article.jpg · quality ~0.92 for mail/CMS
Transparent WebP sticker → white matte
Input
sticker.webp (alpha) · background white
Output
sticker.jpg · alpha baked onto #ffffff
Transparent WebP → black matte
Input
sticker.webp · background black
Output
sticker.jpg · better for dark slide decks
Second lossy pass caution
Input
lossy-photo.webp · quality 0.6
Output
photo.jpg · visible soft mush — raise quality or use a better master
Decoder required
Input
Ancient browser cannot paint WebP
Output
Update the browser — canvas conversion needs a successful decode first
How to use
- Choose a `.webp` file your browser can decode.
- Set JPEG quality and white or black for transparent pixels.
- Download the `.jpg` and verify the matte matches the destination background.
What this tool is for
Bridge modern WebP assets back to widely compatible JPEG. Quality defaults to 0.92. Alpha cannot survive — choose a matte background before encode. Your browser must be able to decode WebP first (current browsers can).
How it works
WebP → image decode → canvas (with background fill because JPEG needs it) → `image/jpeg` blob at your quality. This can be a second lossy pass if the WebP was already lossy. Keep the WebP (or earlier master) when quality matters.
When to use it
Printers and CMS boxes that want JPEG, Outlook-era workflows, and sharing a photo with someone whose apps lack WebP.
When not to use it
Keeping transparency — use WebP to PNG instead. Archival if you still have the original camera JPEG. Ultra-low JPEG quality on an already-lossy WebP.
How it compares to related tools
WebP to PNG keeps alpha and avoids another JPEG generation for graphics. JPG to WebP moves toward the modern format. PNG to JPG is the same flatten idea from PNG.
Common mistakes
Flattening a transparent WebP logo onto white then using it on black, and double-compressing a photo until banding shows.
Alpha flattening
Same rule as PNG→JPG: JPEG has no transparency. Soft edges pick up the matte color. Prefer WebP→PNG when you must keep alpha for further editing.
Local Canvas processing
All pixels stay on your device. CaseSwitch does not host or re-host the WebP. Object URLs are local and cleaned up after use when possible.
Frequently asked questions
My browser cannot open the WebP?+
Update the browser. Canvas conversion requires the browser to decode WebP first.
Is quality the same?+
JPEG is another lossy pass if the WebP was lossy. Use a high JPEG quality and keep a copy of the WebP.
Is the image uploaded?+
No. Processing is local.
Can I keep transparency?+
Not in JPEG. Use WebP to PNG instead.
Default background?+
White (`#ffffff`). Switch to black when the JPG will sit on dark UI.
Max file size?+
Client-side limits apply (on the order of 15 MB). Compress or resize oversized assets first.
Are images uploaded to a server?+
No. Image tools use the Canvas API in your browser. Files stay on your device and object URLs are revoked after use.
