How to Convert WebP to JPG or PNG

Convert WebP to PNG with ConvertFern

1. Open WebP to PNG.
2. Select one or more .webp files.
3. Choose Convert files and wait for the queue to finish.
4. Download individual PNGs or a ZIP of the batch. Inspect transparent edges and any image that was animated.

Convert WebP to JPG in an editor

1. Open the original WebP in an editor that supports both WebP input and JPEG export. On a Mac, try Preview; on Windows, try your installed version of Paint. Support varies by version.
2. If the image is transparent, place it on the background colour you want. JPEG cannot retain transparent pixels.
3. Choose Export or Save as and select JPEG. In Preview, use File → Export and the Format menu.
4. Choose quality and a new filename. Open the saved JPG to confirm the result. If the app cannot open WebP, use a compatible editor or update it.

When a two-step route makes sense

If an older editor accepts PNG but not WebP, first use WebP → PNG, then open that PNG in the editor and export JPEG. PNG is a lossless intermediate, but the final JPEG encoding is still lossy. Use the direct editor route when available to save a step.

Fix common problems

Black or white background: a JPEG export must flatten transparency. Choose the background deliberately rather than relying on the editor’s default.

Wrong file type after saving: use the actual format dropdown, not a filename change.

Animation lost: neither this still-PNG workflow nor a JPG export preserves motion. Keep the original WebP for animation.
