Convert WebP to JPG
Drop in your WebP files and download JPGs. The work happens on your machine, so the images are never uploaded.
Conversion happens inside this page using your browser's own image engine. Your files are never uploaded.
How to use it#
- Drop your WebP files onto the box above, or click it to pick them.
- Adjust the quality slider if you want a smaller file or a sharper one.
- Download each JPG, or take the whole batch at once.
When JPG is the format you are being asked for#
Saving an image from a website now usually hands you a .webp file, and plenty of places will not take one. Job application forms, older photo editors, print portals and a surprising number of internal systems still list JPG and PNG and nothing else.
JPG is the format with the fewest arguments attached. If the image is a photograph and it needs to go somewhere you cannot control, converting is faster than working out why the upload failed.
Two rounds of lossy compression#
Most WebP files are already lossy, and JPG is lossy too, so the conversion compresses an image that has been compressed once before. At the default quality this is hard to spot on a photograph, and much easier to spot on a screenshot, where the second pass adds fuzz around small text.
Keep the quality slider high if the picture has text or hard edges in it. If you only need a thumbnail or an email attachment, drop it and take the smaller file.
Transparent pixels become white#
JPG has no alpha channel, so transparency has to be resolved into a colour before encoding. This tool paints white underneath, which is what most people want when a logo is going into a document or a slide.
That change cannot be reversed afterwards, so convert to PNG instead if the transparency is the point of the image. A WebP logo destined for a coloured background should stay transparent.
Frequently asked questions#
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
#
No. Each file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent over the network at any stage.
Will the JPG look worse than the WebP?
#
Slightly, because the image is being compressed a second time. At the default setting the difference is invisible on a photograph at normal viewing size. Screenshots and text-heavy images show it sooner, so keep the slider high for those.
What happens to a transparent background?
#
It is filled with white, because JPG cannot store transparency at all. Convert to PNG if you need to keep the alpha channel.
Does it work with animated WebP files?
#
You get a JPG of the first frame. JPG has no animation, and the browser decoder only exposes a single frame, so keep the original if you need the movement.
Is EXIF data carried over?
#
No. Re-encoding through the canvas drops metadata, so the JPG you download has no camera details or GPS coordinates attached.
