Add a WebP image and get a one-page PDF back. An animated WebP gives its first frame only.
To convert webp to pdf, add the .webp file, keep PDF as the output format and download the result. In our test, a 24 KB WebP became a one-page pdf of 1.4 MB, about 59 times larger, because the PDF stores the pixels without WebP's compression. An animated WebP gives its first frame only.
Transfers use HTTPS, and files converted on the free tier are deleted after 24 hours, so the result is not a long-term archive. Quality depends on the source file, so open the PDF file once before you share it.

WebP (Web Picture format)
Google's image format for the web, released in 2010. One file type covers lossy photos, lossless graphics, alpha transparency and animation, usually at a smaller size than JPG or PNG. All current browsers display it, though desktop software support is uneven.
PDF (Portable Document Format)
A fixed-layout document format published as ISO 32000. Each page records the exact position of every character, image and line, usually with the fonts embedded, so it displays and prints identically in any reader and is awkward to edit.
A 1200 × 800 px lossy WebP with transparency, made by us, converted on indox.org
In our test a WebP with transparent corners came out as a PDF where the transparency is stored as a separate soft mask. A transparent corner pixel rendered white, not black, and semi-transparent edges blended with white.
Pages that rank for this search disagree about animated files, so we measured it: a 12-frame animated WebP gave a one-page PDF showing frame 1. PDF has no animation, so the other frames are not in the file.
The conversion runs on indox servers, so it works the same on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone. You do not need an image editor that understands WebP.
The PDF page follows the pixel size of the image at 300 pixels per inch. A 1200 × 800 px image gave a 288 × 192 pt page, which is 4 × 2.7 inches. You can see why the page looks small before you print it.
Drop the file on the box or choose it from your device. Keep the original WebP: the PDF cannot be turned back into it.
Check that PDF is the output format on the converter, then start the conversion. In our test it took 3.3 seconds from the click to Completed, for a still file and for an animated one.
Save the PDF and open it before you send it. Look at the page size and the background, and for an animated source check that the frame shown is the one you wanted.
You hand over one WebP image and take away a one-page PDF. The page tells you before you convert what happens to transparency, to animation and to file size, because we measured each of them on indox.org.
The upload box shows the live size limit before you add a file. Signing in raises it; a paid plan does not change it.
WEBP in, PDF out. Pick another output on the converter if you need a different format.
Files are encrypted in transit over HTTPS and processed on indox infrastructure.
Free-tier files are kept for 24 hours after the job finishes, then deleted automatically.
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Only one picture from an animated WebP | PDF has no animation and the first frame is used | Export the frame you want as a still image first, then convert it |
| The PDF is far bigger than the WebP | The PDF stores pixels with simple run-length coding, not WebP compression | Keep the WebP for the web and use the PDF only where a PDF is required, or try WebP to JPG if a smaller image is enough |
| Transparent areas look white | The page is white and the alpha is a soft mask over it | Place the image on the background colour you want before converting |
| The page looks small in a print dialog | The page is sized at 300 ppi, so 1200 px is 4 inches wide | Scale to fit in the print dialog, or use a larger image |
| A form still rejects the file | The form may limit size or page count | Check its limit; the PDF is much bigger than the WebP |
| Compared on | WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An image format for the web | A fixed-layout document format |
| Pages | One image, or the frames of one animation | One or many pages, none animated |
| Transparency | Alpha channel in the image itself | Possible as a soft mask, shown on the page background |
| Size | Small, with lossy or lossless compression | Larger when it holds a plain image, as in our test |
| Where it opens | Browsers; desktop support is uneven | Practically every reader, printer and upload form |
| Typical use | Web pages and saved web images | Forms, printing, signing and sharing |

No tool matches that search.
Open the converter, add your WebP file, keep PDF as the output and download the result. You do not need to install anything. In our test we used no account and saw no limit message for a single file.
You get a one-page PDF showing the first frame. Our 12-frame test file gave a single page, and the picture matched frame 1. A PDF cannot play animation, so the other frames are dropped.
The transparency is stored in the PDF as a soft mask, and the page itself is white. A transparent corner pixel rendered white in our test. A viewer or printer shows your picture on that white page.
WebP compresses the picture, and the PDF in our test stored the pixels with run-length coding only. Our 24 KB WebP became a 1.4 MB PDF. How much larger it gets depends on the picture; a plain gradient compresses better than a detailed photo.
The page follows the pixel size of the image at 300 pixels per inch. In our test 1200 × 800 px gave a 288 × 192 pt page, and 640 × 360 px gave 153.6 × 86.4 pt. Multiply pixels by 72 and divide by 300 to get points.
This converter takes one file per job, and we did not test a multi-file upload. Convert each WebP, then join the PDFs with a merge tool.
The PDF in our test held the pixels with a lossless filter, so the conversion adds no new loss. If the WebP was lossy, its artifacts are still in the picture.
On a server: the conversion runs on indox servers. The result page in our test said that files on the free tier are deleted after 24 hours; read the current wording on the page before you rely on it.
No. The PDF holds the image as a picture, and no text recognition is added. Run OCR on the PDF if you need selectable text.
