How to Convert WebP to JPG, PNG, AVIF - FAQ

About WebP Format

What is WebP format?

WebP is an image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for web images. WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller than their JPEG or PNG equivalents with the same visual quality, which makes websites load faster and use less bandwidth.

Why would I need to convert WebP images?

While WebP offers excellent compression and is supported by most modern browsers, you might need to convert WebP images if:

  • You need to use the images in software that doesn't support WebP
  • You're sharing images with people using older software or devices
  • You need to print the images, as some printing services don't accept WebP
  • You're working with a system that requires specific image formats like JPG or PNG
