Convert WebP to PNG: what to know
Right-click, save image — and you get a .webp that your editor, your slide software or an upload form refuses. WebP is excellent for websites and poor for everything else. Converting to PNG gives you a file every program opens, keeps transparency and loses nothing, because PNG is lossless. This page converts up to 20 WebP files at once, in your browser.
Why PNG rather than JPG
Choose PNG when the WebP has transparency (logos, icons, product cut-outs), contains text or line art, or when you want to be sure nothing further is lost. Choose JPG only for photographs where file size matters more than a perfect copy — see the WebP to JPG page for that.
Animated WebP
Some WebP files are animations. PNG output keeps the first frame only; the row is labelled so you know. If you need the animation, keep the original WebP or use a dedicated animation tool.
File size expectations
A lossy WebP photograph converted to PNG will grow several times over, because the PNG stores every pixel of the decoded image losslessly. Flat graphics and screenshots stay compact. The converter optimises every PNG with OxiPNG, so the result is as small as a lossless PNG of that image gets; use the compressor's Smaller PNG mode if you need it smaller still.
Steps
Add the WebP files. PNG is preselected; Keep transparency is on. Click Convert, then download each result or a ZIP of all of them. Files are processed on your device and are not uploaded.
Questions about WebP to PNG
- Does it keep transparent backgrounds?
- Yes, by default. Untick Keep transparency to flatten onto a colour instead.
- Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP?
- WebP is usually lossy and highly compressed; PNG is lossless. Photos grow a lot, graphics less.
- What about animated WebP files?
- Only the first frame is converted, and the row says so.
