How to convert WebP to PDF

Wrap a WebP image into a PDF in seconds. Chrome saves screenshots as WebP, websites serve images as WebP — but Word, Outlook, and many older systems still don't recognize them. Wrapping in PDF fixes that. PDFly handles the conversion in your browser — drop the file, click Convert, and download.

WebP is the format Chrome and most modern websites use today — typically 25-35% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality. The catch: it's a relatively new format, and a surprising number of business apps still throw "unsupported file type" errors when you drop a WebP into them. Word documents, government forms, vendor portals, even some print drivers will reject WebP outright but happily accept the same image as a PDF.

PDFly decodes the WebP using your browser's native image engine (every modern Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari supports WebP) and embeds it into a PDF page. No server upload, no quality loss, no plug-ins to install.
