Where WEBP files come from
WEBP is an image format designed for the web. Many websites and online stores serve their images as WEBP because it's light, so when you right-click and save an image, such as a product photo, an infographic, a recipe card or a ticket, you often end up with a .webp file. Some messaging apps and design tools export WEBP too.
The trouble is that plenty of programs, printers and upload forms don't know what to do with WEBP. A PDF, on the other hand, is accepted everywhere.
Printing and archiving web images
Converting to PDF is a simple way to print a web image at a proper paper size, with margins, or to keep it as a document. Choose Letter or A4 to print, and leave the orientation on automatic so wide images like infographics or banners get a landscape page. For an archive or a screen-only document, “Same as image” makes each page exactly the size of its picture.
Several WEBP files can go into one PDF, in the order you choose: a set of product images for a quote, the pages of a downloaded comic or guide, or a collection of reference images for a project.
On a phone, saving an image from a website often gives you a WEBP file in your downloads or gallery. You can select it here directly from the mobile browser, without any app, and share the PDF straight away.
Mixing formats
You don't need to convert everything to the same format first. WEBP, JPG and PNG can be combined in one PDF. Images keep their dimensions when they're placed on the page.
If you only need the image in another format rather than a PDF, “WEBP to JPG” and “WEBP to PNG” do that directly. Animated WEBP files are treated as a still image, using the first frame.
Transparent areas in a WEBP image show the white page behind them in the PDF.
Respect the source
Images you save from websites usually belong to someone. Converting them for your own reference, printing or a purchase quote is one thing; republishing them is another, and may need the owner's permission.
Private and free
The conversion happens in your browser: your images aren't uploaded and nothing is stored. No account, no daily limit and no watermark on your PDF. If the PDF ends up heavy, “Compress PDF” can reduce it to a target size.
Because the PDF is built on your device, it also works for images you'd rather not send anywhere, like a screenshot of a booking or a downloaded ID card saved as WEBP. You can select several files at once, put them in order and download the finished document in one go.
