How to convert WebP to JPG

Why WebP files fail to open

WebP arrived as a web format: browsers read it, but many older editors, upload forms and office suites expect JPG or PNG. A saved .webp often opens fine in a browser tab and then fails everywhere else.

Convert without uploading

Opening the image in a browser and re-saving it through a canvas gives a JPG without sending the file to a server. That is exactly what the converter on this site does: decode locally, re-encode locally, download.

When to keep WebP

For a website, keep WebP: it is smaller at the same quality. Convert to JPG when a specific app demands it, or when you need maximum compatibility.

Quality settings that matter

For photos, 80-85% is visually identical to the source. For screenshots with text, go to 90% or convert to PNG instead, since sharp text exposes JPG artefacts.
