If you have ever tried to download an image from any specific particular website, and it was downloaded in a setup or format which will not open in your phone image gallery or your photo viewer application of your selection. So here we explain how you can save Google’s WebP images as a JPG or PNG.
Google’s WEBP image format is really good its erratic compacting systems can show images at just about two-thirds the size of the same image offered in JPEG or PNG format. Regardless of the years of development or production, we can say that it is plainly featured in Google products.
And experiencing extensive promotion, WEBP is still not completely guided by a few of the most common image tools all over, like Microsoft’s Photos app though it is guided by the older Windows Photo Viewer. Here’s how to save a WEBP image in a more common format.
Steps:
- Head to a webpage that contains a WEBP image.
- Highlight the URL.
- Tap on right-click.
- And then click on Copy.
- Fire up Edge.
- Tap on right-clicking the address bar and clicks Paste.
- And then tap on entering.
- Then click on the three dots in the top right corner.
- Then tap to open the “Settings and More” menu.
- Look through the options and click “Reload in Internet Explorer Mode”.
- It’ll be near the bottom.
- If the website does the proper server-side conversion.
- The page will look the same.
- But this time all images will be in either JPEG or PNG format.
- Tap on right-click on the image.
- And then click “Save Picture As.
- Navigate to a destination folder
- Tap on the “Save”.
- Then your image will download to that folder.
- That’s it. Navigate to the image.
- Now you can open or edit like you would any other JPEG.
With the help of MS Paint:
- If you use Windows 10 or Windows 11.
- You can download a WEBP image to your hard drive.
- Then use MS Paint to open it.
Now the question is that why not use a segment of software already on your PC to change or convert any images you have? Paint change WEBP into JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and several other formats as well, without downloading any extra software.
- Right-click on the image.
- Then click Open with Paint.
- If it’s not set to open WEBP files by default.
- Once you open the image in Paint.
- click File Save as then.
- Tap to choose a format from the list available.
- Choose a destination for the file, then click “Save.”
- Once your image is finished converting.
- It will appear in the folder you saved it.
Steps for using Microsoft Edge’s Internet Explorer Mode:
For that, at first, you have to confirm that you have internet explorer after that you can follow all the steps given below-
- One browser.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer.
- Doesn’t support WEBP.
- So, if a website uses the .webp file.
- It has to serve JPEG or PNG versions.
- Those same images to Microsoft Edge.
- It’s running in Internet Explorer mode.
- Getting JPEG or PNG versions of the image on a website.
- Is often as simple as just opening it in Edge’s Internet Explorer mode.
- And then download the image from that browser.
Steps for converting and downloading WebP format photos as JPG or PNG photos:
There are so many methods you can convert a WebP format photo into a JPEG or PNG photo. So, let us start with the first method-As the web format is quite new, it is not supported by all browsers.
- So, let’s move from Google.
- The Google Chrome browser is supported.
- But if you use another browser such as Internet Explorer, or Safari.
- The format won’t be supported.
- Websites know it.
- And use techniques to serve JPG or PNG photos instead of WebP format.
- When the browser does not support.
What you can do in that situation:
- First copy the URL of the webpage from which you have to download.
- Then paste the image into a browser where Web API format is not supported.
- If you are using Mac, you can use Safari.
- And if you are on Windows.
- And you can use Internet Explorer or Edge Browser.
- For that, You will have to download the photo on your system.
- As well as you generally do by right-clicking.
- And then tap to save the picture.
Now switch to the second method:
- Instead of downloading or saving the image on your computer.
- Tap on right-click and copy the image.
- Which will save it in the clipboard.
- Now you have to open paint.net.
- If you are on Windows.
- And if you are on a Mac.
- Then you can open Notes.
- And then paste the image there.
- Then you have to tap on double click.
- And then tap to open it in Preview.
- It will give you the option to save the photo in JPG format.
- by going to File and then clicking on Save.
It is a long process, so here we explore the third method, which will help you to do using several steps you can complete this process.
Move to the third method:
- The third method requires you to install a Chrome extension.
- Similar extensions are also available for other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox.
- You will find many Chrome extensions that allow you to take a screenshot within the browser.
- The one that Nimbus. (Chrome extension link).
- Nimbus lets you quickly take a screenshot of the web page in the Chrome web browser.
- All you have to do is highlight the area which has the image.
- And then take the screenshot to save it on a computer.
- In fever JPG or PNG format.
- Now simply install Chrome Extension known as Save Image as You Want.
- This lets you save any image in either, PNG, JPEG, or WEBP format.
