What is WebP, and why won't it open?
WebP is an image format from Google that many websites use because it is smaller than JPG. When you save an image from a site, you often get a .webp file. Newer apps open it, but older photo editors, some print shops and many upload forms still expect JPG or PNG.
JPG or PNG?
- JPG: good for photos, and almost everything opens it. It has no transparency, so transparent areas get the background color you choose.
- PNG: keeps transparency and sharp edges (logos, screenshots), but files are bigger.
Other ways
On Windows you can open the file in Paint and choose Save as → JPEG. On a Mac, open it in Preview and use File → Export. Those work one file at a time. The browser converter does a whole batch at once (up to 20 free) and also removes EXIF metadata such as GPS location.
