In some situations, you can make a slight tweak to the URL of an image to display in another format. While this method doesn\u2019t work on all websites, if you need to quickly force Google Play Store to convert an image for you, this neat little trick could save you some time.<\/p>\n<p>Open Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, or Opera \u2014 almost any browser that supports WEBP image display. Head to a site that uses WEBP images for bandwidth saving, like any of the app listings on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient\">play.google.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-820903\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Stardew-Valley-Chrome.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Stardew Valley on the Google Play Store.\" width=\"650\" height=\"413\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Right-click or long-press one of the images, and then click the \u201cOpen Image in New Tab\u201d option. The WEBP image then gets its own tab all to itself, and the URL at the top of that tab is\u00a0a link directly to the image asset \u2014 without rendering anything else on the page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-820908\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/rw-appears-on-the-end-of-the-URL.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"An example of &quot;-rw&quot; at the end of a URL from an image on the Google Play Store.\" width=\"650\" height=\"489\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Click the URL bar, delete the last three characters in the address (the \u201c-rw\u201d), and then press \u201cEnter.\u201d The same image will be displayed again, but this time it\u2019s rendered in its original format, usually JPEG or PNG. Right-click or long-press the image, and then select the \u201cSave image as\u201d option. That downloads it in the original format \u2014 just like any other file.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-820918\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/removing-rw-makes-it-png.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"A download prompt with a PNG image rather than a WebP image.\" width=\"650\" height=\"471\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You might be left wondering, \u201cIsn\u2019t there an easier way to do this?\u201d There is \u2014 as with most things related to browsers, the solution is a browser extension. There are plenty of extensions out there that\u2019ll automatically handle the conversion of WEBP files into any other image format you like, but you probably shouldn\u2019t use them. Browser extensions are a privacy nightmare, and you should avoid using them whenever they\u2019re not strictly necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
