WebP is what a lot of websites actually send you, even when the article looks like a photograph from a camera. Chrome’s save dialog will happily write image.webp. Then a printer, an LMS, or an older Word build rejects it. Converting to JPG is a compatibility step, the same job HEIC → JPG does for iPhone photos.
In the browser (this site)
Open Convert WebP to JPG. Click the dropzone, paste from the clipboard, or drag files. The island is the same engine as the HEIC tool with the accept list set to WebP. Decoding uses createImageBitmap / canvas — current browsers already know WebP, so you should not wait on a WASM download. Default JPEG quality is 0.92. PNG is there for lossless stills. Limits: 50 files, 25 MB each, 200 MB total, 40 megapixels.
Animated WebP is rejected. A banner ad with 20 frames is not a photograph; exporting frame one would be a silent lie. If you need a GIF or MP4, use a dedicated animation tool.
On Windows
Recent Photos app versions open WebP. Paint on Windows 11 often does too. File → Save as → JPEG in those apps is a local convert. Explorer may still not generate thumbs on older builds. For a folder of saved images, the browser batch is faster than opening each in Paint. Microsoft’s format notes change by Windows version; if Photos opens the file, you can export JPEG from there without this site.
On Mac
Preview opens WebP on current macOS. File → Export → JPEG. Safari displays WebP on the web; Preview handles the file on disk. Same story as HEIC: the OS can do one-off exports; this page exists for batch, ZIP, and the same workflow on every device.
On iPhone
Saving from Safari sometimes yields HEIC or JPEG depending on the page, not WebP. When you do have a .webp in Files, open this converter in Safari and pick the file. Share sheet destinations that only accept JPEG will convert if iOS knows how; if the share still sends WebP, convert first.
Quality and when to keep WebP
Keep WebP for the web. Convert for humans and forms that named JPEG in 1998 and never updated the whitelist. A second lossy encode (lossy WebP → JPEG) is not free. If the WebP is a UI screenshot with text, prefer PNG on this tool. If it is a camera-like photo, JPG at 0.92 is the usual request.

Where WebP files come from
Saving a meme, a product shot from a shop, or a news photo in Chrome is the usual source. Some design tools export WebP for the web and then a client asks for JPG for a print insert. Screenshots on some Android builds are WebP. None of those are iPhone camera originals; those are HEIC and belong on the home page.
Clipboard paste works on this tool when the clipboard holds a file, not when it holds a bitmap without a filename. If paste does nothing, use the file picker. Drag from Explorer or Finder is the reliable batch path.
ZIP download uses STORE: the JPEGs are packed, not deflated again. That matters when you convert 40 screenshots and email the zip; you do not want a second compressor smearing them. Filename mapping is the same as HEIC: shot.webp becomes shot.jpg. If a CMS still rejects the JPG, check the MIME whitelist — some filters want image/jpeg and a .jpg extension together, which this tool already writes.
