WebP

WebP is Google’s image format, roughly 25–35% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality, with both lossy and lossless modes plus transparency and animation. Browsers all support it; desktop software and older phones frequently do not, which is why so many people need it converted.

Extension: .webp
MIME type: image/webp

Opening a .webp file

If you landed here because something handed you a .webp file and nothing on your machine will open it, converting it to a format you already have a reader for is usually faster than installing new software. Every conversion above runs in this browser — the file is not uploaded, so it works on a locked-down work machine and on a file you are not allowed to send anywhere.
