Add up to 30 WebP images (up to 50 MB each) and convert them to PNG, JPG or AVIF. Auto, the default, encodes each image as PNG and JPG and keeps the smaller file, and uses PNG whenever the image has transparency; choose AVIF yourself when you want it. JPG and AVIF use the quality slider (10 to 100, default 85), and PNG is lossless. Animated WebP files are converted from their first frame, and everything runs in your browser.
Convert WebP images to PNG, JPG or AVIF
WebP is Google's image format for the web. It compresses well, but many programs outside the browser can't open it. This converter turns WebP files into PNG, JPG or AVIF, whichever suits where the image is going.
Why you have WebP files
Many websites, and the image services and CDNs behind them, serve WebP automatically because it loads faster. When you save images from those sites, you get WebP files, which don't work everywhere.
The WebP compatibility problem
Some email clients, especially older Outlook versions, show WebP images only as attachments. Some content management systems and website builders reject WebP uploads, some social and shopping sites refuse them, older Microsoft Office versions can't insert them, and print services and photo labs usually want JPG. Older software and devices may not recognize the format at all.
How to convert WebP to PNG, JPG or AVIF
- Add your WebP files by dragging them in or clicking to browse.
- Choose PNG, JPG or AVIF, or leave the output on Auto.
- For JPG and AVIF, set the quality. PNG ignores it because it's lossless.
- Download the converted images one by one or as a ZIP.
Which output format should you choose?
PNG: lossless quality and transparency
Choose PNG when the WebP has transparency you need to keep, when you will edit the image further, when it has text, sharp edges or flat colors, or when you need an exact copy for printing or design work. PNG files are larger than WebP, often several times larger for photos.
JPG: maximum compatibility
Choose JPG when the image goes into email, documents or older systems, when a platform has strict format rules, or when you don't know what software the recipient uses. JPG is lossy and has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white, black or a color you pick. At quality 90 to 95 the change from the WebP isn't visible for most images.
AVIF: even smaller files
Choose AVIF when you want files smaller than the WebP and your audience uses current browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari 16.4 or later). Some older browsers and many desktop programs can't open AVIF, so keep a fallback. AVIF keeps transparency.
Quality and file size
Converting WebP to PNG keeps the image exactly as the WebP shows it, but the file gets much bigger, because WebP compresses more efficiently. Detail a lossy WebP already lost can't be restored.
Converting WebP to JPG adds a little lossy compression of its own. The JPG may end up larger than the WebP at similar quality, since JPG compresses less efficiently; quality 80 to 85 keeps the size reasonable.
Converting WebP to AVIF usually gives a smaller file at similar quality, but encoding takes longer. Keep the WebP as a fallback for browsers without AVIF support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose image quality converting WebP to PNG?
No. PNG is lossless and keeps the image exactly as the WebP shows it. If the WebP was saved with lossy compression, the detail it lost then can't come back, but nothing further is lost.
Does converting WebP to JPG increase file size?
It can. WebP compresses more efficiently than JPG, so the JPG may be larger than the WebP at similar quality. Lower the quality slider to 80 to 85 to keep the size down.
Can I preserve transparency when converting WebP?
Yes, by converting to PNG or AVIF, which both keep the alpha channel. JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a solid color (white by default, or black or a custom color). Auto picks PNG for images with transparency.
What should I do with animated WebP files?
The converter takes only the first frame and saves it as a still PNG, JPG or AVIF. To keep the animation, keep the WebP file or use a tool that converts animations.
Can I convert WebP files on my phone?
Yes. The converter works in mobile browsers on iPhone and Android. Pick WebP images from your photo library or files app and download the results, with no app to install. The conversion happens on the phone itself.
