Why is WebP smaller than JPG or PNG for the same image?

WebP uses a more modern compression algorithm than JPG and PNG, which typically achieves 25–35% smaller file sizes at similar visual quality, especially for photos and images with both photo and flat-colour areas.

Can WebP support transparency like PNG?

Yes. WebP supports transparency (an alpha channel) in both its lossless and lossy modes, unlike JPG which cannot store transparency at all.

Will old browsers or apps be able to open a WebP file?

Very old browsers (like Internet Explorer) and some older desktop image viewers may not open WebP files directly. If you need maximum compatibility with older software, JPG or PNG are safer choices.

Can I convert a WebP image back to JPG or PNG?

This tool converts other formats to WebP. To go the other way, use our JPG to PNG or PNG to JPG tools after first opening the WebP image in your browser.
