WebP is advanced but not universally compatible:

  • Older software (old Photoshop, Office, viewers) don't support it
  • Old devices and printers don't recognize it
  • Many upload systems only accept JPG
  • JPG is the most universally compatible format

FAQ

Does WebP to JPG lose quality?

Some. JPG is lossy. For maximum quality convert to PNG instead; for everyday use JPG is fine.

It's not broken — your software just doesn't support WebP. Convert it to JPG or PNG with the [Format Convert tool](https://img-tools.top/convert).
