Why WebP stays WebP
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all display WebP, so there's no reason to change the format. We place your WebP into the HTML page unchanged. That keeps the small file size WebP is known for and avoids any loss from converting it to something else. The page shows the image alone, centred and scaled to the window.
How to convert WebP to HTML
- Upload the .webp file with the box above.
- Choose HTML as the output.
- Convert and download the .html file, then open it in your browser.
The file is converted on our servers. A file that isn't a valid WebP gets a plain message instead of a blank page.
Where WebP in HTML causes trouble
A browser shows WebP fine, but some older desktop programs and a few email clients don't. If the HTML file will be opened in something other than a modern browser, convert to a more widely supported format first: WebP to PNG keeps full quality, and WebP to JPG gives a small file that opens almost anywhere.
Using WebP on your own website
For your own site, skip the conversion and reference the file directly: <img src='image.webp' alt='What the image shows'>. WebP is usually smaller than a JPG of similar quality, which helps pages load faster.
More WebP options
To print or archive the image, WebP to PDF is the better choice. All WebP conversions are on the WebP converter page, and HTML files are covered by the HTML converter.
