WebP to JPG converter

How to convert WebP to JPG

1. Add your images. Drag WebP files onto the box above, tap Choose files, or paste an image you copied from a web page.
2. Pick the quality. 90% suits almost everything; go higher if you will edit the image, lower for smaller files.
3. Download. Save each JPG with the button next to it, or tap Download all for a zip.

Files in another format are listed with a short reason and a link to the right converter, and the rest of the batch carries on.

What is a WebP file?

WebP is an image format Google introduced in 2010 for the web. It compresses photos about a quarter to a third smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality, and unlike JPEG it can also hold transparency and animation, and compress losslessly like PNG. Every current browser displays it, which is why so many websites now serve WebP, and why the picture you just saved from a website is a .webp file.

The trouble starts away from the browser: an older photo editor, an upload form that only accepts JPG and PNG, an office document, a printing service or a photo frame may not take it. That is when you need to convert it.

Why convert WebP to JPG?

Because JPG opens everywhere: in the photo editor that still refuses WebP, in the upload form of a marketplace or a job board, in a Word document, at the print counter, on an old PC or photo frame. JPG is also the right format for photos that do not need transparency. If the image is a logo or has a transparent background, convert to PNG instead, which keeps it.

What the JPG keeps, and what it leaves out

• Kept: the full picture at its original size.
• Left out: transparency, which becomes white, and animation, of which only the first frame is kept.
• Quality: both WebP (usually) and JPG are lossy, so the image is compressed a second time. At 90% the difference is invisible for almost every picture; use 95% or 100% if you plan to edit it further.

Other ways to convert WebP to JPG

Your images stay on your device

Your browser decodes WebP natively, so there is nothing to download: the files are read from your disk, redrawn as JPG in memory and saved to your downloads folder. No server ever receives your files, and nothing is kept once you close the page. It is the same promise we make in our iPhone app, PrunePic: it reviews your photos on the iPhone itself and never uploads them.
