How to convert WEBP images to JPG or PNG

By the Fusion Office team · Updated

Quick answer

Open Convert image, add the WEBP files, choose JPG (for photos) or PNG (for graphics and transparency), and press Convert. When saving as JPG, pick a fill colour for any transparent areas, usually white. Everything happens in your browser.

Why you end up with WEBP files

Most websites now serve images as WEBP because it's smaller than JPG or PNG. When you save an image from a browser you often get a .webp file, which older software, some printers, and many government and exam forms don't accept.

Convert step by step

  1. 1Open Convert image and choose one or more WEBP files.
  2. 2Pick JPG or PNG.
  3. 3For JPG, set the quality, and choose a fill colour for transparent areas (white is usual).
  4. 4Press Convert and download the images.

JPG or PNG?

  • JPG: photos, and anything going into a form. Smaller files.
  • PNG: logos, icons, screenshots and anything with a transparent background. Sharper edges, larger files.

If a form has a KB limit, finish with Compress image or Resize image.
