Convert WebP
to JPG.
JPG is the one format nothing refuses - and target size mode gets each file under whatever upload limit you are up against.
Processed in memory - never stored.
The format nothing refuses
Save an image from almost any site today and you get a .webp. Browsers made that switch years ago; everything else did not. Attach one to an email and half the recipients see a broken preview. Hand it to a print lab, an Etsy listing, a job-application portal or an older copy of Photoshop and you get the same shrug. JPG is the file nothing has refused in thirty years.
Squish decodes the WebP and re-encodes it as a standard JPG. Drop one file or a few hundred, several convert at a time, and Download all hands the batch back as a zip. Nothing to install, and images are processed in memory and never stored.
Small enough for the upload box
This is where JPG beats a PNG copy. Converting WebP to PNG is about getting an exact, pixel-faithful duplicate, and the file usually comes out several times larger than the one you started with, because PNG cannot discard anything. JPG can, so a converted photo normally lands near the original size or below it. When the form has a hard cap - a few MB for a marketplace listing, 500KB for a client portal, 100KB for an application form - target size is already on, so type the number in KB and Squish searches the quality setting per image until each one fits under it. Want the exact copy instead? WebP to PNG does that job.
Common questions
- What happens to transparent areas?
- WebP can carry an alpha channel and JPG cannot, so anything transparent is flattened onto white. Squish tells you when that happens: the card shows Transparency flattened onto white (JPG has no alpha), so a logo with a cut-out background does not surprise you later. If the transparency has to survive, convert to PNG instead.
- Does the JPG look worse than the WebP?
- Slightly, in principle. WebP is lossy and JPG is lossy, so this is a second compression pass over an image that was already compressed once, and nothing recovers detail the WebP threw away. At a high quality setting the difference is invisible at normal viewing size, and the compare slider lets you check before committing.
- Will the file get smaller?
- Often, but do not count on it. WebP is the more efficient format, so matching its quality can take a slightly bigger JPG. The grid shows the before and after size for each image.
- Can I resize and rename in the same pass?
- Yes. Set a max width or height and each image is resized before encoding, and rename on export with {name} and {index} tokens. EXIF orientation is applied so nothing lands sideways, and metadata including GPS is stripped from the output.
- What happens to my files?
- Processed in memory and never stored - nothing is retained once your converted file comes back. Free, no signup, no watermark.
