About WebP → JPG conversion

WebP was developed by Google and released in 2010, based on the VP8 video codec. Google's motivation was straightforward: the web needed a modern image format that could serve high-quality photos at significantly smaller file sizes than JPG, replacing the aging JPEG standard that had been in use since 1992. WebP achieves 25–35% smaller file sizes than JPG at the same visual quality using more advanced compression algorithms. It also supports transparency (like PNG), animation (like GIF), and both lossy and lossless compression modes — making it a versatile format for web use.

Browser support for WebP is now essentially universal. Chrome added WebP support way back in 2011. Firefox added support in version 65 (2019). Safari — historically the holdout — added WebP support in version 14 (2020). Edge has supported WebP since its Chromium-based rebirth. By 2021, all major modern browsers supported WebP natively, and it became the default format served by Google, Facebook, YouTube thumbnails, and countless CDN-optimized websites worldwide.

By 2021, all major modern browsers supported WebP natively, and it became the default format served by Google, Facebook, YouTube thumbnails, and countless CDN-optimized websites worldwide.

Despite this, WebP compatibility outside the browser remains an ongoing frustration. Older versions of Photoshop (before CC 2023) require a third-party plugin to open WebP files. Lightroom versions prior to Classic 12 and Creative Cloud 2022 do not support WebP import. Microsoft Office applications on Windows cannot insert WebP images natively. Many online print services, stock image platforms, and document workflows only accept JPG or PNG. And macOS Preview — while it can display WebP since macOS Big Sur — sometimes fails on certain WebP variants with extended metadata.

The most common way users end up with WebP files is by right-clicking and saving images from websites. Chrome, Firefox, and Edge often save images in the browser's preferred format rather than the original — and since most major sites now serve WebP, you frequently get a .webp file when you expected a .jpg. This surprises users who then can't open the file in their usual applications.

Converting WebP to JPG solves the compatibility problem completely. JPG is supported by every operating system, every image editing application from the last 30 years, every email client, every print service, and every social media platform.

Tips: For photographs and web images, convert at 85–92% quality for the best balance of file size and visual fidelity. For images you plan to edit, consider PNG instead of JPG — it is lossless and avoids the accumulated compression artifacts that occur when a JPG is re-saved multiple times. Converter.Plus converts WebP files entirely in your browser, with no upload, no server, and no account.
