How to convert WebP to JPG with filetidy

  1. 1

    Drop your WebP files into the box above, or click it to select them. Whole batches are fine.

  2. 2

    Set the JPG quality. The default of 90% looks practically the same as the original; lower it if you need smaller files. Location data is removed by default, and you can change the metadata setting if you prefer.

  3. 3

    Click Convert. If an image has transparent areas, they are filled with white, because JPG has no transparency.

  4. 4

    Save each JPG on its own, or click “Download all (.zip)” to get them together in one file.

What is a WebP file, and why do some sites reject it?

WebP is Google's image format for the web, first released in 2010. Its lossy mode is built on the VP8 video codec and is designed to produce smaller files than JPG at similar visual quality, which is why so many sites use it to load faster.

Support arrived unevenly. Chrome had it early, while Safari only added WebP in 2020 with version 14. Many upload systems — job portals, administrative forms, marketplaces, print shops — were built around JPG and PNG and still turn WebP away with an “unsupported file type” message.

JPG is the format those systems expect. Converting a WebP photo to JPG gives up a little of WebP's size advantage in exchange for a file that is accepted practically everywhere.

Other ways to do it

Windows

On Windows: open in Paint and save as JPEG

  1. Right-click the .webp file and choose Open with > Paint.
  2. Select File > Save as and choose JPEG.
  3. Pick a folder and name, then click Save.

Paint doesn't let you choose the JPEG quality. If it can't open WebP files at all, install WebP Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store.

Mac

On Mac: export as JPEG from Preview

  1. Open the WebP image in Preview.
  2. Choose File > Export.
  3. Set Format to JPEG and move the Quality slider to balance size against detail.
  4. Click Save. For a batch, select the files in Finder and use Quick Actions > Convert Image > JPEG (macOS Monterey or later).

iPhone & iPad

On iPhone: convert with the Shortcuts app

  1. Open Shortcuts and tap + to create a shortcut.
  2. Add Select Photos (or let the shortcut accept images from the Share Sheet).
  3. Add Convert Image and choose JPEG.
  4. Add Save to Photo Album, then run the shortcut and pick your WebP images.

Handy when an app on your phone refuses a WebP you saved from Safari. Converting on this page in Safari works too.

Android

On Android: fix a rejected upload in the browser

  1. If an app or website on your phone won't accept a WebP, open this page in Chrome.
  2. Tap the drop zone and choose the WebP files from your gallery or Downloads.
  3. Leave quality at 90% or lower it if the site has a size limit, then tap Convert.
  4. Download the JPGs and pick them from your Downloads folder when you upload again.

WebP vs JPG: what changes when you convert

Both formats use lossy compression for photos. Converting WebP to JPG means decoding the WebP and compressing the pixels again as JPG, so there is a second round of compression. At the default 90% quality the difference is very hard to see; at low settings you will notice blockiness, especially in skies, skin and smooth gradients.

The JPG is often somewhat larger than the WebP at similar quality, because WebP's compression is more efficient. That is the price of compatibility. If a site imposes a size limit, lowering the slider a little usually brings the file down without visible damage to a photo.

JPG has no transparency. Any transparent or semi-transparent pixels are placed on a white background. For logos, stickers or cut-outs where the transparent edge matters, convert WebP to PNG instead.

A simple rule: photos you need to upload, email or print go to JPG. Graphics with transparency, or anything you will keep editing, go to PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't a website accept my WebP image?

Many upload forms only allow JPG and PNG, either because they were built before WebP was widely supported or because the software behind them can't process it. Converting to JPG is the quickest fix, and the result opens everywhere.

What quality setting should I use?

Keep the default 90% when you want the JPG to look the same as the WebP. If the site has a file-size limit, try around 80% and check the result; for most photos the change is subtle. Very low settings make blocky artifacts easy to spot.

What happens to a transparent background?

It becomes white. JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels are blended onto a white background. If you need to keep the transparency, use the WebP to PNG converter.

Is the JPG lower quality than the WebP?

Slightly, in a technical sense: JPG is lossy, so re-encoding adds a small amount of loss. At high quality settings it is rarely visible. If you need an exact pixel-for-pixel copy, convert to PNG, which is lossless but larger.

Can I convert an animated WebP to JPG?

Only the first frame is converted. JPG holds a single still image, so you get a JPG of the animation's opening frame.

Does the converter keep the image's metadata?

By default it removes location (GPS) data and keeps the rest. Before converting, you can switch to keeping all metadata or removing all of it. Orientation is applied to the pixels, so the image displays the right way up everywhere.

Is it safe to convert private images here?

Yes. The conversion runs inside your browser on your own device, and the files are never uploaded. There is no account to create and no watermark on the result.
