WebP to PNG/JPG: How to Convert Next-Gen Images Free

You are browsing the web, and you find the perfect image. You right-click, hit “Save Image As…”, and look closely at the file extension.

It isn’t a .jpg or a .png. It’s a .webp.

Google created the WebP image format to dramatically speed up loading times on websites. It is an incredibly efficient, next-generation format that offers lossy and lossless compression.

Unfortunately for the average user, it is a nightmare to work with. Most native photo viewers on Windows and Mac struggle to open WebP files. Even worse, professional editing software like older versions of Adobe Photoshop downright reject them. Try uploading a WebP image to a corporate portal or social media system, and you’ll likely hit an “Unsupported Format” error.

To actually use the image you found, you need to convert it back to a standard PNG or JPG.

Don’t Upload Your WebP Images

The traditional way to fix this is by Googling a free converter and uploading your image to a third-party server. However, this is slow, requires an active internet connection, and exposes your files to unknown privacy policies.

With the GetAnyFile WebP Converter, you never have to deal with uploads again.

Our tool leverages WebAssembly technology to act just like professional desktop software, but it lives entirely inside your web browser.

Why you should convert WebP locally:

• Blazing Fast: The conversion happens in milliseconds because your file doesn’t have to travel to our servers and back.
• Batch Processing: Dropped 50 WebP images from a website scrape? Our browser tool will chew through the queue instantly, utilizing your device’s CPU.
• 100% Offline Capability: Because it’s built as a Progressive Web App, once you load our site, the image engine is cached. You can convert files without Wi-Fi!
