How to Convert WebP to JPG on Mac (Without Installing Apps)

3 min read

You right-click an image on Google Images, select "Save Image As...", and instead of a nice .jpg, you get a .webp file. You double-click it, it opens in a browser, or Preview acts weird. You just want a normal image!

The macOS Struggle

While macOS Preview can open WebP files in newer versions, exporting them back to JPG often involves:

  1. Opening the file.
  2. File > Export.
  3. Changing the format dropdown.
  4. Sliding the quality slider.
  5. Clicking Save.

Doing this for 10 files is a nightmare.

The Browser Solution

Since you are already in your browser, just use LocalImageConverter.

  • Drag your WebP files onto the window.
  • Drop them.
  • Download as JPGs.

It's faster than opening Preview, and you can do 50 files at once.
