WEBP for the web, JPG for everywhere else
A WEBP and a JPG do the same job — compress a photograph by discarding detail you can't see — twenty years apart. WEBP does it better: 25–35% smaller at the same apparent quality. If the image is headed for a web page, that's the right choice and there's nothing more to discuss.
This conversion is for the opposite case: when the file has to leave the web. There, the newer format stops being an advantage and becomes an obstacle.
Where WEBP still gets stuck
- Email attachments the recipient opens on an old phone or a corporate client.
- Government forms and upload platforms with validation written years ago,
accepting
jpgandpngand rejecting everything else without saying why. - Print shops and photo labs, which usually ask for JPG or TIFF.
- Older desktop software: viewers, document systems, and Office versions before 2021.
In all of those the problem isn't yours to fix: either you send something else, or it doesn't go through.
What to expect
The file will grow, usually by 30% up to double, depending on the image and the quality you pick. There is a second lossy compression, but starting from a WEBP of reasonable quality and saving as JPG at the default value, the difference isn't visible to the eye.
If your WEBP has transparency — a logo, an icon, a cut-out product — JPG isn't your destination: it will eat the transparency and replace it with a flat colour. What you want there is PNG.
Common questions
- WEBP or JPG — which is better?
- For a website, WEBP: smaller at the same quality. For emailing, printing, attaching to an official form or uploading to an older platform, JPG, because it's the format that never fails anywhere. It isn't a question of quality but of where the file is going to end up.
- Do I lose quality converting?
- A little. Both formats compress lossily, so the image is decoded and re-encoded with a different codec. At the default quality you won't see it by looking at the photo. What you will see is the file getting bigger.
- What if my WEBP has transparency?
- JPG doesn't support it, so transparent areas are filled with the colour you choose before converting. If the image is a logo or a cut-out, you probably want PNG rather than JPG.
- Will a print shop accept it?
- Yes, and it's usually exactly what they ask for. Plenty of print shops and photo services don't accept WEBP in their upload forms, while every one of them accepts JPG.
- Can animated WEBP files be converted?
- The first frame is processed, so you'll get a still image. An animated WEBP is closer to a GIF than to a photograph.
