What is a WEBP file?

WEBP is a modern image format created by Google that offers lossy and lossless compression with support for transparency and animation. It is optimized for small file sizes and fast delivery on the web.

How to open a WEBP file?

All modern browsers and many image viewers open WEBP. If you need a format that works in legacy apps, emails, or print portals, convert WEBP to JPG, PNG, AVIF, or TIFF using the converter above.

Editing tools like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop can handle WEBP with the right codecs and export to other formats when needed.

Browse WEBP converters by target

Each pair has its own page with target-specific encode notes, file-size expectations, and metadata behavior.

WEBP to JPG

EXIF survives; animation frames and transparency drop.

WEBP to PNG

EXIF, XMP, and alpha transparency survive; output is lossless going forward.

WEBP to TIFF

EXIF, XMP, and ICC profile survive; animation frames drop, container becomes lossless.

WEBP to AVIF

Modern-to-modern: EXIF, XMP, ICC, and alpha all survive with smaller files.
