Convert WebP to JPG
Turn a .webp picture you saved from the web into a JPG that any program or upload form accepts. Free, no signup.
Higher keeps more detail and makes a bigger file. 85 suits most pictures.
Leave both empty to keep the original size. Set one or both and the picture keeps its proportions; with both, it is fitted inside that box.
Why that picture saved as .webp
WebP is Google's image format, and most websites now serve their pictures in it because the files are roughly a quarter to a third smaller than the JPG or PNG they replace. When you right-click a picture and save it, you get whatever the page sent, which is why a photo that looked like a JPG lands in your downloads folder ending in .webp. Browsers show it without any trouble. The trouble comes afterwards, in older editors, office programs, print services and upload forms written before WebP existed, which refuse the file.
Transparency, colour and what is left behind
A WebP can have a see-through background and a JPG cannot. If your file has one, the converter fills the see-through parts with solid white, so a transparent sticker or logo comes out as a picture on a white rectangle. If you need to keep the transparency, do not use JPG: open the image converter and choose PNG, which keeps it. The colour profile is carried into the JPG when the WebP has one. Extra details stored in the WebP, such as camera data, are not copied across.
An animated WebP gives you one still
WebP can also hold an animation, which is how many chat stickers and many of the moving pictures saved from websites are stored. A JPG cannot move, so an animated file becomes a single still picture, its first frame, and nothing on the page warns you that the other frames were dropped. If you wanted the movement, this is the wrong page, and note that this converter does not write GIF either.
Choosing the quality
WebP and JPG are both lossy, so going from one to the other compresses the picture a second time. The slider starts at 85. If the WebP was saved at a modest quality, pushing the JPG to 95 does not bring back detail that is already gone; it only makes a bigger file of the same picture. If the WebP is lossless or a high-quality original, 90 is a good setting. Expect the JPG to be larger than the WebP, sometimes by a lot, because WebP compresses better. Our guide to opening a WEBP file explains the format and which programs still cannot read it.
How to convert WebP to JPG
- Drop the .webp file on the box above, or click it and choose the file. One file per conversion, up to 50 MB.
- Look at the quality slider, which starts at 85. Raise it for a picture you plan to edit or print, lower it to fit a size limit.
- Press Convert to JPG. The file goes to our server and comes back as a real JPG; a preview under the button shows what you got.
- Save it. The download starts by itself with the same name and a .jpg ending, and the link under the preview is there in case your browser blocked it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I just rename the .webp file to .jpg?
No. Renaming changes the name, not what is inside, so you would have a WebP with the wrong ending. A few programs notice and open it anyway, many do not, and an upload form that checks the real type of the file will still refuse it. Converting rewrites the picture as a true JPG.
Will the JPG look worse than the WebP?
Slightly softer detail is possible, because the picture is compressed a second time. At 85 most people will not see it at normal size; at 90 to 95 it is very hard to find. The file will usually be bigger than the WebP, which is the price of a format everything can open.
Can I convert a lossless WebP without losing anything?
Not into JPG, which is always lossy. For a lossless result choose PNG in the image converter: a lossless WebP converted to PNG gives back exactly the same pixels, including any transparency, though the file will be larger.
Why did my animated WebP turn into a still picture?
Because a JPG cannot hold an animation. The converter keeps the first frame and drops the rest. If you need the movement, keep the WebP, or work from the original video: the video to GIF tool makes a GIF from a clip.
Is the conversion done on my device?
No. The WebP is uploaded to our server, converted in memory and sent back, and we keep no copy. That is why a very large file takes a while on a slow connection. The limit is 50 MB per file.
Which programs and sites still refuse WebP?
Mostly older software: Photoshop and Office versions from before 2022, GIMP before 2.10, and Windows 10 without a free extension, plus many upload forms and marketplaces that only list JPG and PNG. The guide to opening WEBP files gives the details.
