WebP to JPG

Why convert WebP to JPG

• The National Testing Agency (NTA) requires the photograph for the JEE (Main) 2027 application in JPG/JPEG format, between 10 kB and 200 kB.[1]
• The US Department of State requires digital photographs for visa applications in JPEG format, not more than 240 kB.[2]
• To view WebP images in Windows apps, you must install Microsoft's WebP Image Extensions.[3]
• Safari supports WebP from version 14, and on a Mac only with macOS 11 or later. Older Apple devices cannot open WebP images.[4][5]

How to convert

1. “Convert to JPG” is already selected in Step 1. For a smaller file, please lower the quality.
2. In Step 2, choose or drag in your WebP files. You can add several at once, and conversion starts automatically.
3. In Step 3, check the results and download one image, or all images as a ZIP file.

What changes after converting WebP to JPG

• JPG does not support transparency. Transparent areas of the original are filled with the colour chosen in Step 1 (white by default).[6]
• The JPEG standard covers still images only. If the original is animated, only the first frame is kept.[7]
• The converted image does not contain the shooting information (EXIF) of the original, such as the date, camera model and location. The image is turned upright according to the orientation recorded in the original.

Frequently asked questions

Do all websites refuse WebP images?

No. Many websites accept WebP. Whether you need to convert depends on the requirements of the website you are uploading to. Please check the accepted file formats stated on that website.

What colour do transparent backgrounds become in JPG?

JPG does not support transparency. Under the HTML standard, a web page that exports such an image directly places transparent areas on a black background, which is why some tools produce a black background. This tool first fills the background with the colour chosen in Step 1 (white by default), then exports the image.[6][8]

What quality setting should I use?

Set the quality in Step 1. The range is 10–100, and the default is 90. A higher value gives better quality and a larger file. If the upload has a size limit, lower the quality and check the converted size in the list in Step 2.

Is the JPG file larger or smaller than the original WebP file?

According to Google, lossy WebP images are 25–34% smaller than JPEG images of the same quality. The JPG file is therefore usually larger than the original WebP file; you can lower the quality in Step 1. The size of each file before and after conversion is shown in the list in Step 2.[9]

Can I convert several images at once?

Yes. You can select or drag in up to 100 images at a time. When all images are converted, you can download them one by one or together as one ZIP file.

About the WebP format

• Google released WebP in 2010. Its specification is IETF RFC 9649. WebP supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation.[10][11]
• According to Google, lossless WebP images are 26% smaller than PNG images. Lossy WebP images are 25–34% smaller than JPEG images of the same quality (measured by SSIM).[9]
• Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari can all display WebP. Safari supports it from version 14; on a Mac, macOS 11 or later is also required.[6][4][5]
• Microsoft provides WebP Image Extensions. After installing it, you can view WebP images in File Explorer, Photos and other Windows apps.[3]
• The web canvas in Safari cannot export WebP. In Safari, web-based tools can usually export only JPG and PNG.[12]
