About WebP to JPG

Where WebP files come from

WebP is what most websites send to save bandwidth, so saving an image from a browser often gives a .webp file. Older versions of Microsoft Office, many upload forms, and some photo apps reject it. JPG works almost everywhere.

What changes

  • Transparent areas become a solid colour (white unless you choose another), because JPG has no transparency.
  • An animated WebP becomes a still JPG of its first frame.
  • Metadata inside the WebP is not copied. Colour stays the same; WebP and JPG are both standard colour on the web.
  • The JPG is usually larger than the WebP, because WebP compresses better.

Measured

Our 12-megapixel sample photo saved as WebP, converted at the High setting in Chrome on a laptop. Phone timings are still to be measured.

In your browser

Every current browser reads WebP and writes JPG itself, so nothing extra is downloaded and conversion starts at once.

Limits

  • Animated WebP gives only the first frame.
  • Very large images may be reduced to about 16 megapixels on iPhones, whose browser can't draw more at once. The result says so.

Questions

Why do images I save from websites end up as WebP?

Most websites now send WebP because the files are smaller. When you save the image, you get the WebP file, which some apps, upload forms, and older programs can't open.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your device. We never upload them.

What happens to transparent parts?

JPG can't be see-through, so transparent parts are filled with white by default. You can choose black or any other colour. To keep transparency, convert to PNG instead.

Does it work with animated WebP?

Only the first frame is converted, because JPG holds one picture. The result tells you when an image was animated.

Does converting lose quality?

At the High or Best setting the difference is hard to see. Converting can't add back detail the WebP already lost.

Is there a limit?

No daily limit and no watermark. Convert as many images as you like; the only limit is your device's memory.
