WEBP is a fresh image format developed by Google which concentrates on keeping the quality of pictures on web pages while making sure data compression is kept to a minimum. Opera, Windows Edge, and Mozilla Firefox support it, in addition to all of Google’s products.
Even if this image format is useful and getting more popular day by day, you will need a browser which supports it to see the pictures saved in this format. If that is complicated for you, converting the WebP images to the standard PNG or JPG formats is possible. Doing this might be vital if you wish to work with your picture file offline.

How Can I Save And Convert WebP To PNG Or JPG?
Even if the quality of WebP pictures is amazing, they are not always the most appropriate choice for your site. They also cannot be used for online submission forms and image editors. Below are some of the best methods of converting and saving WebP images as PNG or JPG:
1. Change The URL Of The Picture
This is the simplest way to save WebP images to PNG or JPG formats.
Some browsers don’t support the WebP image format, and this is why these pictures are saved online in both JPG and PNG forms. If the URL of the picture is edited, you can easily load the PNG or JPG format instead. See how to do it:
- Access the webpage with the preferred WebP image. Right-tap it, and in the drop-down menu, choose “Open image in a new tab.” Use “Copy image” and then paste it in a new tab.
- When it opens, tap on the URL to select and delete the last 3 characters, “–rw.” Press “Enter” when that is done and the picture will be visible in PNG or JPG format.
