Can I convert several WebP files at once?

Yes. Batch upload is supported on this tool — queue up to 50 files and the finished ODD files come back as a single zip.

More about converting WebP to ODD

Wraps your image in an OpenDocument drawing so it opens directly in LibreOffice Draw for annotation and layout. WebP is a delivery format, not a working format. Browsers render it everywhere, but the moment a .webp leaves the browser it hits software that never caught up — Photoshop only added WebP support in version 23.2, Office before 2021 will not place one, Outlook will not render one inline, and a long tail of upload forms validate against a hard-coded list that has never heard of it.

ODD — OpenDocument Drawing — is zipped xml with supported and support described as: libreoffice and openoffice. Where WebP is optimised for the last hop to a browser, ODD is what the software on the other side of that hop is expecting. Converting is a one-step fix for the "this file type is not supported" wall.

Size is the trade-off worth knowing about: ODD files are varies with content. Vector shapes are rasterised and can no longer be edited as objects.

When you'd use this

Reasons to convert WebP to ODD usually come down to compatibility, file-size, or specific feature requirements. Common situations:

  • An app or platform only accepts ODD uploads.
  • You need a feature unique to ODD (e.g. transparency, vector scaling, animation, multi-page pages, etc.) that WebP doesn't provide.
  • You're optimising file size — modern formats often produce smaller files than the older format you started with.
  • You need a single archival format across a project so files behave consistently in the same viewer.

How to do it in webp.now

  1. Open the WebP → ODD tool on webp.now.
  2. Drag your WebP file onto the drop zone, or click Select files. You can drop a whole folder of files at once.
  3. The output is fixed to ODD. If the format supports extra options (page size, transparency background, quality, EXIF stripping), tweak them in the right-hand panel.
  4. Click Convert. The job runs on our server and finishes in a few seconds for typical photos.
  5. Download the result. Files stay in storage for 24 hours and are then permanently deleted.

The entire flow is free for the first 10 jobs per day with no signup required. A free account doubles that quota; a premium plan removes the limit entirely.

Tips and common pitfalls

  • If the goal is simply "make this open in my software", ODD is usually the right call — but check whether the destination accepts PNG or JPG first, since those are accepted even more widely.
  • Convert from the highest-quality WebP you have. Each lossy re-encode costs a little detail, and starting from an already-compressed copy compounds it.
  • Strip metadata before sharing. Images saved from the web can carry the original photographer's EXIF, including camera serial and, occasionally, GPS coordinates.
  • Batch the job rather than converting one at a time — the queue runs conversions in parallel and returns a single zip.
  • Keep the .webp original if the image is also going back onto a web page. Serving the ODD version instead will cost you page weight.
