WebP is supported by modern browsers but not by all image editors, design tools, older software, or some CMS platforms. JPG is universally supported by every application ever made — Photoshop, GIMP, Paint, Word, PowerPoint, and all image viewers.
Most photo printing services (Shutterfly, Walgreens, CVS, Costco) accept JPG but not WebP. Convert before uploading to print.
Some email clients and document editors don't render WebP images. JPG is the safe choice for embedding images in emails, Word documents, and presentations.
Modern websites serve images in WebP format. When you "Save Image As" from Chrome or Firefox, you often get a .webp file that older software can't open. Converting to JPG makes it universally usable.
JPG doesn't support transparency. If your WebP image has transparent areas, they'll become a solid background color (white by default). If you need to preserve transparency, use WebP to PNG instead.
Both lossy WebP and JPG involve compression. At 90%+ JPG quality, the difference is imperceptible. Lossless WebP converted to JPG will have some quality loss since JPG is always lossy.
Transparent areas become white by default in the JPG output.
