WebP to JPG Converter

Drop a WebP image into the box, or click to browse, and press Convert & Download. You get a JPG with the same pixel dimensions as the original.

The conversion happens in your browser, so the image is never uploaded to our server. Files up to 128 MB are supported.

Why you end up with WebP files

Most websites now serve images as WebP because the files are smaller and pages load faster. That's why "Save image as" in your browser so often gives you a .webp file, even when the site's original was a JPG.

Browsers open WebP without any trouble. A lot of other software is less forgiving:

  • Older versions of Photoshop (native WebP support only arrived in 2022)
  • Some print services and photo labs
  • Upload forms that only accept JPG or PNG
  • Online marketplaces
  • Older photo viewers

JPG opens almost everywhere, which is why it's still the safe format for sharing.

What changes when you convert

Transparency is lost. WebP can have transparent areas; JPG can't. Any transparent parts are filled with a solid background. If you need to keep transparency, for a logo or product cut-out for example, use WebP to PNG instead.

Animation is lost. WebP can be animated like a GIF, but a JPG is a single still image. Converting an animated WebP gives you one frame.

The image is compressed a second time. Most WebP images use lossy compression, and so does JPG. Converting means decoding the WebP and compressing it again. At normal viewing sizes you usually won't see a difference, but repeated conversions between lossy formats slowly add artifacts, so convert once and keep that copy. Converting also can't bring back detail that was lost when the WebP was created.

The file usually gets bigger. WebP compresses photos noticeably better than JPG, often a quarter to a third smaller at similar quality. A 200 KB WebP turning into a JPG of around 270–300 KB is normal, not a sign that something went wrong.

Screenshots and graphics suffer most. JPG is designed for photos. Text, sharp lines and flat colors pick up blurry edges and speckles. For screenshots, diagrams and logos, PNG is the better target.

Metadata may not carry over. Camera details, GPS location and similar metadata usually aren't copied into the new file. That's often a plus if you're sharing the image publicly.

Should you convert the images on your own website?

No. Every current browser supports WebP, so there's no compatibility reason to switch your site back to JPG, and doing so makes pages heavier and slower to load. Convert only the copies you need to use somewhere else.

Going the other way, JPG to WebP converts photos for your site. The Image Compressor shrinks files you've already got.

FAQ

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, and we never see or store your images.

Is there a size limit?

Each file can be up to 128 MB, far larger than almost any WebP image you'll come across.

Will the JPG look worse than the WebP?

For most photos, not noticeably. You're more likely to see a difference on images with text, sharp edges or large areas of flat color, which is why PNG is the better choice for those.

Why is the JPG larger than the WebP I started with?

JPG is an older format and needs more data to store the same image at similar quality. The bigger file is expected.

What's the difference between JPG and JPEG?

None. They're the same format. The shorter .jpg extension comes from old versions of Windows, which only allowed three-letter file extensions.

Can I convert WebP to JPG on my own computer?

Yes, with the free ImageMagick tool:

  • One file: magick input.webp output.jpg
  • A whole folder: magick mogrify -format jpg *.webp

Note: All processing is done client-side. We do not store or see your data.
