Convert webp image files

The modern web image format. Smaller than JPG at the same quality, with transparency like PNG. A container for VP8, VP8L or AV1 compressed image data, optionally with animation. Google designed it specifically for the web. That is the format you end up with when something needs to look the same on every screen, which is why it keeps turning up in speeding up a website without visibly hurting the pictures. From here it can become PDF, PNG, JPG and ICO, and the conversions run on your own device, so the file is never uploaded anywhere.

    About the format

    The modern web image format.

    A container for VP8, VP8L or AV1 compressed image data, optionally with animation. Google designed it specifically for the web.

    Where it is good
    • Roughly 30% smaller than JPG at the same perceived quality
    • Supports both lossy and lossless, plus transparency and animation
    • Supported by every current browser
    Where it falls short
    • Older software — some print workflows and email clients still refuse it
    • Not accepted by most government and banking upload forms
    • Encoding a large batch takes noticeably longer than JPG

    Web developers, e-commerce sites, performance-conscious publishers

    The thing people miss

    A WEBP can be smaller than the JPG it was made from *and* keep the transparency the JPG never had.

    Questions

    WEBP conversion questions

    How do I convert WEBP to another format?

    Add your webp image file to the drop zone, choose the target format, adjust the options if you want to, and press convert. The finished file downloads immediately.

    Is my file uploaded anywhere?

    For most conversions, no. They run entirely inside your browser tab. The file is read from your device and the result is written back to your device.

    Do I need an account?

    No. There is no signup step, no email capture and no usage counter. Open the tool, convert the file, close the tab.

    Will there be a watermark or a page limit?

    Neither. On-device conversions produce a clean file with no branding and no cap on pages, size or number of files.
