How to convert WebP to JPG
Images saved from websites are often WebP, because browsers load it fast. But plenty of apps, older versions of Office and Windows tools, and upload forms still refuse it. JPG opens everywhere.
- Add your WebP images: drop them on the box above, or press Choose WebP images. Add as many as you like.
- JPG is already selected. Set the quality, and the background colour for any transparent areas.
- Each file converts straight away on your device. The list shows the size before and after.
- Press Download for one file, or Save all for a ZIP of them all (on a phone, Save all shares them so you can save to Photos).
WebP vs JPG
| WebP | JPG (JPEG) | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Images on websites | Photos |
| Transparency | Yes | No |
| Compression | Lossy or lossless, usually smaller than JPG and PNG | Lossy: small files, some detail thrown away |
| Opens in | All current browsers; some older apps, Office versions and upload forms refuse it | Everywhere: every phone, computer, website and upload form |
Good to know
- Transparent parts of a WebP become the background colour you choose.
- Animated WebP files convert their first frame only.
- Quality 90 keeps the look of the WebP. The JPG is often a little bigger than the WebP, since WebP compresses better.
- Nothing is uploaded. Your images are read, converted and saved in this browser tab, and camera details and GPS location are not copied into the new file.
Questions
Why do images I save from websites end up as WebP?
Many sites serve WebP because it is smaller than JPG at the same quality, so pages load faster. The browser saves the file in the format it received.
Is WebP to JPG lossless?
Not exactly: JPG is lossy, so the image is compressed again. At quality 90 the change is very hard to see.
Does it work with animated WebP?
It saves the first frame as a still JPG.
