Working out the difference…
Dark means unchanged. The brighter an area, the more compression changed it — differences are amplified ten times so they show at all.
Drag the divider, or use the arrow keys. Zoom to 100% to check fine detail — that is where compression shows first.
Convert on this devicePrivate mode: the images never leave your phone or computer
Your browser compresses the images itself, so nothing is uploaded and no credits are used. Location data is always removed. The main compressor above is smarter — it finds the best quality for each image and never makes one bigger — but this is here when privacy comes first.
Your files stay private
Uploads are deleted from our servers one hour after processing. Nothing is read or reused, and nothing is kept unless you save it to your account.
No account required
20 free credits a day, with no email address and no watermarks on the output.
Runs on any device
Works in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
How to convert WebP to JPG or PNG
No account, and nothing to install.
- STEP 01
Add your images
Add .webp files, or JPG, PNG and other images, up to 25 MB each. A whole folder works too.
- STEP 02
Choose the format
Under Convert to, pick JPG to open a WebP anywhere. For a logo with a see-through background, WebP to PNG is the better choice.
- STEP 03
Convert and download
Click Convert images. Our test files were ready in under 2 seconds each.
Plenty of websites serve their pictures as WebP these days. Right-click one, choose "Save image as", and a .webp file is what lands in your downloads folder.
What the WebP Converter does
Both directions
A WebP that won't open becomes a JPG or PNG. Going the other way, JPG to WebP shrinks pictures for your site.
Smaller, same look
Our dog photo went from a 104 KB JPG to a 56 KB WebP, and still looked the same.
Nothing gets lost
See-through backgrounds stay see-through, and animations keep moving as WebP or GIF.
Why can't I open a WebP file?
Browsers have no trouble with WebP, but plenty of other things do. Older software often refuses it, and so do Word, print shops and online forms that ask for a JPG.
You don't need a special app or plugin for that. We converted a 56 KB WebP back to JPG and had a 66 KB file 1.3 seconds later, one that opens in every program, email and upload form.
How to convert JPG and PNG to WebP
- Add your JPG or PNG images. HEIC, AVIF, GIF, BMP and TIFF work too.
- Tap the WebP for websites quick option at the top, or pick WebP yourself under Convert to.
- Leave Compression on Smart, then convert and download.
Smart tries each image at different qualities and keeps the lowest one that still looks identical. We ran our dog photo through it as a JPG to WebP test. Smart settled on quality 85, and the file dropped from 104 KB to 56 KB. Then we tried a plain logo saved as a 2.6 KB PNG. That one came back at 0.8 KB, and the tool had picked lossless WebP by itself, so the edges are exactly as they were.
Why use WebP on a website?
Because the same picture arrives smaller. In the example below, the JPG was 135 KB and the WebP 103 KB at the same measured quality, 24% less. As a PNG, that photo was over 1,000 KB.
Smaller pictures load sooner, and Google measures that in its Core Web Vitals. If the WebP still needs to be smaller, Compress Image can bring it down to a size in KB.
Which format should I convert to?
Every common format is here. This is how we would choose:
| Format | Pick it when |
|---|---|
| WebP | The picture is going on a website. It's the smallest common format and keeps transparency and animation. |
| JPG | It has to open everywhere: email, Word, Windows, upload forms. |
| PNG | You need every pixel kept, or a see-through background. Best for logos and screenshots. |
| AVIF | You want the smallest file of all. Every current browser can show it. |
| GIF | An animated WebP has to play in chat apps or older software. |
| ICO | You're making a website favicon, the tiny icon in the browser tab. |
| TIFF or BMP | It's for printing, archiving or old Windows software. |
Is WebP better than JPG?
For a website, yes, because it's smaller at the same quality. For anything you'll email, print or open in Word, JPG is the safer pick, since more things open it.
Does WebP keep transparency and animation?
The logo from our test had a see-through background as a PNG, and it was still see-through after turning into a WebP. Going the other way is just as safe. JPG is the odd one out, since it can't store see-through parts at all, so they come out white or black, whichever you pick.
Moving pictures are a different story, and only WebP and GIF keep them. Pick GIF (keeps animation) to turn an animated WebP into a GIF that plays anywhere. Saved as JPG or PNG, you get the first frame, and the result says so.
Can I make a favicon?
Yes, and it took less than a second. We grabbed the round part of our test logo, saved as a small PNG, and picked ICO (favicon). What came back was one 28 KB file. Inside it there are seven copies of the icon, from a tiny 16 pixels up to 256, so a browser tab and a desktop shortcut each get one that fits. A logo that still has its background can go through Remove Background first.
Can I see the result before I convert?
Yes. A live preview appears as soon as you add an image. Switch the format or move the quality slider, and the picture, its new size and a "visual quality kept" score change as you go.
After converting, the two versions can be compared with a slider, side by side, or as a difference map, at up to 200% zoom.
Should I keep the photo details?
Keep EXIF data such as date and camera is off by default. EXIF is the hidden info inside a photo, like the date and the camera, and on a phone often the location too. We leave it off for anything going on a public website. When it is on, the rotation is fixed as well, so a phone photo isn't turned twice.
Keep the colour profile is on, and it keeps iPhone and camera photos in their true colours.
Is Convertavo's WebP converter free?
Yes. You get 20 free credits a day and each file uses 1 credit, so that's 20 files. No email, no watermark, and files can be up to 25 MB. Without an account you can convert 3 at a time, a free account takes 10, and the biggest plan 100. Standard plans and above also get priority processing.
Can I convert images without uploading them?
Yes. Open Convert on this device and your images never leave your phone or computer. Uploaded files are deleted from our servers one hour after processing, and we don't keep, look at or reuse them.
Does it work on my phone?
Sure. Any modern browser on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux will do, so there's nothing to install.

Convert imagesCommon questions about WebP files
The things people ask us most about WebP.
How do I convert WebP to JPG?
We did it with our test WebP. JPG was the only setting we changed, and 1.3 seconds later there was a 66 KB JPG, one that opens in every program and upload form.
How do I convert an image to WebP?
Our dog photo started as a 104 KB JPG. With WebP for websites picked and Compression left on Smart, it came out at 56 KB and looked no different.
How do I convert an animated WebP to GIF?
That's what the GIF (keeps animation) option is for. The GIF still moves, and chat apps and older programs play it without any trouble.
Can I convert images without uploading them?
Yes. Convert on this device does the work inside your browser, so nothing gets sent to us.
Why can't I open a WebP file?
A lot of older programs never learned the format, and Word, print shops and many upload forms still say no to it. A JPG copy opens anywhere.
Does WebP keep transparency?
It does. Our see-through PNG logo was still see-through as a WebP. JPG is the only format here that fills those parts in, with white or black.
