.webp — WebP Image
Image image/webp
What a .webp file is
Google's web image format, supporting both lossy and lossless compression plus transparency and animation. Typically 25–35% smaller than JPEG at matching quality.
How to open it
Every current browser opens it. Older desktop software may not — convert to PNG or JPEG.
Worth knowing
WebP is the sensible default for images on a website today. Its successor AVIF compresses better still but encodes more slowly.
Converting it
You can convert WEBP in your browser without uploading it anywhere: WEBP to PNG, WEBP to JPG.
