To convert WebP to JPG, drop the file in, click Convert to JPG, and download the result. JPG opens in every app and upload form. It works in your browser, so the image is never uploaded.
Why do people convert WebP to JPG?
WebP files save space, but they can be a headache after you download them from a website.
- An editor or older version of Photoshop won't open the .webp file.
- An upload form, print service, or marketplace only takes JPG.
- You want to send a picture to someone whose device can't display WebP.
- You need one plain format for a whole folder of images.
How to convert WebP to JPG
- Click Select File, or drag your WebP image into the drop zone.
- Click Convert to JPG.
- Check the preview, then click Download to save the JPG.
What changes when WebP becomes JPG
JPG can't store transparency, so see-through parts of your image turn white. The picture is saved at 92 percent quality, which looks the same as the original for most photos.
The JPG can come out larger than the WebP, because WebP compresses more efficiently. If you need the transparent background, use WebP to PNG instead. To shrink the JPG, run it through Image Compressor.
Tips and common problems
- Your download is .webp even though you wanted JPG. Some sites serve WebP no matter what. Convert it here, then upload the JPG.
- A WebP animation becomes a single still picture.
- Want to go the other way for a website? JPG to WebP makes photos lighter for the web.
Our article on why websites reject WebP explains what's going on behind these errors.
WebP or JPG: a quick comparison
- WebP files are usually smaller and support transparency, but some older apps can't open them.
- JPG files are a bit larger and have no transparency, but nearly everything can open them.
- If a site or a program complains about your WebP, converting to JPG is the simplest way forward.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a WebP file into a JPG?
Drop the WebP file here, click Convert to JPG, and download the picture. There's nothing to install.
What happens to transparency in a WebP?
JPG has no transparency, so those areas are filled with white. To keep them see-through, convert to PNG instead.
Will the JPG be bigger or smaller than the WebP?
Often bigger, since WebP is a very efficient format. That's normal.
Is there a visible quality loss?
Usually not. The JPG is saved at a high quality setting, and most people can't spot a difference without zooming way in.
Can I use this on a Mac?
Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, and other browsers on any computer or phone.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. It's converted in your browser and stays on your device.
