If you download images from the web, you may have saved images in WEBP format on your Android phone. Although it is a popular format for storing images online, WEBP is not compatible with most Photo or Image viewing applications. Most online forms and websites still only accept images in JPG or PNG format. Here are the top ways to convert WEBP to JPG or PNG on Android.
While there are different ways to open WEBP images on your Windows 11 PC, it’s difficult to do on an Android smartphone. The easiest trick is to convert the WEBP image to PNG or JPG. Although the WEBP format has certain advantages over PNG or JPG, it is not yet widely accepted. Before we show you the built-in and third-party ways to convert WEBP to JPG or PNG, let’s talk a little bit about the WEBP format.
What is the WEBP format?
Google developed the WEBP format with the purpose of displaying web page images using a compression system. It reduces the image size by a third without compromising on quality. Many websites use the WEBP format to upload and store images because it allows the web page to load faster. However, most photo editors still do not support WEBP images. If you have downloaded some WEBP images from the web, you cannot open them in popular applications for editing.
If you store such images on Android, you can easily convert them to JPG or PNG using the trick below.
1. Use Google Photos to convert WEBP to JPG
Although Google Photos does not provide a native way to convert WEBP images to JPG or PNG, you can use a little trick to complete the conversion. You can use the default editing tools in Google Photos and save the new image as a copy. The application will convert the WEBP to JPG and save the new image in the same folder. Check it out in action.
Step 1: Launch Google Photos on your Android phone (this is the default gallery app on all Android smartphones).
Step 2: Open the WEBP image.
Step 3: Tap Edit at the bottom.
Step 4: You can make minimal changes or press the Advanced button to improve the photo. After you edit the image, a Save button will appear in the bottom right corner.
Step 5: Click Save and select ‘Save as Copy’.
Step 6: Find the saved photos from the same folder. Swipe up on the photo and you’ll see the JPG format.
2. Use Samsung Gallery App to Convert WEBP to JPG
Samsung Galaxy phones come with another Gallery app with OneDrive integration. You can resize the WEBP image using the default editing tools and save a new copy as JPG. It’s another neat workaround to convert WEBP images to JPG without using a third party app.
Step 1: Launch the Gallery app on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
Step 2: Open a WEBP image and click on the edit button (pencil icon) at the bottom.
Step 3: You can apply any filter but if you want to keep the original look, just resize the image. Tap the barbecue menu (three vertical dots) in the bottom right corner and select Resize.
Step 4: You can increase or decrease the image resolution and click Save at the top.
The Gallery app will save the new image in JPG format. Your photo is now ready to share and use.
3. Using third-party apps
The Google Play Store has capable third-party image conversion apps. But not all apps work as advertised. Some may introduce errors during conversion. We tried several apps and selected some options for you.
Step 1: Launch Google Play Store on your Android phone.
Step 2: Download the Image Converter application according to the link below.
Step 3: Open the downloaded app on your phone.
Step 4: Open the gallery and select a photo from the following menu.
Step 5: You can select several images. Tap the radio button next to JPG or PNG.
Step 6: Set the image quality to 100. Click Convert.
You can open Google Photo or your favorite gallery app and check the converted photo.
Image Converter is one of the best applications to convert several WEBP images to PNG or JPG format. With the default method, you have to open an application, edit it and save it in JPG format. It is time consuming and inconvenient when you want to convert dozens of images simultaneously. Using a third-party app speeds up the process and gets the job done in no time.
Convert WEBP images on the go
Google’s WEBP image format has certain advantages, but it is not yet widely adopted. When you have incompatibility issues, use the trick above to convert WEBP to JPG or PNG on Android.
