This WebP to PNG converter is for the moment a picture saved from a website turns out to be a .webp file and the program you need it for will not open it. Add the files and each becomes a PNG at once, with its transparent background intact. The work is done by your browser, so the pictures are not sent anywhere and there is no limit on how many you convert.
How to Convert WebP to PNG
- Add your files. Drop the .webp images on the upload box or click it to choose them.
- Wait a moment. Each file is converted as it is added. There is no button to press and no setting to choose.
- Save the PNGs. Download them one at a time, or press Download All to get a single ZIP.
What the Conversion Keeps and What It Changes
| Result | |
|---|---|
| Transparency | Kept. Both formats store an alpha channel, and our test file came through with it unchanged. |
| Picture quality | Unchanged. PNG is lossless, so the PNG shows exactly what the WebP showed. |
| File size | Larger. In our tests a 30 KB photo became 366 KB and an 80 KB graphic with transparency became 141 KB. |
| Animation | Lost. An animated WebP gives its first frame only. |
| Width and height | Unchanged. |
When PNG Is the Right Target
Choose PNG when the picture has a transparent background, when it is a logo, icon or screenshot with sharp edges, or when you are going to edit it and save it several times. For an ordinary photograph that only has to open somewhere, a JPG is a better fit, because it will be a fraction of the size. The WebP to JPG Converter does that. To turn a PNG back into a small file for a website, use the PNG to WebP Converter.
Why You Got a WebP in the First Place
Websites serve WebP because the files are small and every current browser can show them. The browser saves what it was sent, so Save Image As gives you a .webp even when the address of the picture ends in .jpg or .png. Programs outside the browser have been slower to follow, which is why the file may refuse to open in an older editor or be rejected by an upload form.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the PNG keep the transparent background?
Yes. We converted a WebP with a transparent background and the PNG kept every transparent and half-transparent pixel.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?
PNG stores every pixel exactly and WebP usually does not. In our test a 30 KB WebP photo became a 366 KB PNG. Nothing is wrong with the file. That is the cost of the format.
Does the picture look better as a PNG?
No. It looks the same. Detail removed when the WebP was made does not come back. The PNG only makes sure nothing more is lost if you edit and save it again.
Can I convert an animated WebP?
You get the first frame as a still picture. A PNG file holds one image.
Is there a limit on files or size?
No fixed limit. The pictures are converted by your own device, so the only limit is its memory. For very large batches, add a few dozen at a time.
Are my pictures uploaded?
No. The conversion runs inside the browser tab and the files stay on your device.
