What a WebP file is

WebP is an image format Google made for the web. It keeps pictures small so pages load quickly, which is why many images saved from websites end in .webp.

Stickers saved from WhatsApp are WebP files too. A WebP can hold a photo, a picture with see-through parts, or a short animation.

Why a WebP won't open

  • Older photo viewers and editors were made before WebP, and don't know the format.
  • Many online forms, office programs and print shops take only JPG or PNG.
  • Every current web browser shows a WebP: drag the file into a browser window to look at it. To use it anywhere else, save it as JPG or PNG.

Opening it here

See it first

Choose the file and the picture appears on this page, with its format, its size in KB and its width and height in pixels.

Save it as JPG or PNG

JPG is chosen on this page: press Convert, then download. Choose PNG first if the picture has see-through parts.

Many files at once

Choose up to 10 WebP files and convert them together. They download as one ZIP file.

Animated WebP and stickers

JPG and PNG hold a single picture, so an animated WebP is saved as its first frame.

For a sticker with a see-through background, choose PNG: in a JPG, the see-through parts turn white.
