Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Use an online converter in Chrome
Open Chrome on your Android device. Go to formatdrop.com. Upload your WebP file using the image converter. The conversion happens in your browser — tap the download link to save the JPG to your Downloads folder. This needs no app installation and works for occasional conversions.

Use a converter app
Install Image Converter by Imink from the Play Store (free, no watermark for basic use). Open the app, select your WebP file, choose JPEG as output format, set quality (85–90%), and tap Convert. The JPG saves to your Pictures or Downloads folder.

Save as copy via Google Photos (workaround)
Open the WebP in Google Photos. Tap Edit → apply any minor edit such as a brightness adjustment → tap Save Copy. Google Photos saves the edited copy as JPG. This is a quick workaround but adds a compression step. For precise quality control, use a dedicated converter app.

Confirm the JPG is saved correctly
Open the converted JPG in your Gallery or Files app. Long-press the file and check Details to confirm the extension is .jpg. The converted JPG should open in any app that views photos on your Android device.
Why convert WebP to JPG?
Android often downloads images from the web in WebP format, which some apps and platforms don't accept. Converting to JPG ensures the image works in WhatsApp, email, older apps, and photo printing services.
Your files never leave your device
FormatDrop runs the conversion engine entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. No file upload. No server. Nothing stored. You can verify this by opening DevTools → Network tab and watching: zero upload requests.
