Indeed, all images on Facebook can be transcoded to webp by adding .webp suffix to the URL.

I think you can solve you problem by removing the ".webp" extension in the URL. This

should get you the original image.

Example:

WebP version: https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/12486_585421908144416_1266107680_n.jpg.webp

Original JPG: https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/12486_585421908144416_1266107680_n.jpg

There's numerous ways to convert from webp files. Here are some examples (non exhaustive!)

* use 'dwebp' tool (windows executables are available here: https://code.google.com/p/webp/downloads/list)

* online converters. There's quite some available that are webp-aware, here's an example: http://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-jpg

* offline tools: Konvertor (http://www.logipole.com/konvertor_en.htm), Picasa client, NxConvert (http://www.xnview.com/en/xnconvert/), ...

* you can even upload the webp file to Google+ and further edit it from there...

* ...

(sorry for the tools i missed here; please extend this list!)

@raim

does xnconvert actual version of webp?

support of alpha channel, metadata a.s.o.?

[Pascal Massimino]

Re,

... and of course, i forgot the one i'm using everyday: ImageMagick 6.8!

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows

It's as simple as 'convert in.webp out.jpg'

 

Just make sure you have version 6.8 and up ('identify --version' e.g. Or just 'convert --version', too)

Hi,

there's also an open-source editing program named JPEGView which (unlike what the name says) can

handle a lot of image formats, including WebP. It's based on WIC:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpegview

(source tree: http://sourceforge.net/p/jpegview/code/HEAD/tree/)

It's three years past your post, but I had the same issue. What you do is click on the right top "Manage in Google Photos" and that is where it will allow you to download as .jpg

Hope it helps. Three years later... :)

Good! Note that actually, this "Download" menu will let you download the original image. Could be .jpg or anything else.

 

Hope it helps. Three years later... :)

We shouldn't have to resort to converters, they should have just stayed as universal extensions, not this proprietary webp bullshit that no one uses.

[salih....@gmail.com]

chrome should continue to give us the option to save in what ever format we choose. Dont force this webp crap on us!

[bba...@gmail.com]

change firefox!  many year chose Chrome but now firefox can save without webp (i hate webp)

It seems bitching hasn't changed them. I found this thread with the WTF Google. 

They think it is progress.

[ric...@gmail.com]

You say click on the top right. Right top of what?

[64bi...@gmail.com]

And then I realized it.  I've felt this way before. 

When a product suddenly couldn't do what it should automatically be able to do... 

Case in point. 

Every single browser since the dawn of a GUI could do.  "Save as" (or Save Image As)

  "OMG... It's a .jpeg... "

"not a problem, it's still saved as a .jpeg."
 
  "OMG, It's an animated .gif file!" 

"not a problem, it's still saved as a .gif"

  "OMG, it's an .mpg file!"

"yeah... stupid.. it's still a .mpg... like every other type of file you click on, it will save properly because the value of the data tells the browser what it is"

OMG.. I visit my normal pages and even on my own Server and .jpg files display; but when I right click Save As, I can only save a .webp, even if I change it to all and specify .jpg.. it won't open as a .jpg

Yeah... You are using Google Chrome.  STOP USING GOOGLE CHROME. 

Open Firefox and Save As... just like always.

See, this is what you have to do, when Google decides, "I've got a what if" without consulting OR GIVING THEM THE OPTION TO "SAVE AS" NORMALLY. 

I hate to yell; but Google doing this purposely (because of THEIR wants) reminds me of when Ubuntu forced Unity on everyone (and I would not that I've been using Linux Mint EVER SINCE.. so hopefully they will see enough of us bail to "TAKE A HINT".)

What really pisses me off about the attitude of Google personnel that understand the issue when asked in Forums, and then they play stupid with an insulting can response about how they don't "convert data".  That angered me more than anything.  This was (and is) a purposeful coding FUNCTION.  Extensions SHOULD NOT be necessary for save as and every damn web developer knows it. 

So with that in mind.  The only functioning solution is to NOT use Chrome.  Extensions don't work, and I have found a couple that are outright abusive (remove harvesting!).    

Just use Firefox.  'nuf said.

[yac...@gmail.com]

Unfortunately, this is now affecting Firefox as well. Noticed it for the first time today and googled to find this thread about the issue going back years on Chrome. Looks like Mozilla has followed Google on this one and now some sites with jpg files are only offering Save As webp crap.

[ni...@ashkir.com]

I just want to be able to save as jpg/\. WebP is faster but the web isnt ready for it. Let rightclicking save/convert back to original/

[WTFAlphabet]

How about they shove this proprietary attempt to extend your control of web content where the sun doesn't shine. If the trade off for their technology improvements means feeding this anti-competitive market behavior then they are no longer developing for a better product, they are just grasping at market share control. No problem with that if that is who they are as a company, they should just stop pedaling the notion users are a priority when it's clear to any reasonable person that the priority are the investors. Even when their interests are at odds with ours. 

Alphabet's insidious hypocrisy needs to come to an end, and like Facebook and Amazon, it needs to be broken up into smaller companies. Evidence demonstrates it will do society, businesses and markets harm in the process of self regulating or experimenting with their expansion.

Maybe not the forum for this discussion, true, but my appeal is not to the institution, is to the users who enable it.

[gas...@inbox.lv]

This really doesn't do anyone any good, just revert this. I can't even save .jpg files anymore, they automatically save as webp. 

😠

i like how no  one answered your question : im just as lost.....

[angela13c...@gmail.com]

I hope I'm not muddying the waters with this comment, but I had a problem saving what the URL said was a JPG to anything but a WEBP file.   I didn't want to resort to one of those online, supposedly free, converters.  For now, this seems to work:

Bring the target graphic up in its own window (this is where the URL has ".jpg" at the end).  Then go up to Chrome's "Customize and control Google Chrome" icon in the upper right corner of the browser - the three vertical dots, at the time of this writing.  Left-click it and go down on the drop-down menu to the row that has Edit | Cut | Copy | Paste and select Copy.  The graphic image is now in the Windows clipboard, apparently as a JPG.  I opened Corel PHOTOPaint and created a new image by pasting from the clipboard, which could be saved in many formats, including JPG.  I also was able to paste it from the clipboard into PAINT.net, another (free) graphic editor I often use.  I can't say which all graphic-editing applications will do this, but it seems like there wouldn't be any limitations.  (Like I said, for now, anyway.)

I get that the format is "better", meaning smaller, and thus faster for transmittal across the web. It is clear that this format is a WEB ONLY use. I understand, I get it, I can appreciate it, and see its value -- ON LINE.

But it royally STINKS when you want to use an image in a report, to be printed for students!  Google has seriously alienated this education/researcher by making it more time consuming to teach/make presentations for use OFF-line.

This is the kind of stupid, short-sightedness one would expect from a greedy, inexperienced, novice trying to impress a boss - not the supposedly seasoned members of a corporation.
