What happens when you convert WebP to JPG
| Compression | Lossy or lossless → Lossy |
|---|---|
| File size | Usually larger for photos |
| Transparency | Not supported: transparent areas get the background colour you pick (white by default) |
| Animation | First frame only |
| Metadata | EXIF, GPS location and camera data are not copied to the new file |
| Opens in | every browser, phone, editor, printer and upload form |
Sizes are typical values; your files will vary with content and settings.
WebP Web Picture format
WebP is Google's web image format. It supports both lossy and lossless compression plus alpha transparency, and typically produces files 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG at similar visual quality. Every current browser displays it.

JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format. Its lossy compression discards detail the eye is less sensitive to, which makes photos small enough for email, upload forms and print services that accept nothing else.

Saved an image from a website and got WebP?
Most large sites now serve WebP to save bandwidth, so right-click › Save image gives you a .webp file. Photo printers, older Office versions and many upload forms still reject WebP. Converting to JPG fixes that. Pick a quality around 85 to 92 percent to keep the file small without visible artefacts.
Why convert WebP to JPG?
WebP files mostly arrive when you save an image from a website, because Chrome and most large sites now serve WebP instead of JPG or PNG. Older desktop software, some print shops and many upload forms still reject it. Choose JPG when the file has to be accepted everywhere: upload forms, email, print shops and older software.
WebP to JPG settings
Use the quality slider to balance size against detail; 80 to 90 percent is a good default for JPG. Pick a background colour to replace transparent areas. Animated WebP files are converted using their first frame. You can also cap the width and height, which resizes large photos in the same step.
Frequently asked questions
Will the JPG lose quality?
Both formats are lossy, so converting re-encodes the data once more. Using a high quality setting keeps the generational loss very small. Avoid converting the same file back and forth repeatedly.
Is transparency kept when converting WebP to JPG?
JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a solid colour. White is used by default; you can pick any background colour in the options before converting.
Will the JPG be smaller than the WebP?
No, usually larger for photos: as a rough guide, the JPG comes out at around 1.1× the size of the WebP, depending on the quality setting.
