WebP to JPG Converter

Convert WebP images to JPG, the format almost every program, website and upload form accepts. Transparent areas get a white, black or custom background.

Runs in your browser. Your data is not uploaded.How our tools work

Note:
Animated WebP files are converted using their first frame.

At 90% or more, most images look the same as the original.

Background for transparent areas

JPG can’t store transparency, so transparent areas get this colour.

Next step

How do I convert WebP to JPG?

Select or drop your WebP files and each one is re-encoded as a real JPG in your browser at 92% quality, which looks the same as the original for most images. JPG can’t store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white, black or a colour you choose. Download the files one by one or as a ZIP.

  1. Set the JPG quality (92% is a good default) and choose a background for any transparent areas: white, black or a custom colour.
  2. Select or drop one or more WebP files.
  3. Each image is converted immediately. Check the size and dimensions, then download the JPGs one by one or together as a ZIP file.

Key features

  • A real JPG, not a renamed file

    Each WebP is decoded and saved again as JPEG, so the download opens in any program that reads JPG.

  • Transparency handled

    Transparent areas are filled with white, black or a colour you pick, instead of turning black unexpectedly.

  • Batch conversion and ZIP

    Convert up to 30 WebP images at once, add more while a batch runs, and download them all as one ZIP file.

Common uses

  • Open images saved from websites in older photo editors and viewers
  • Upload a picture to a form or portal that only accepts JPG
  • Attach images to email for recipients whose software can’t show WebP

Supported formats and limits

Input
WebP (lossy or lossless, with or without transparency), up to 40 MB each. Animated WebP: first frame only
Output
JPG, quality 50–100%
Limits
Up to 30 files at a time. Images above about 16 megapixels are scaled down to fit browser limits, with a note

Will the JPG be larger than the WebP?

Usually, yes. We saved a 12-megapixel photo taken on an iPhone 14 (4032 × 3024 pixels, 3.7 MB) as WebP with the JPG to WebP converter’s default 85% (1.9 MB), then converted that WebP back here with the default 92%. The JPG came out at 3.1 MB (3,261,408 bytes), 67% larger than the WebP, at the same 4032 × 3024 pixels. WebP compresses more efficiently, so the same picture needs more bytes as a JPG. If the JPG is too big, lower the quality a little, or run it through the image compressor afterwards.

Converting can’t bring back detail the WebP already lost, so start from the best copy you have.

When should you keep the WebP?

JPG doesn’t look better than WebP; it is accepted in more places. Converting adds a lossy step, so keep the WebP when:

  • The image is for your own website: WebP is smaller and every current browser shows it.
  • Your software already opens WebP, as recent versions of Windows, macOS and most editors do.
  • You need the transparency: JPG can’t keep it, so keep the WebP or use WebP to PNG.
  • It is your master copy: store the original and convert a copy for the form or program that needs JPG.

If a file won’t convert

The converter reads what a file really contains, not its name, and the message on its row says what it found.

  • “… is a JPG image. This tool accepts WebP files”: the file is already a JPG with a .webp name, so use it as it is.
  • “… isn’t a supported image”: the file isn’t an image at all, often a web page saved by mistake.
  • “… is incomplete”: the download was interrupted, so download the image again.
  • Files over 40 MB are refused, and images above about 16 megapixels are scaled down with a note.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert WebP to JPG?

Every current browser shows WebP, but some older software, email programs and upload forms still don’t accept it. JPG opens almost everywhere.

Is the EXIF data kept?

No. The JPG is a new file written from the pixels only, so EXIF data such as the camera model, the date and any GPS location is not carried over. Open the result in the Image Metadata Viewer if you need to be sure.

What if a file is named .jpg but is really a WebP?

Choose it anyway: the picker lists .webp files, but the converter reads the contents, so a mislabelled WebP is recognised and converted. The Image Dimensions Checker reports the real format of any image.

Is the file just renamed to .jpg?

No. The image is decoded and encoded again as JPEG, so the file really is a JPG, not a WebP with a different extension.

Does it work in Safari and on iPhone?

Yes. Safari can open WebP images and save JPG, so the conversion works in all current browsers, including on iPhone and iPad.

What about animated WebP files?

Only the first frame is converted, because a JPG holds a single still image.
