You right-click an image on a website, hit "Save As," and get a .webp file. Your image editor won't open it. Your email client won't attach it. ImageConvert.to converts WebP to JPG in seconds — right in your browser, with no upload and no signup.
Why Are Images Saving as WebP?
Google created WebP as a modern image format for the web. Most websites use it because it's 25-35% smaller than JPG with similar quality. But WebP has limited support outside browsers:
| Application | WebP Support |
|---|---|
| Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari | Yes |
| Photoshop (2023+) | Yes |
| Photoshop (older) | No |
| Microsoft Office | No |
| Most email clients | No |
| Printers | No |
WebP vs JPG
| Feature | WebP | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| File size | 25-35% smaller | Larger |
| Transparency | Yes | No |
| Browser support | Modern browsers | All browsers |
| Software support | Limited | Universal |
| Email/Print | Poor | Perfect |
Bottom line: WebP is better for websites. JPG is better for everything else — sharing, printing, editing, and storing.
