About WebP
WebP is an image format released by Google in 2010. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation.
Websites use it to serve images smaller than the equivalent JPEG or PNG; all current browsers display it.
Some older desktop software and many print services still do not accept WebP files.
Convert WebP to JPEG online free, no account required — JPEG is the universal lossy photo format.
Change WebP to JPEG without losing quality — convert WebP to JPEG free in your browser.
Why won't the program I've used for years open my WebP images? The format only spread after 2020, so older software and some desktop apps still lack support — converting to JPG or PNG keeps them usable everywhere.
About JPEG
JPEG is the standard lossy image format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group that published it in 1992. It shrinks photos to a fraction of their raw size by discarding fine detail.
Photos from cameras and phones, images on the web and email attachments; every device and app opens it.
JPEG has no transparency, stores 8 bits per colour channel, and loses a little more quality every time it is saved again.
Why convert photos to JPG? It is the one image format every website, app and photo service accepts, and at high quality settings the loss is invisible.
What changes when you convert WebP to JPEG
- The WebP picture is re-encoded as JPEG at the default quality settings, so it looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
- JPEG cannot store transparency, so any transparent areas of the WebP are filled with a solid background colour (white, unless you choose another one in the settings).
- If the WebP is animated, only its first frame is converted to JPEG.
Settings you can change
Before you convert WebP to JPEG, you can adjust: Width, Height, Scale fit, Crop position, Never enlarge, Quality, Lossless, Progressive, Remove metadata, Auto-orient from EXIF, Rotate, and Background.

Your converted JPEG file is kept for 2 hours, then deleted.
