What changes when you convert WebP to JPG
- JPG has no transparency, so any transparent parts of the WebP are filled with white rather than turning black.
- JPG is lossy. The Quality slider starts at 90%, which looks the same as the original for nearly every photo; lower it for a smaller file and the preview shows the new size before you download.
About WebP and JPG
- WebP is Google's image format for websites. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation, and is usually 25–35% smaller than an equivalent JPG – but some editing apps, older software and upload forms still reject it.
- JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely supported photo format. Its lossy compression keeps photos small, but it has no transparency and loses a little detail every time it's re-saved.
Tips for Chromebook
- School and work Chromebooks often block installing apps and extensions. This tool needs neither – it runs in an ordinary Chrome tab.
- Once the page has loaded, the conversion itself needs no internet connection.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose quality converting WebP to JPG?
At the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. JPG is lossy, so very low quality settings will show blur or blocky edges.
Can I convert several WebP files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like; each converts on its own, and Download all saves them in one ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using your device's own processor, so your photos never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded.
Where does the converted file go on my Chromebook?
Click Download. The file is saved to My files › Downloads.
