also, Liz best girl!
