What is the best way to convert webp to jpg on Windows?
Hi,
I’m currently working on a project and have encountered a bit of a problem. I’ve downloaded a large number of images in WebP format, but I need them to be in JPG format for compatibility with the software I’m using.
I’m using a Windows PC and am not sure what the best method is to convert WebP images to JPG. I’ve come across a few online webp converters, but I’m hesitant to use them because of the file size and quantity.
Ideally, I prefer a solution that I can use offline and that allows for batch processing since I have quite a few images to convert. Appreciate any recommendations for reliable software or methods that you’ve personally used.
- Using Windows Photo app on Windows 11 or Windows 10. Right-click the WebP file and select "Open with" > "Photos." Click on the three dots (ellipsis) in the top right corner, select "Save as," and then choose JPG as the output format. Select your desired folder and save the file. This will help you convert .webp to jpg for free on Windows PC.
I’ve been there with bulk WebP images! Any2Pic is my go-to for this kind of task. It handles batch processing smoothly, keeping quality intact and working offline, so there’s no file size limit like with online converters. It’s straightforward and efficient—perfect for converting a ton of images without any fuss.
I found it though this: https://www.uumeo.com/webp-to-jpg-png
I have been using it for almost two years and I recommend it to you!

To convert WebP to JPG free with the Paint app, open the WebP image in Microsoft Paint. Paint natively supports WebP files on Windows 10 and later. Once the image is open, click on "File" and then "Save as." Now, select "JPEG (*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.jpe; *.jfif)" from the dropdown menu. Choose your desired save location and file name, then click "Save."
However, you can only convert one webp image to jpg at one time!
MS Paint is indeed a long-standing tool, and it is quite convenient to use it to convert webp to jpg. However, it can only convert one at a time, which is a bit slow. If you have a lot of WebP images to process, this method feels a bit like running a marathon at a snail's pace! Have you ever considered trying a batch conversion tool? This way you don't have to click one by one, which will be much more efficient!
Zevhu Unfortunately, Microsoft Paint does not have a built-in feature to convert WebP images to JPG. Paint is a basic image editing software that primarily focuses on editing and manipulating existing images, rather than converting between file formats.
WebP is a format specific to Google, and it's not supported by Paint or other standard image editing software. If you need to convert a WebP image to JPG, you'll need to use a third-party software or online tool that specifically supports WebP conversions, as I mentioned in my previous answer.
However, if you're looking for a simple way to convert WebP to JPG without installing any additional software, you can try using the Windows Photo Viewer or the built-in Convert API in Windows 10.
- Using the command prompt to convert WebP to JPG is definitely a powerful option. If you mess something up (like a typo in your command), it can lead to errors, and figuring out what went wrong can be a bit of a headache. I once spent way too long trying to figure out why a command wasn’t working, only to realize I had forgotten to put a space somewhere.
When it comes to tweaking settings (like quality, DPI, etc.), the command line can be a bit limiting without knowing the right options. I use my image editor for adjusting details like contrast and saturation after conversion, which isn’t something you get with a default command.

It took me a whole day to find the problem. The worst thing is that if you want to adjust the details of the image, such as contrast or saturation, you have to go to another editor to handle it, which is really inefficient.
If you frequently do this kind of webp to jpg conversion, it feels more worry-free to find a tool that can directly handle image quality and DPI. Have you ever considered switching to a one-stop tool to directly save the subsequent editing steps?
- Converting WEBP to JPG can be a piece of cake, and I've done it a few times online myself. Sometimes those WEBP files pop up and ruin the party when all you want is a nice JPG for your project or to share with friends. I'm all about convenience, so this is my go-to method when I'm at my computer. Just a few clicks, and you're done!
Zevhu Every time I do this, I usually go for the simple Paint method if it's just a couple of images. But if I've got a whole bunch convert WebP images to JPG, I'll lean toward an online converter —it just saves me time.
Please note : A lot of these online converters have file size limits. Some let you upload only a certain amount of megabytes per image, which can be a bummer if you're dealing with high-res pics. I've run into this when I forgot to check the limits and had to downsize my images first. So, always look for those caps before starting your conversion.
- Unlike using a graphical interface, you don't get any visual feedback while the conversion is happening. I enjoy seeing progress bars and pretty loading screens! With the command line if you are going to convert webp to jpg, it's just a blank screen until your command runs, and sometimes that makes it feel like nothing is happening. It's easy to get nervous, thinking, “Did I break it?”

Thank you. - If you're using an online converter to convert WebP to JPG on computer, you might be putting your images into a third-party service. Depending on what you're converting, there might be some privacy issues. I personally don't like the idea of my images chilling on a random server. By the way, if you've got a whole bunch of WEBP files, converting them one-by-one can be a total drag. Some software can batch convert, but if you're just hopping online to do it, you might find yourself clicking away for way longer than you planned.
Zevhu The WebP image format has several cons:
Browser Compatibility: While most modern browsers support WebP, older versions of browsers and some applications may not. This can lead to issues in displaying images.
Editing: Not all image editing software supports WebP, which can limit users who need to manipulate these images.
Quality Concerns: In certain cases, the compression can lead to artifacts or quality degradation, particularly in high-complexity images.The above are the three main reasons why you should convert webp to jpg on Windows 11 or Windows 10.
