What is WebP?
WebP is an image format that Google introduced in 2010 for the web. Its lossy mode is based on the VP8 video codec, and it also has a lossless mode, an alpha channel for transparency and support for animation. Because it produces smaller files than JPG and PNG at similar quality, many websites now serve WebP automatically, which is why images you save from the web often end up as .webp files.
Why convert WebP to JPG or PNG?
Every current web browser displays WebP, but plenty of other software still does not handle it well. Older photo editors and office suites, some email clients, print shops, online forms and certain messaging and social apps may refuse a WebP upload or show it as an unknown file. JPG and PNG are understood by practically everything, so converting is the quickest way to make an image usable.
JPG or PNG: which should you choose?
| Your WebP is… | Save as | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A photo | JPG | Small file, universal support |
| A logo, icon or sticker with a see-through background | PNG | Keeps the transparency |
| A screenshot, chart or illustration with text | PNG | Keeps edges sharp |
| Lossless WebP you will keep editing | PNG | No quality is lost at all |
File size after converting
WebP is more efficient than the formats you are converting to, so the result is usually larger than the WebP it came from. A lossy WebP photo saved as JPG at 92% may grow noticeably, and a PNG version of a photo grows much more. That is the cost of compatibility, not a fault. If size matters, lower the JPG quality to 80–85%, or run the result through the Image Compressor.
Keep in mind that a lossy WebP has already discarded some detail. Converting it to JPG adds a second, small round of compression. At 90% or higher the difference is very hard to see, but avoid converting the same picture back and forth repeatedly.
Animated WebP
WebP can hold animations, much like GIF. JPG and PNG are still-image formats, so an animated WebP is converted to a single frame: the first one. If you need the full animation in another format, you will need a dedicated video or GIF tool.
How to stop images saving as WebP
Websites choose the format they send, often based on what your browser says it supports, so you usually cannot pick JPG when saving. Converting afterwards, as on this page, is the reliable fix. For other conversions, such as AVIF or GIF to WebP, use the general Image Converter.
All conversions run locally with your browser's own decoder and encoder. Your images are never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting WebP to JPG lose quality?
Slightly, because JPG is lossy too. At the default 92% quality the difference is not visible. Choose PNG if you need a perfect copy of the WebP’s pixels.
How do I keep the transparent background of a WebP?
Choose PNG as the output format. JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas would be filled with the color you pick.
Why is the JPG larger than my WebP file?
WebP compresses more efficiently than JPG, so the same picture usually takes more space as a JPG. Lower the quality a little if you need a smaller file.
Can I convert an animated WebP?
Only its first frame is kept, because JPG and PNG cannot store animation.
Do I need to install anything to open WebP files?
No. Any modern browser can display WebP, and this page converts them without any software or upload.
