Why convert WebP to JPG?
- Compatibility. Most desktop editors, social uploaders, and print tools read JPG without complaint; WebP support is still patchy outside browsers.
- Smaller toolchain friction. No "this file type isn't supported" dialogs when sending a photo over email or attaching to a doc.
- Better for hand-off. Designers and clients on older Adobe versions, Word, PowerPoint — they all open JPG natively.
Note: WebP is usually smaller than JPG, so the file size will go up after conversion. Worth it for compatibility, but don't expect savings.
How it works
- Use the converter above. No signup required.
- Drop your WebP files. Drag and drop one or more WebPs into the upload box (up to five files, 20 MB each).
- Choose JPG as the output. Pick JPG from the dropdown.
- Convert and download. Click Convert; download links appear for each JPG as it finishes.
Good for
- Photos downloaded from modern websites that ship WebP by default.
- Sending images to social platforms or services that reject WebP uploads.
- Print, presentations, or any place where "just give me a JPG" is the safest answer.
FAQ
Why convert WebP to JPG? Mostly compatibility. WebP is widely supported in browsers, but a lot of desktop image editors, social-media uploaders, print services, and older mobile apps either don't read WebP or only handle it imperfectly. Converting to JPG sidesteps every one of those snags.
Will I lose quality going from WebP to JPG? A small amount, yes. Both formats are lossy, so the JPG re-encodes the already-decoded WebP and adds a second compression pass. For most photos the difference is invisible at typical quality settings — but it's not free.
What happens to WebP transparency? JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent pixels become solid white in the output. If you need to keep transparency, convert to PNG instead — the WebP → PNG converter preserves the alpha layer.
Does this convert animated WebPs? Only the first frame. JPG is a single-frame format. If you need to keep the animation, convert to GIF instead.
Is the WebP to JPG converter free? Yes. No signup, no watermark, no payment. Free for personal and commercial use.
