How to Open WebP Files and Save Them as JPG or PNG

Websites deliver images as WebP because the files are small and pages load fast. When you save such an image, you get a .webp file that some apps, editors and upload forms refuse.

Open the WebP to JPG tool → Free, nothing is uploaded

Open a WebP file

  • Any browser — drag the file into Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
  • Windows 11 — Photos opens WebP; older Windows versions may need the free Webp Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store.
  • Mac — Preview opens WebP on recent macOS versions.

Convert WebP to JPG or PNG

  1. Open WebP to JPG (or WebP to PNG to keep transparency).
  2. Drop the files onto the page.
  3. Download the converted images.

Animated WebP? Use WebP to GIF to keep the animation.

Avoid getting WebP in the first place

Some sites send WebP only to browsers that ask for it. Saving the image from a different browser rarely helps; converting is usually quicker.

Frequently asked questions

JPG or PNG — which should I convert WebP to?

JPG for photos (smaller files), PNG for logos, screenshots and anything with a transparent background.

Will I lose quality?

Converting to PNG is lossless. JPG at 90% quality looks the same as the WebP for practically every photo.
