WebP to PNG Converter

Convert WebP images to PNG for editing software, design tools and sites that don’t accept WebP. Transparency and dimensions are kept.

Runs in your browser. Your data is not uploaded.How our tools work

Note:
PNG is lossless, so the PNG is usually larger than the WebP. Transparency is kept. Animated WebP files are converted using their first frame.

Next step

How do I convert WebP to PNG?

Select or drop your WebP files and each one is converted to a lossless PNG in your browser, keeping its transparency and exact pixel dimensions. PNG stores every pixel without further loss, so the file is usually larger than the WebP; the tool shows the real size of each file. Download them one by one or as a ZIP.

  1. Select or drop one or more WebP files. There is no quality setting, because PNG is lossless.
  2. Each image is converted immediately, with its transparency and dimensions unchanged.
  3. Check the sizes, then download the PNGs one by one or together as a ZIP file.

Key features

  • Transparency kept

    Transparent and semi-transparent areas stay exactly as they are in the WebP.

  • Same dimensions

    The PNG has the same width and height as the original, so nothing is stretched or cropped.

  • No further quality loss

    PNG is lossless, so the converted image looks exactly like the decoded WebP and won’t degrade when you edit and save it again.

  • Batch conversion and ZIP

    Convert up to 30 WebP images at once and download them all as one ZIP file.

Common uses

  • Edit a WebP logo or graphic in software that doesn’t open WebP
  • Keep a transparent image transparent for slides, documents or design tools
  • Make a lossless working copy before editing an image several times

Supported formats and limits

Input
WebP (lossy or lossless, with or without transparency), up to 40 MB each. Animated WebP: first frame only
Output
PNG (lossless, with transparency)
Limits
Up to 30 files at a time. Images above about 16 megapixels are scaled down to fit browser limits, with a note

Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP?

Most WebP images on the web are lossy: they store an approximation of the picture in very few bytes. PNG stores every decoded pixel exactly, so the same image takes far more space. That is expected, and it doesn’t mean anything went wrong.

Measured: a 12-megapixel photo taken on an iPhone 14 (4032 × 3024 pixels, 3.7 MB), saved as a 1.9 MB WebP at 85%, became a 23.1 MB PNG here (24,254,643 bytes), about 12 times the size, at the same 4032 × 3024 pixels. A logo or screenshot with flat colours grows far less, because PNG compresses those well.

PNG or JPG: which should you convert to?

Choose by what happens to the image next.

  • It has transparent areas, such as a logo or a cut-out: PNG, because JPG fills them with a solid colour.
  • You will edit it and save it several times: PNG, because each JPG save loses a little more detail.
  • It is a photo going into an upload form, an email or a document: JPG. The same photo above was 3.1 MB as a JPG at 92%, under a seventh of the PNG.
  • It only needs to open in software that rejects WebP and size doesn’t matter: either works; PNG keeps the decoded pixels exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does WebP to PNG keep transparency?

Yes. PNG supports full transparency, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels are kept as they are.

Will converting improve the quality?

No. PNG keeps the image exactly as decoded from the WebP, but it can’t restore detail that lossy WebP compression already removed.

What about animated WebP files?

Only the first frame is converted, because a PNG holds a single still image.
