Free WebP to JPG Converter
This free tool converts WebP images to JPG in your browser. It is the conversion people reach for when a WebP saved from a website will not go into an email, a marketplace listing or a document.

WebP files — add as many as you like
Runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to a server.
How it works
- Drop the WebP above, or paste one straight from your clipboard.
- Choose a quality if you want to. Anything above about 80 is visually identical to the original for a photograph.
- Download the JPG. If the WebP had a transparent background, you will see it has become solid, which is a limit of JPG rather than of the conversion.
Common use cases
- Attaching an image to an email that a recipient on an older Outlook can actually see.
- Uploading to eBay, Etsy or a job application form that only accepts JPG or PNG.
- Getting a saved web image into software that predates WebP support, which includes a lot of installed desktop applications.
- Sending a photo to a print service, where JPG remains the default and WebP is often refused outright.
- Sharing with somebody on an older phone, where a WebP arrives as a file they cannot open.
Frequently asked questions
- Why did I end up with a WebP in the first place?
- Because you saved an image from a website. Google introduced WebP in 2010 and it now serves most images on the modern web, since it is roughly 25 to 34 percent smaller than an equivalent JPG. Browsers all read it, so websites use it, and the file lands in your downloads folder in a format the rest of your computer may never have been taught about. That gap between what browsers support and what desktop software supports is why this page exists.
- What happens to a transparent background?
- It is filled in, because JPG has no way to store transparency. Every transparent pixel is composited onto a solid color, so a logo that floated cleanly over anything now arrives on a rectangle. If your image has transparency and you need to keep it, convert to PNG instead. If you did not realise it had any, this is how you find out.
- Am I losing quality twice?
- If the WebP was lossy, yes, though rarely enough to see. The WebP already discarded some detail, and the JPG discards a little more from what remains. That is generation loss, and it compounds only if you keep going: converting once at high quality is fine, converting back and forth repeatedly is how images end up looking soft and blocky. Keep the WebP as your original and treat the JPG as a copy for sending.
- Will the JPG be bigger?
- Usually, by something like a third, because you are giving up exactly the efficiency that made websites adopt WebP. That is the price of a file everything can open. If size is what you care about and compatibility is not, keep the WebP.
- Is there any reason to keep using WebP?
- For anything you publish yourself, absolutely. It is smaller at the same quality, every current browser reads it, and smaller images make pages load faster, which visitors and search engines both notice. WebP is the right format for the web and the wrong one for emailing your mother.
- Where does the conversion happen?
- In your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and the tool works the same with your connection turned off.
