WebP is an image format Google introduced in 2010 to make web pages load faster.
It has two modes: lossy WebP, based on the VP8 video codec, and lossless WebP, which keeps every pixel.
Both modes support transparency, and a WebP can also be animated like a GIF - usually at a fraction of the size. Lossy WebP photos are typically smaller than JPEGs of similar quality.
Because websites serve WebP to save bandwidth, "Save image as" often gives you a .webp file - even when the page looked like it showed a JPG or PNG.
Any modern browser opens WebP, so the fastest way is to drop the file here.
Most systems can also open it on their own.
The Photos app opens WebP using the free Webp Image Extensions, which are preinstalled on most recent PCs and free in the Microsoft Store otherwise. Older programs, like early Office versions or some upload forms, still refuse WebP - convert those files with WebP to JPG.
Preview opens WebP on macOS Big Sur (11) and later. Use File, Export to save a JPG or PNG copy.
iOS and iPadOS 14 and later show WebP in Safari, Photos and Files.
Android has supported WebP for more than a decade, so every gallery app and Chrome open it.
Browsers play animated WebP, but many photo apps only show the first frame. This viewer plays it, steps through every frame and saves frames as images. For a GIF, use WebP to GIF.
Open the image, pick JPG or PNG under it and press Save.
PNG keeps transparency and is lossless. JPG is smaller and accepted everywhere, with transparent areas turned white.
Making WebP files instead? JPG to WebP and PNG to WebP shrink images for your website.
| Format | Compression | Transparency | Animation | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WebP | Lossy or lossless | Yes | Yes | Web images of every kind |
| JPG | Lossy | No | No | Photos that must open anywhere |
| PNG | Lossless | Yes | No (APNG aside) | Screenshots, logos, editing |
| GIF | Lossless, 256 colours | On / off only | Yes | Simple animations, chats |
| AVIF | Lossy or lossless (AV1) | Yes | Yes | Smallest photos, HDR |
Got an AVIF or HEIC instead? Try the AVIF Viewer or the HEIC Viewer, or browse all file viewers.
Drop the .webp file on this page, browse for it, or paste a copied image - it opens instantly and nothing is uploaded.
On your computer, Windows Photos, Mac Preview (macOS 11+) and every modern browser open WebP too.
Open it here and press pause, then use the arrows, Page Up and Page Down, the slider or the frame thumbnails.
Each thumbnail shows the frame delay, and All frames in the More menu saves every frame.
Open the image, choose JPG or PNG under it and press Save. You see the exact file size first.
For many files at once, use WebP to JPG or WebP to PNG.
Many websites convert their images to WebP because it is smaller than JPG and PNG, so Save image as gives you the WebP the server sent.
Convert it to JPG or PNG here if your app does not accept it.
Use WebP to GIF - it keeps the frames and timing.
This viewer can also save every frame as a PNG so you can edit them.
Both exist. Lossy WebP works like a smaller JPEG, lossless WebP keeps every pixel like a PNG, and animations can mix the two.
The viewer shows which one your file uses in the stats line and the Info view.
No. The image is decoded by your own browser and never leaves your device.
Recent files are only remembered if you switch that option on, and then only in this browser.
