content: Help, want to bulk convert .webp format.No, I do not want to go online and upload my source images.No, I do not want a 100 megabyte app to download.I just want an image converter app, in the neighborhood of 10mb which can make me .bmp or .png of the source files.And, I've seen a universal converter software which actually uploads images to the web to convert. I mean, how dumb is this?What can I use?

content: I use Irfanview as my image viewer.https://www.irfanview.com/. It has batch conversion capability. I've never used that feature before but it only took about two minutes to figure it out.

content: If you have Linux (even WSL linux under Windows) you can use imagemagik (I can never spell it and probably got it wrong again here) to convert. It's scriptable also.in the old days something likefind ./ -iname "*.webp" -exec convert '{}' '{}'.jpg \;then you can delete the .webp and rename the jpgs to clean them up, with something likerm *.webprename *.webp.jpg *.jpg *.jpgSome time ago they renamed "convert" to something else but I can't remember the details. Last time I tried, "convert" is an alias that still works but you get a message about what command name you should use.I'm typing this off the top of my head after some long days of work and not much sleep so please verify by testing in a safe area so you don't verifry

content: For a nice GUI app there is the freewareXnViewwhich does image editing and converting and capturing. It has a bulk convert feature and I've used it (singly rather than bulk) to convert webp to a proper image format.

content: imagemagick ("mogrify" or "convert") is what most of the online converters will be using behind the scenes.
