Saved an image from a website and found it is a .webp your app won't open? Convert it to JPG and it will work almost anywhere.
How to use the WEBP to JPG Converter

- Press JPG to convert it.
- Save the JPG to your device.
What to expect
Fixes compatibility
Some older editors, printers and upload forms don't accept WEBP, but JPG is almost always fine.
Good quality
Images are saved as high-quality JPG files, so they stay good to look at.
No software needed
It runs in your browser on a phone or computer.
Why you keep ending up with WEBP files
Websites like WEBP because it loads quickly, so when you right-click and save an image, it often arrives as a .webp file. Your browser opens it without trouble, but other apps may not. That is when a JPG copy becomes useful.
- An older photo editor or viewer won't open the file.
- An upload form rejects WEBP.
- You want to print the image at a shop or from an app.
- You want to place it in a document or a slide deck.
WEBP and JPG compared
| WEBP | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| File size | Usually smaller | Usually larger |
| Transparency | Supported | Not supported |
| Animation | Supported | Not supported |
| Compatibility | All modern browsers, not every app | Almost everything |
What to expect from the result
Your JPG keeps the same width and height. It is saved at high quality, so it may be bigger than the WEBP you started with. Any transparent parts turn white, and only a still picture comes out of an animated file. If you need to keep transparency, convert to PNG using the image converter.
Please respect image rights
Being able to save and convert an image doesn't give you the right to reuse it. Pictures on websites usually belong to someone. For anything public or commercial, use your own images or ones that have a suitable license.

If your JPG doesn't look right
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A white background | JPG can't store transparency | Convert to PNG with the image converter |
| No movement | JPG can't store animation | Keep the WEBP, as a JPG can only hold one frame |
| Low detail | The WEBP was small or compressed to begin with | Find a larger original if you can |
| An error when converting | A damaged or unusual file | Download the image again and retry |
How to stop saving WEBP files
Websites choose which format to send you, based on what your browser supports, so you often can't avoid WEBP when saving images. Some sites offer a download button that gives you the original format, and it is worth looking for one first. Otherwise, convert the file after saving it. To convert a lot of images, select them all at once, and they will download together in a ZIP file.
Opening a WEBP without converting
If you only want to look at a picture, you may not need to convert it at all. Dragging the file into a browser window such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox will open it. Many newer image apps can open WEBP directly as well. Converting is the better choice when you need the file to work with something else, such as an upload form or a print service.
Frequently asked questions
What is a WEBP file?
WEBP is an image format made for the web. It is small, but not every app can open it.
How do I convert WEBP to JPG?
Upload the file and press JPG. The converted image downloads automatically.
What about animated WEBP files?
JPG can't animate, so use this for still images.
Are my images kept?
Your files are only used for the conversion and are deleted from the server afterwards.
Why does Windows not open my WEBP?
It depends on your Windows version and default app. Your browser can open it, and converting to JPG makes it work almost everywhere.
Will the image lose quality?
Both formats are usually lossy, so there is a small loss. High-quality settings keep it hard to notice.
Why is the JPG bigger than the WEBP?
WEBP compresses more efficiently, so the same picture takes more space as a high-quality JPG.
Can I convert several WEBP files at once?
Yes. Select several files and you get a ZIP containing the JPGs.
