    Why this happens

    The web moved on, desktop software did not

    Sites serve WebP and AVIF because they are far smaller than JPG at the same quality. Browsers read them natively. Photoshop, Word, print services and older Windows builds mostly do not, so a perfectly good image appears broken the moment it leaves the browser.

    Renaming the file does not work

    Changing .webp to .jpg only changes the label. The bytes inside are still WebP, so the program still refuses it — often with a misleading "file is corrupt" message. The image has to be genuinely re-encoded, which is what this tool does.

    Watch out for black backgrounds

    If a logo with a transparent background turns into a black rectangle, the converter encoded transparency as JPG without filling it first. Pick PNG to keep transparency, or set the fill colour above to control exactly what replaces it.

    Questions

    Most desktop software was written before WebP existed and never added support. Windows Photos handles it on Windows 11 but older builds do not, and Photoshop needs a plugin before CC 2022. Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and most print services reject it outright. The file is not broken — the program simply does not read that format, which is why converting it to JPG makes it work everywhere.

    You almost certainly saved it from a website. Google serves WebP in image results and most modern sites deliver WebP or AVIF to save bandwidth, so "Save image as" hands you whatever the site was using rather than a JPG. The picture is the same; only the container changed.

    No. Your browser already contains WebP and AVIF decoders, so each image is converted inside the tab on your own device. Nothing but the number of images in a batch is sent to CachePlex, which is used to count the daily free limit.

    Yes. Add up to 50 images in one batch, press Convert, then download them individually or together as one ZIP. You can run 10 batches a day for free.

    Choose JPG for photographs and anything you need to attach, upload or print — it is the most widely accepted format there is. Choose PNG if the image has a transparent background you need to keep, such as a logo, or if it is a screenshot, diagram or image containing text, where JPG compression softens sharp edges.

    JPG cannot store transparency, so transparent areas have to be filled with a solid colour. This tool fills them with white by default and lets you pick another colour. Converters that skip this step produce a black background, which is the usual explanation for a logo turning into a dark box.

    High (90) is the right default and is very hard to tell apart from the original at normal viewing sizes. Use Maximum (95) for images you plan to edit further or print, Balanced (80) for email and web use, and lower only when file size matters more than fine detail.

    WebP and AVIF compress more efficiently than JPG, so the same picture needs fewer bytes in those formats. Converting to JPG at high quality commonly produces a file somewhat larger than the original. That is the trade for a format every program can open. Lowering the quality setting brings the size back down.

    Yes. AVIF is the newer format that replaced WebP on many sites, and it causes exactly the same problem in desktop software. It is handled in the same batch as WebP, as long as your browser is reasonably current — Chrome 85, Firefox 93, Edge 85 or Safari 16.4 and above.

    Yes, in a current version of Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Phones have less memory than computers, so very large batches of high-resolution images convert more reliably on a laptop or desktop.

    Nothing. A web page can read files you choose but cannot edit, move or delete them. The converted images are new copies saved wherever your browser puts downloads.

    No. The converted files do not carry EXIF metadata, so camera details, capture date and any GPS location are removed. That is useful before publishing an image, but keep the originals if you rely on that information.

    Not with this tool, but our WebP Converter does exactly that, which is useful when you want smaller files for your own website.
