What is WebP?

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google in 2010, designed specifically for the web. It provides superior compression compared to JPG and PNG-typically 25-35% smaller files with equivalent visual quality.

WebP supports both lossy compression (like JPG) and lossless compression (like PNG), plus transparency and animation. It's a single format that can do everything JPG, PNG, and GIF do, usually with smaller file sizes.

While WebP is now supported by all modern browsers, many desktop applications, email clients, and older systems still can't open WebP files-which is why conversion remains necessary.

Why Convert WebP Files?

Despite WebP's advantages, you often need to convert:

Software compatibility - Photoshop, Word, and many apps don't open WebP natively
Email sharing - Email clients often can't display WebP inline
Social media - Some platforms still require JPG/PNG uploads
Printing services - Print shops typically need JPG, PNG, or TIFF
Older devices - Legacy systems and older browsers don't support WebP
Editing workflows - Some image editors lack WebP support

Converting WebP to JPG or PNG creates universally compatible images for any purpose.

Convert WebP to Other Formats

WebP to JPG

The most common conversion. JPG works everywhere and is ideal for photos. Transparent areas in WebP become solid (usually white) since JPG doesn't support transparency.

WebP to PNG

Preserves transparency if your WebP has it. PNG is lossless, so quality is preserved perfectly. Use for logos, graphics, and images needing transparent backgrounds.

WebP to GIF

Convert animated WebP to animated GIF for broader compatibility. GIF is limited to 256 colors, so some quality loss occurs, but compatibility is universal.

WebP to PDF

Create documents from WebP images. Useful for archiving or combining multiple images into a single file.

WebP to BMP

Creates uncompressed bitmap for legacy applications requiring BMP format.

Convert Images to WebP

WebP offers significant benefits for web performance:

JPG to WebP

Reduce photo file sizes by 25-35% with identical visual quality. A 500KB JPG often becomes a 350KB WebP. Essential for website optimization and faster page loads.

PNG to WebP

WebP's lossless mode compresses better than PNG while preserving transparency. Expect 25-30% smaller files for identical quality. Perfect for web graphics and icons.

GIF to WebP

Animated WebP is dramatically smaller than animated GIF-often 50% or more reduction. Plus you get millions of colors instead of GIF's 256 color limit.

TIFF to WebP

Prepare large TIFF images for web use. WebP's compression makes previously impractical images web-ready.

WebP for Website Optimization

WebP is critical for web performance:

Faster page loads - 25-35% smaller images mean faster websites
Better SEO - Google considers page speed in rankings
Lower bandwidth costs - Reduced data transfer saves money
Better user experience - Faster sites have lower bounce rates
Mobile performance - Smaller files load faster on cellular

Most modern websites serve WebP with JPG/PNG fallbacks for older browsers.

WebP vs JPG vs PNG

WebP vs JPG: WebP is 25-35% smaller for photos at equivalent quality. Use WebP for web, JPG for universal compatibility.
WebP vs PNG: WebP lossless is 25-30% smaller than PNG. Both support transparency. Use WebP for web, PNG for maximum compatibility.
When to use WebP: Websites, web apps, anywhere modern browser support is sufficient.
When to avoid WebP: Email attachments, print workflows, software that doesn't support it.

Pro Tip

For websites, use WebP with JPG fallback: serve WebP to 95%+ of users who support it, with <picture> element or server-side detection serving JPG to the rest. This maximizes both performance and compatibility.

Common Mistake

Converting PNG to lossy WebP when you need lossless. WebP has both modes-use lossless WebP for graphics with text or sharp edges, lossy WebP for photographs.

Best For

Website images where you control the delivery format. WebP's 25-35% size reduction directly improves page speed, SEO rankings, and user experience.

Not Recommended

Email attachments, documents for clients, or any scenario where the recipient might not have WebP support. Use JPG or PNG for maximum compatibility outside web browsers.

Frequently Asked Questions
