How to Convert WebP to JPG on Windows, Mac and iPhone
WebP is smaller, but JPG works everywhere. Here's how to convert WebP to JPG on every device — including a private method that never uploads your files.
Why Convert WebP to JPG?
WebP is a modern image format that creates smaller files than JPG. However, some older apps, websites, printers and devices still do not support it properly.
Converting WebP to JPG is useful when you need to upload an image to a platform that only accepts JPG, share it with someone using older software, print it or edit it in an app that does not recognize WebP.
Convert WebP to JPG on Windows
Windows users can convert WebP images using Paint, Photos or an online converter.
- Open the WebP image in Paint.
- Click File > Save As.
- Choose JPEG picture.
- Select a folder and click Save.
You can also open the image in the Windows Photos app, select Edit & Create, then choose Save As and select JPG if available.
Convert WebP to JPG on Mac
On Mac, Preview is the easiest built-in option.
- Open the WebP file in Preview.
- Click File > Export.
- Choose JPEG as the format.
- Select the quality.
- Click Save.
Preview creates a new JPG file while keeping the original WebP image unchanged.
Convert WebP to JPG on iPhone
On iPhone, the simplest method is to use an online converter in Safari.
- Open the WebP to JPG converter.
- Select your WebP image from your photo library or files.
- Choose JPG as the output format.
- Start the conversion.
- Download and save the JPG file.
FormatFlash processes the image locally in your browser, so the photo is not uploaded to a server.
