WebP converter
WebP is a modern Google format with good compression and transparency support. It speeds up websites but not every older app opens it. The converter turns WebP into JPG or PNG and back.

Why convert WebP
For a website, WebP reduces image weight without a noticeable quality loss. For archives, printing and older editors, JPG or PNG is more convenient. Reverse conversion prepares images for the web.
Transparency and quality
WebP supports transparency like PNG but weighs less. Converting to JPG loses the alpha channel and turns the background white; converting to PNG keeps transparency.
Format questions

Is WebP better than JPG?

Is transparency preserved?
PNG keeps it. JPG replaces transparent areas with white.
