WebP to JPG, for everything that expects a photo
Saved an image from a website and found nothing will open it? WebP is why. This turns it into the format every piece of software on earth understands.

How it works
Pick your file. The browser opens it straight from disk. There is no upload, so there is nothing to wait for.
Nothing is downloaded first. Unlike the video tools, image conversion uses what is already built into your browser. It starts instantly.
Your machine does the work. The image is drawn to a canvas and written out in the new format, which takes a fraction of a second.
Save the result. The file goes straight to your downloads folder and the original is untouched.
Why the file you saved will not open
Websites serve WebP because it is smaller, and browsers handle it perfectly. The moment that image leaves the browser, the picture changes: older photo software, some print workflows, plenty of upload forms and a fair number of phones will not touch it.
JPEG is the opposite. Nothing anywhere refuses a JPEG. It has been the default photographic format for three decades and every device made in that time can open one.
So this conversion is about reach rather than quality. You are trading a marginally better compression scheme for a format that works without you having to think about it.
The picture is re-compressed once more
Both formats are lossy, so the JPEG is a compressed version of an already compressed image. At the High setting that second pass costs almost nothing visible. At the smallest setting you may notice softening in fine texture, which is the trade you are choosing when you pick it.
Common questions
Will there be a quality loss?
A small one, since a lossy image is being re-encoded. At the High setting it is not visible in normal viewing.
What about transparency?
JPEG cannot store it. Transparent areas become white. Convert to PNG instead if that matters.
Does animated WebP work?
Only the first frame. JPEG holds a single image.
Does anything leave my device?
No. Everything happens in this tab.
