About

WebP to JPG

Drop WebP pictures, saved from a web page or sent from a phone, and each is saved as a JPG at quality 80 unless you set another, for the form, app or editor that will not take WebP. Any transparency is filled with white, or with the colour you pick under Behind a JPG.

What it does

  • The names stay: holiday.webp is saved as holiday.jpg, and two of one name as holiday.jpg and holiday-2.jpg.
  • The JPG is usually larger than the WebP it came from: a 5.1 KB WebP logo came out at 6.2 KB.
  • Lossless WebP files, which store flat colour very compactly, grow the most as JPG.
  • A form’s size limit can be typed in KB, and each JPG is brought under it, made smaller only if quality alone cannot.
  • Resize on the way when a form also limits the pixels: fit within a box, scale by a percentage or set the exact size.
  • Several files go in at once, and come back one by one or in a zip.

How to use it

  1. Drop the WebP files on the window, or paste a picture.
  2. Check the colour under Behind a JPG if any of them has transparent parts.
  3. Set a size limit in KB if the place you are sending them to has one.
  4. Download the JPG, or the zip of them all.

What it does not do

  • Better quality than the WebP had: converting cannot add detail back, so the JPG is at best as sharp as its WebP.
  • Transparency in the JPG: JPG has none, so a see-through WebP that must stay so is better saved as PNG, which Save as also offers.

Questions

Why do pictures I save from websites come out as WebP?

Sites send WebP to browsers that show it, to save bandwidth, and Save image as keeps the file the browser received. Converting here gives the JPG an older program or an upload form expects.

Why is my JPG bigger than the WebP?

WebP compresses better, so the same picture needs more bytes as a JPG to look the same. Lower the quality a little, or set a size limit, if the JPG must stay small.

Can I convert WebP to PNG instead?

Yes, pick PNG under Save as. A PNG keeps the transparency and loses nothing more, at the cost of a larger file; JPG is the smaller choice for photos.

Everything here runs in your browser. Nothing you type, paste or open is uploaded, and there is no account and no queue. How that works.

  • Social Media Image Sizes: One picture cut to every size the networks ask for: the Instagram square and story, the X header, the YouTube thumbnail and the rest, in one zip.
  • Remove Metadata & EXIF: See what a photo gives away (where it was taken, the camera and its serial number, data hidden after the image) and remove what you choose, pixels untouched.
