How to use WebP to JPG

  1. 1Add your WebP files.
  2. 2Set the JPEG quality and the background colour for transparent areas.
  3. 3Press Convert and download.

How it works

Browsers can decode WebP natively, so the image is decoded, composited onto a background where it is transparent, and re-encoded as JPEG.

This is a lossy-to-lossy conversion: WebP already discarded some detail, and JPEG discards a little more. At quality 85 the second loss is not visible in normal viewing, but converting back and forth repeatedly will accumulate.

WebP is a genuinely better format for the web — smaller at the same visible quality — so the reason to convert is usually compatibility with a specific application rather than a technical improvement.

Images are decoded by the browser, redrawn on a canvas and re-encoded on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no waiting on a queue and no copy of your photos anywhere else.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not open WebP files?
WebP is well supported in browsers but still missing from some desktop editors, older photo viewers and print services. Converting to JPG sidesteps the problem.
Will the JPG be bigger than the WebP?
Usually yes, by 25–35%, because WebP compresses more efficiently at the same visible quality.
Can I convert animated WebP files?
Only the first frame. JPEG has no animation support, so an animated WebP becomes a single still image.
