The culprit is almost always the same: a <code>.webp<\/code> file. WebP is Google\u2019s web image format, and while it powers a huge share of images online, plenty of desktop apps, older software, and upload forms still won\u2019t touch it. The fix is to convert it to a universal format \u2014 <strong>PNG<\/strong> if you need transparency or pixel-perfect sharpness, <strong>JPG<\/strong> if you want a small photo. This guide explains which to pick, what conversion can and can\u2019t recover, and how to do it. We verified the format facts, browser-support numbers, and Windows behavior against Google\u2019s WebP docs, caniuse, and Microsoft\u2019s own support threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> <strong>Convert WebP to PNG<\/strong> when the image has transparency (a logo, an icon, a screenshot with a cutout) or you need a lossless, sharp copy \u2014 PNG is bigger but loses nothing. <strong>Convert WebP to JPG<\/strong> when it\u2019s a photo and you want the smallest file, and you don\u2019t need transparency. One thing to know up front: if your WebP was saved in <em>lossy<\/em> mode (most photos from the web are), converting to PNG <strong>won\u2019t restore lost detail<\/strong> \u2014 it just stops any further loss. The conversion fixes the <em>compatibility<\/em> problem, not the original compression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jump to a section<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#why\">Why your WebP won\u2019t open<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#support\">WebP support: where it works and where it doesn\u2019t<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#png-or-jpg\">PNG or JPG? Pick the right target<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#recover\">What conversion can and can\u2019t recover<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#tool\">Convert WebP to PNG or JPG on xconvert<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq\">FAQ<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why\">Why your WebP won\u2019t open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WebP is a modern image format developed by <strong>Google<\/strong>, designed to make web images smaller without an obvious quality drop. Per Google\u2019s own figures, WebP <strong>lossless<\/strong> images are about <strong>26% smaller than PNG<\/strong>, and WebP <strong>lossy<\/strong> images are <strong>25\u201334% smaller than comparable JPEG<\/strong> at equivalent quality. That efficiency is exactly why so many sites serve their images as WebP \u2014 and why you keep ending up with <code>.webp<\/code> files when you right-click and \u201cSave image as.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is downstream of the browser. WebP plays beautifully <em>in<\/em> browsers but is patchier in the desktop and software tools you actually want to use the image in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Windows Photos<\/strong> doesn\u2019t open <code>.webp<\/code> by file association by default \u2014 even though it can technically render the format internally. Rename the file to <code>.jpg<\/code> and Photos opens it, which proves the issue is recognition, not capability. (<strong>Microsoft Paint<\/strong>, by contrast, opens WebP natively.)<\/li><li><strong>Older design and office software<\/strong> \u2014 many versions of Photoshop, older Office, and countless niche apps \u2014 predate WebP and simply reject it.<\/li><li><strong>Upload forms and platforms<\/strong> that whitelist <code>.jpg<\/code>\/<code>.png<\/code> will refuse a <code>.webp<\/code> outright.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the reason to convert isn\u2019t that WebP is \u201cbad\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s that the rest of your toolchain may not accept it. Converting to a universal PNG or JPG sidesteps all of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"support\">WebP support: where it works and where it doesn\u2019t<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WebP support in <em>browsers<\/em> is now nearly universal \u2014 caniuse puts global support at about <strong>96%<\/strong> as of 2026. Here\u2019s the state of play:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Environment<\/th><th>WebP support<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Chrome<\/td><td>Full since v32 (2013)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Firefox<\/td><td>Full since v65<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Edge<\/td><td>Full since v18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Safari (macOS \/ iOS)<\/td><td>Full since Safari 16; partial from Safari 14<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Windows Photos app<\/td><td><strong>Not by default<\/strong> \u2014 no file-association support out of the box<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Microsoft Paint<\/td><td>Native (opens and saves WebP)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Older desktop \/ design apps<\/td><td>Often unsupported (predate the format)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Strict upload forms (jpg\/png only)<\/td><td>Rejected<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The takeaway: <strong>browsers are fine; everything else is a coin toss.<\/strong> If your image needs to live anywhere outside a browser \u2014 an upload box, an email attachment someone opens in Outlook, an editor, a presentation \u2014 converting to PNG or JPG removes the gamble entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re going the <em>other<\/em> direction \u2014 making images smaller for your own website \u2014 see the reverse workflow, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xconvert.com\/blog\/convert-png-to-webp\/\">Convert PNG to WebP<\/a>, and the format showdown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xconvert.com\/blog\/png-vs-webp-vs-jpg\/\">PNG vs WebP vs JPG<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"png-or-jpg\">PNG or JPG? Pick the right target<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the only real decision, and it comes down to two questions: <strong>does the image have transparency, and is it a photo or graphics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choose PNG when:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The image has <strong>transparency<\/strong> \u2014 a logo, icon, sticker, or cutout with a see-through background. JPG cannot store transparency at all; it will flatten transparent areas to a solid color (usually white or black).<\/li><li>You need a <strong>lossless, pixel-perfect<\/strong> copy \u2014 screenshots, line art, text, sharp edges, anything you\u2019ll edit further.<\/li><li>The source is a graphic with flat colors, where PNG compresses cleanly and stays crisp.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choose JPG when:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The image is a <strong>photograph<\/strong> with smooth gradients and lots of color.<\/li><li>You want the <strong>smallest file<\/strong> and don\u2019t need transparency.<\/li><li>It\u2019s destined for an upload form, email, or page where size matters more than perfect fidelity.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simple rule: <strong>PNG preserves, JPG shrinks.<\/strong> PNG is lossless \u2014 it never throws away a pixel, so it\u2019s the safe choice when in doubt, at the cost of a larger file. JPG is lossy \u2014 it trades a little detail for a much smaller photo, and it can\u2019t do transparency. If you\u2019re not sure whether your WebP has transparency, PNG is the conservative pick because it can\u2019t lose anything PNG-to-PNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recover\">What conversion can and can\u2019t recover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the part most guides skip, and it matters. WebP comes in <strong>two modes<\/strong> \u2014 lossless and lossy \u2014 and which one your file used determines what conversion can do for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If the WebP was saved <strong>lossless<\/strong> (common for logos and graphics), converting to PNG is a clean, no-loss move. Both are lossless; nothing changes but the container.<\/li><li>If the WebP was saved <strong>lossy<\/strong> (the norm for photos pulled off the web), the detail that lossy compression already discarded is <strong>gone<\/strong>. Converting that file to PNG produces a perfectly faithful copy of the <em>already-compressed<\/em> image \u2014 it does <strong>not<\/strong> sharpen it, un-blur it, or \u201cupgrade\u201d it back to original quality. What PNG <em>does<\/em> give you is no <em>further<\/em> loss: a PNG you re-save 10 times looks identical, whereas re-saving a JPG repeatedly degrades it a little each time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the honest framing: <strong>converting a lossy WebP to PNG stops future quality loss, it doesn\u2019t undo past loss.<\/strong> If your goal is just compatibility, that\u2019s exactly what you want. If your goal is \u201cmake this blurry image sharp again,\u201d no format conversion can do that \u2014 the information isn\u2019t in the file anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One more practical note: converting a lossy WebP to <strong>PNG usually makes the file bigger<\/strong> (PNG is lossless and stores more), while converting to <strong>JPG keeps it small<\/strong>. Pick based on need, not habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tool\">Convert WebP to PNG or JPG on xconvert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two dedicated tools, same flow \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xconvert.com\/convert-webp-to-png\">WebP to PNG<\/a> preserves transparency and stays lossless; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xconvert.com\/convert-webp-to-jpg\">WebP to JPG<\/a> gives you a smaller photo.

JPG cannot store transparency at all, so anything with a see-through background must go to PNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why won\u2019t my WebP file open on Windows?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Windows Photos app doesn\u2019t open <code>.webp<\/code> files by file association by default<\/strong>, even though it can render the format internally \u2014 renaming the file to <code>.jpg<\/code> makes Photos open it, which shows it\u2019s a recognition issue, not a capability one. <strong>Microsoft Paint opens WebP natively<\/strong>, so you can open it in Paint and \u201cSave as\u201d PNG, or convert it online for a cleaner result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does converting WebP to PNG improve quality?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No.<\/strong> If the WebP was saved in lossy mode (most web photos are), the detail lost during that compression is already gone \u2014 converting to PNG makes a faithful copy of the already-compressed image but can\u2019t restore the original sharpness. What it <em>does<\/em> do is <strong>prevent any further quality loss<\/strong>, since PNG is lossless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will WebP to PNG keep transparency?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes.<\/strong> PNG fully supports transparency (an alpha channel), so a WebP logo or cutout converts to PNG with its transparent background intact. Converting that same image to <strong>JPG would destroy the transparency<\/strong> \u2014 JPG has no alpha channel and fills transparent areas with a solid color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is my WebP-to-PNG file so much bigger?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because <strong>PNG is lossless and WebP is highly compressed.<\/strong> Google\u2019s own numbers put WebP lossless at about 26% smaller than PNG and WebP lossy at 25\u201334% smaller than JPEG, so going from WebP to PNG naturally produces a larger file. If size matters more than transparency, convert to <strong>JPG<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I convert WebP to JPG without losing quality?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll lose a <em>little<\/em> \u2014 JPG is lossy, so every save discards some detail. At a high quality preset the loss is usually invisible, but if you plan to edit the image repeatedly, <strong>PNG is the safer choice<\/strong> because it\u2019s lossless and survives re-saving unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Last verified 2026-06-25.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/speed\/webp\">Google \u2014 WebP, an image format for the Web<\/a> \u2014 WebP is Google\u2019s format; supports lossy and lossless plus transparency; lossless ~26% smaller than PNG, lossy 25\u201334% smaller than JPEG.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/caniuse.com\/webp\">caniuse \u2014 WebP image format<\/a> \u2014 ~96% global browser support; Chrome 32+, Firefox 65+, Edge 18+, Safari 16 full (14 partial).<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/answers\/questions\/4156426\/windows-photos-app-support-for-webp-files\">Microsoft Q&amp;A \u2014 Windows Photos app support for .webp files<\/a> \u2014 Photos doesn\u2019t open <code>.webp<\/code> by default association; Paint opens WebP natively.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can&#8217;t open a WebP file?
