Quick answer: Open the free Image Converter, tap WebP → JPG (or WebP → PNG to keep transparency), add your images and click Convert. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
WebP images are everywhere on the web, but the moment you save one and try to upload, edit or send it, something refuses to open it. Converting to JPG or PNG fixes that in seconds. Here is how to do it on any device, and which format to pick.
What is a WebP file?
WebP is an image format created by Google for the web. It makes pictures noticeably smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality and supports transparency and animation, which is why so many websites now serve images as WebP. The downside is compatibility: some older apps, editors and upload forms still accept only JPG or PNG.
Should you convert WebP to JPG or PNG?
| Choose | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| JPG | Photos, social posts, email, most upload forms | Smallest file for photos and opens everywhere |
| PNG | Logos, icons, screenshots, images with transparency | Keeps sharp edges and see-through backgrounds |
| Keep WebP | Images for your own website | Smallest size and supported by all modern browsers |
Converting a transparent WebP to JPG fills the see-through areas with a solid colour. Our converter lets you choose that background colour, white by default.
