FAQ

Why is the image I saved from a website a WebP I cannot open?

WebP is Google's format — smaller than JPG, and now used by most sites. But some older Windows photo viewers, older Office versions, print shop systems, and upload forms still do not recognise it. Converting to JPG is the simplest fix.

Will WebP to JPG look worse?

Both formats are lossy, so re-encoding means a theoretical second loss. Above quality 85 it is generally imperceptible. If the source WebP was already heavily compressed, converting will not improve it, but it will not noticeably degrade it either.

What about a WebP with a transparent background?

Transparent areas become white, because JPG has no alpha channel. Use WebP to PNG if you need to keep transparency.

Why you end up with a WebP you cannot open

WebP is Google's image format — smaller than JPG, and now used by most websites to speed up loading. So when you right-click and save an image from a page, what lands on disk is often a .webp file. The trouble is that the world outside the browser has not fully caught up: some older Windows photo viewers, older Office versions, print shop layout systems, and certain upload forms still do not recognise it, so the file will not open on a double-click and gets rejected on upload. Converting it to JPG is the simplest universal fix.

How much the second encoding costs

WebP and JPG are both lossy, so converting from one to the other re-encodes the image and, in theory, adds a second loss. But at quality 85 or above that loss is essentially invisible. It helps to remember that conversion cannot improve the picture — if the source WebP was already heavily compressed and blocky, the JPG will not rescue it, only repackage it into a format that opens. If the original has a transparent background, converting to JPG fills the transparency with white; use WebP to PNG when you need to keep it.
