Should you convert WEBP to JPG?

You saved an image from a website and it came down as WebP — which your editor, print shop or upload form won’t accept. JPG solves that in one step.

A safe conversion when JPG is what you need: both WEBP and JPG keep every pixel, so the picture itself doesn’t change.

JPG is also the more widely supported of the two: it opens everywhere, while WEBP is opens in current browsers and apps.

WEBP is a web image format that can be lossy or lossless, with transparency and animation; JPG is a lossy photo format that trades detail you can’t see for much smaller files. Use JPG for photographs you are sending, uploading or printing, especially when a form or app is fussy about formats.

How to convert WEBP to JPG

  1. 01

    Add your WEBP

    Drop your WEBP image onto the box, or click to choose it. It is read from your disk and stays there.

  2. 02

    Check the settings

    The output is already set to JPG. Change the quality if you want to; the defaults suit most files.

  3. 03

    Save the JPG

    Press convert and save the JPG. Several files come back together as a ZIP.

What changes when WEBP becomes JPG

JPG can’t hold transparency

Any transparent area in the WEBP has to become a solid color, because JPG has no alpha channel. The background setting decides which color; white suits documents and most uploads, but pick the color of the page it will sit on if you know it, because it can’t be undone later.

Animations become a still

JPG can’t move, so an animated WEBP is saved as its first frame. Choose GIF or APNG instead to keep the animation.

Expect a larger file

JPG generally takes more room than WEBP. If the file has to fit an upload limit, check the size once it’s converted. WEBP: Typically 25–35% smaller than the same JPG. JPG: A 12-megapixel phone photo is usually 2–5 MB.

Why it doesn’t upload

Changing a picture’s format is work your browser already knows how to do. Sending your photos to a server first only adds waiting and risk, so nothing is sent.

How to check for yourself

Worth knowing

  • About the WEBP. Images saved from websites arrive as WEBP even when the page looked like it showed a JPG, and then a document editor or upload form refuses them.
  • About the JPG. Re-saving a JPG again and again degrades it, because each save compresses the already compressed version. Keep an original and export to JPG once, at the end.
  • DDS, PSD, EXR, XWD and JPEG 2000 are read by the FFmpeg engine, a one-time 31 MB download.

Questions

Why do images I save from websites turn into WebP?

Sites serve WebP because it loads faster, so “Save image as” gives you the WebP the site delivered. Converting to JPG gives you a file every app and form understands.

Will converting WEBP to JPG lose quality?

JPG is lossy, so some detail is discarded. The quality slider decides how much; the default of 90 is chosen so the difference is invisible in almost every photo.

What happens to a transparent background when converting WEBP to JPG?

JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the background color you choose, white by default.
