WebP is Google's image format: lossy images use VP8 compression (a cousin of the VP8 video codec), which is why WebP files run 25–35% smaller than JPEGs on websites. That efficiency backfires the moment you save one — older Photoshop, Microsoft Office, and many image viewers simply refuse to open .webp files. This page decodes the WebP and re-encodes it as a universally supported JPEG using your browser's own image engine, with nothing uploaded anywhere.

.webp — up to 200 MB. Processed locally; never uploaded.
Sites serve WebP because it's 25–35% smaller than JPEG, which speeds up page loads. Browsers have displayed WebP for years, but many desktop applications — older Office, pre-2022 Photoshop, some file managers — never learned to read it.
JPEG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are flattened onto a white background. If you need to keep transparency, use the WebP to PNG converter instead.
Yes, one generation of lossy recompression — VP8 to DCT. At 85% quality it's imperceptible for typical web images, and you can drag the quality slider higher if the result will be printed.
No. Decoding and encoding happen in a Web Worker inside your browser tab. The file bytes never traverse the network — you can verify in the browser's developer tools.
