Convert WebP to PNG
This is the conversion to choose when the WebP has transparent areas you need to keep — a logo, an icon, a cut-out product shot. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparency survives intact, and PNG is accepted virtually everywhere WebP is not.
Files are decoded and re-encoded inside this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded — you can disconnect from the internet after this page loads and conversion still works.
It is also the right choice for screenshots, diagrams and anything containing text, where PNG's lossless compression avoids the soft haloing that lossy formats produce around hard edges.
How to convert WebP to PNG
- Drag your WebP files onto the box above, or click it to browse.
- Each file converts in place — no upload, no queue.
- Download them one by one, or grab the whole batch as a ZIP.
Transparency is the whole point
If you convert a transparent WebP to JPG, the transparency is destroyed — every see-through pixel is filled in with a solid colour and there is no way to recover it afterwards. For a logo intended to sit on top of a coloured background, that turns a usable asset into a white rectangle.
PNG stores the alpha channel per pixel, including partial transparency in anti-aliased edges, so the converted file behaves exactly as the original did when composited over other content.
Lossless, at a cost
PNG does not throw any pixel data away. For graphics with flat colour regions this is nearly free — a PNG of a simple logo may even be smaller than the WebP. For photographs it is expensive, often several times the size, because photographic noise is fundamentally hard to compress losslessly.
So: PNG for graphics, logos, screenshots and anything with transparency. JPG for photographs where size matters.
No further generation loss
Once an image is PNG, opening and re-saving it does not degrade it. That makes this a sensible intermediate format if the image is about to go through several editing passes, even if the final export ends up being a JPG.
Frequently asked questions
Does this preserve transparency?
Yes. The alpha channel is carried through, including partial transparency at anti-aliased edges. This is the main reason to pick PNG over JPG for this conversion.
Will the PNG be larger than the WebP?
For photographs, usually yes — often substantially. For logos, icons and flat graphics it is frequently similar or even smaller, because PNG compresses large areas of uniform colour very efficiently.
Is any quality lost?
Nothing is lost in the PNG encoding step. Any loss already present from the original WebP compression remains, but no new loss is introduced.
Can I convert animated WebP to an animated PNG?
No. Only the first frame is extracted. Producing APNG output requires a dedicated encoder that browsers do not provide.
Is anything uploaded?
No. All processing is local to your browser tab.
