Can I control the output quality?
Where a quality control is shown on the page you can lower it for smaller files or raise it for better detail. Browser conversions default to quality 92 out of 100; server conversions use 90 for JPG and 80 for WebP.
My WebP file will not convert
Make sure the file really is WebP (renaming an extension does not change the format) and that it opens correctly on your device. Password-protected, DRM-protected or corrupted files are rejected. If the file is very large, try again with a smaller one.
The output does not look right
Older software, some email clients and some print workflows cannot open WebP files, which is the usual reason to convert them.
