Today we are going to tell you How to download WebP images and convert them to JPEG format. WebP is a new generation image format created by Google that offers a very small file size. The only big problem with WebP today is that there are very few applications that support it.
What are WebP images?
WebP is an image compression format, which was introduced by Google in 2010. The goal of the internet giant is to replace the current standards in image formats. WebP has the ability to make images in this format up to 50% lighter than with other popular formats such as JPEG, while maintaining a transparency channel.
Unfortunately for Google, the adoption of the WebP format has not been what was expected 9 years after its launch. JPEG and PNG remain the most popular image formats today.
How to download WebP images?
Downloading images in WebP format is quite simple, although you will need to use Google’s Chrome browser to do so. Not all images on the Internet are available in this format.
Google Play is one of the best places where we can find images in WebP format. This is not surprising, since both the Android application store and the WebP image format itself are owned by Google.
To save an image as WebP from Chrome, we just have to right-click on the image and choose the option “Save as”. The image will be saved as WebP, so we don’t have to do anything else.
How to convert a WebP image to JPEG format?
Converting WebP images to JPEG format is something very simple for Windows 10 users. Fortunately, Microsoft’s Paint application is fully capable of working with this modern image format, so we will not need to install any additional tool on our computer.
All we have to do to convert a WebP image to JPEG is to open the image in question with Paint, and then use the options offered by Paint itself to save the image as a JPEG file. This will save the image in the traditional JPEG format.
