Convert WebP to JPG: what to know
Pictures saved from websites often arrive as WebP, which many editors and upload forms reject. WebP is a modern format from Google that is smaller than JPG and PNG and also supports transparency. JPG is the most widely supported photo format, with small files and adjustable compression.
What changes when you convert WebP to JPG
- Both WebP and JPG are lossy formats, so converting re-compresses the data once more. Choose the highest quality setting to keep the loss invisible, and keep your original file.
- WebP can contain transparency, but JPG cannot. Transparent areas are filled with a solid background colour.
- Expect a larger file. WebP is a more efficient format, so the same picture as JPG typically takes about 1.3 to 2 times the space.
