WebP to JPG

Websites hand out WebP pictures because they are small; half the rest of the world still cannot open them. This door converts one WebP to a JPG, the format everything opens, here in your browser. The one real change is stated before you run: WebP can be see-through and JPG cannot, so transparent parts are painted over a colour you pick (white unless you change it). A whole folder at once is the batch convert page; the reverse trip is JPG to WebP.

For one WebP that has to open somewhere WebP cannot go: an older editor, a print queue, a portal, a document.

What changes

The reach changes, and the dimensions do not. The picture is re-encoded as a JPG that older programs and portals can open. If your WebP has see-through parts, they are painted over the colour below, because JPG cannot hold transparency; the result line says when that happened.

See-through parts become

JPG cannot hold see-through pixels. If your WebP has transparent parts, they are painted over this colour when it converts: white, unless you pick another. The result line says when this happened.

Higher keeps more detail and more bytes. 90 is a good all-round setting.

How it works

The WebP is decoded by the open-source jSquash codecs, any transparency is painted over your colour, and the picture is written as a JPG at your quality, the same engine the batch convert page runs. The first run loads the image program (about 2 MB, one time only). The download is how we protect your privacy: the program comes to your device and does the work there, so your file never leaves it.

Honest limits

You are trading efficiency for reach: the JPG will usually be the bigger file, and the conversion is a fresh lossy write, so keep the WebP if it is your master copy. Animated WebP is read as its first frame only; this door is for still pictures.

Questions

Why can some programs not open my WebP?

WebP is a younger format than JPG. Browsers read it happily, which is why websites serve it, but older editors, some print queues, office programs and a few portals still refuse it. JPG is the format everything opens, which is the whole point of this door.

What happens to the transparent parts?

WebP can hold see-through pixels; JPG cannot. Any transparent part of your WebP is painted over a colour you pick at the tray (white unless you change it), and the result line says when this happened. If the transparency matters, the WebP to PNG door keeps it.

Will the JPG be bigger than the WebP?

Usually, yes: WebP is the more efficient format, so the same picture at a similar quality tends to weigh more as a JPG. The result line prints both sizes, so the trade for compatibility is never silent.

Where does my file go?

Nowhere. It is decoded, re-encoded and offered back to you inside this page. Nothing is uploaded.
