How to Convert WEBP to JPG (Open 'Web Files' on Any Device)
Summary: You saved an image from Google, but your computer says it's a ".WEBP" file and Photoshop won't open it. This guide explains what this new format is and how to convert it back to a normal JPG or PNG in seconds.
It happens all the time. You find the perfect picture on a website, right-click "Save As," and suddenly you have a file on your desktop that ends in .webp. When you try to open it or upload it to another site, you get an error.
What is happening? Is the file broken?
No. You have just encountered the internet's favorite new image format.
What is WEBP?
WEBP is a modern image format developed by Google. It is designed to make websites faster. A WEBP image looks almost identical to a JPEG but is often 30% smaller in file size.
Because it saves bandwidth, almost every major website (YouTube, Pinterest, eBay) now serves images as WEBP.
The Problem: Compatibility
While browsers love WEBP, many desktop programs do not.
- Old Photo Viewers: Cannot open them.
- Older Photoshop versions: Require a plugin to edit them.
- Some Upload Forms: Many government or job portals only accept JPG or PDF.
To use the image freely, you usually need to convert it back to the universal standard: JPEG.
