WebP to JPG
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
WebP to JPG conversion is useful when the application or target device does not yet support WebP. Since JPGs do not have an alpha, the transparent area of WebP should be leveled to the background color, usually white. If the source WebP uses lossy compression, storing it into JPG will add a new generation of compression so that the quality can decrease slightly.
Key points
- JPG doesn't support transparency so the alpha should be leveled
- Repeated lossy compression can add fine artifacts
- Use the 85-90 quality to keep the photo detail.
- JPG is highly compatible with older devices and applications
- For a transparent logo, PNG is more appropriate than JPG
