You might have noticed that some of the photographs you save from the internet are stored in the WEBP format. Compared to PNG or JPG files, photographs can hold more information thanks to the relatively new WEBP file format[1]. This works well for surfing the web, but it’s not always the best option if you want to use that image for another purpose. Numerous image editors and other applications are still unable to read WEBP files. We’ll show you eight methods in this post to export a WEBP file as a JPG (or JPEG) so you may use the pictures in other projects.
4. Open a photo editor of your choice.
You can use any other downloaded picture editor, such Photoshop, Lightroom, Canva, GIMP, or another one, or you can use Paint on Windows or Preview on Mac.
5. Create a new file.
Although the behavior of each software varies slightly, you can usually create a new file by clicking File > New.
You don’t need to create a new file because Paint will open with one that is blank by default.
If you’re using Preview, choose File > New from Clipboard after selecting the Preview menu item in the upper left corner.

6. Paste the image into the new file.
Although the functionality of each software will vary slightly, Paste is typically located under Edit > Paste. Alternatively, you can paste by simply pressing Ctrl+V on Windows or ⌘ Cmd+V on Mac.
You can skip this step if you pasted from your clipboard when using Preview.
