Convert WEBP to JPG
Turn a .webp image into a JPG — right in your browser, with a real re-encode via canvas, not a server upload. Works with static and transparent WEBP images (animated ones convert their first frame).
Convert a WEBP File to JPG
Drop a .webp file below. Your browser decodes it natively (WEBP is universally supported), then it's re-encoded as a real JPG on a canvas — previewed here, ready to download.
Before you use this tool: The output is a still JPG with transparent areas flattened to white. An animated source becomes a still image; this tool does not preserve its animation or original metadata.

Why convert WEBP to JPG
WEBP is a modern, efficient format most web browsers and image-heavy sites use by default, but plenty of older software, some photo printers, and some apps still only accept JPG. Converting gives you a file every image tool can open, at the cost of WEBP's smaller file size.
Edge cases this tool handles
Animated WEBP
JPG can't hold animation, so only the first frame is converted — exactly what you'd get from any "export as JPG" in image software.
Transparent WEBP
JPG has no transparency channel, so transparent areas are flattened onto a white background rather than turning black.
Lossless WEBP source
Converting to JPG always introduces some compression, even from a lossless source, since that's how JPG works. The tool encodes at a high (92%) quality setting to keep this minimal.
Why Chrome and Edge save images as WEBP
When you right-click an image and choose Save image as…, the browser saves exactly the file the website sent. Most large sites and image CDNs send WEBP to any browser that says it supports it — even when the image address ends in .jpg. There is no browser setting that makes the site send JPG instead, so the practical fix is to convert after saving.
- Renaming isn't converting. Changing
photo.webptophoto.jpgleaves WEBP data inside. Some apps open it anyway; upload forms and older software that check the real format will still reject it. - A ".jpg" that won't upload may really be a WEBP with the wrong name. Drag it onto the converter above: your browser decodes it by its content, and the download is a genuine JPG.
Convert WEBP to JPG on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android
Windows: Paint
Windows 11 opens WEBP out of the box (on Windows 10, install the free WebP Image Extensions from Microsoft Store if Paint won't open it). Right-click the file → Open with → Paint, then File → Save as → JPEG picture.
Mac: Preview
Preview opens WEBP on macOS Big Sur and later. Choose File → Export…, set Format to JPEG and Save. For many files, select them in Finder and use right-click → Quick Actions → Convert Image → JPEG.
iPhone and Android
iOS 14 and later display WEBP; the Shortcuts app's Convert Image action can turn it into JPEG, or you can open this page in Safari. On Android, Chrome handles WEBP natively, so this page works directly in the browser.
Command line, batch conversion and animated WEBP
- One file:
magick photo.webp -quality 90 photo.jpg(ImageMagick 7). - A whole folder:
magick mogrify -format jpg -quality 90 *.webpwrites a JPG next to every WEBP, leaving the originals untouched. Add-background white -alpha remove -alpha offif some of them have transparent areas. - Google's own tools: libwebp's
dwebpdecodes WEBP but can't write JPG directly — it writes PNG, which you'd then convert. ImageMagick is simpler for this pair.
Animated WEBP: get a GIF instead
A JPG can only ever hold one frame, so this tool (like Paint and Preview) gives you the first frame of an animated WEBP. If you want the animation in a widely supported format, convert to GIF instead: magick animated.webp animated.gif. Expect a larger file with fewer colors — GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting WEBP to JPG upload my file anywhere?
No. The image is decoded and re-encoded entirely inside your browser using a canvas — the file never leaves your device or touches a server.
What happens to an animated WEBP?
JPG has no concept of animation, so only the first frame is converted. If you need to keep the animation, JPG isn't the right target format — consider keeping it as WEBP or converting to an animated GIF with different software.
What happens to transparency?
JPG doesn't support transparency, so any transparent areas in the source WEBP are flattened onto a white background before conversion, rather than turning black or being silently corrupted.
Will the image quality drop?
Some quality loss is inherent to any conversion into JPG's lossy compression, even from a lossless WEBP source. The tool encodes at a high quality setting (92%), which is visually lossless for almost all photos.
How do I save an image from Chrome as JPG instead of WEBP?
You can't choose the format when saving: Chrome saves whatever the website sent, and many sites send WEBP. Save the WEBP, then convert it with this page, with Paint (File > Save as > JPEG picture) or with Preview on a Mac (File > Export > JPEG).
How do I convert WEBP to JPG in Paint?
Right-click the WEBP file and choose Open with > Paint, then File > Save as > JPEG picture. Windows 11 supports WEBP out of the box; on Windows 10, install the free WebP Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store if Paint can't open the file.
How do I convert an animated WEBP so it stays animated?
JPG can't store animation, so any WEBP to JPG conversion keeps only the first frame. To keep the motion, convert to GIF instead, for example with ImageMagick: magick animated.webp animated.gif.
