Convert WebP to PNG

WebP is what you get when you save an image off the modern web, and it is what a surprising amount of software still refuses to open. PNG is the way out that keeps everything: the transparency survives, and because PNG is lossless, nothing further is compressed on the way — what the WebP shows is exactly what the PNG stores.

How to convert WebP to PNG

  1. Add your WebP files

    One or a folder of saved images. They are read by your browser and never uploaded.

  2. Leave it on PNG

    Lossless from here, transparency kept. JPG is one click away when smaller matters more.

  3. Save the PNGs

    Individually, or the whole batch as a zip.

What you get

Opens in the software that refused the WebP

Older Photoshop, office suites, embroidery and cutting tools, government upload forms — the long tail of software that never learned WebP all reads PNG. That mismatch is this page's entire reason to exist.

Transparency survives the trip

A cut-out product shot or a logo on nothing keeps its alpha channel intact. Nothing is flattened onto white behind your back — that is JPG's trade, and it is a different button.

Nothing further is discarded

PNG is lossless: the decoded WebP pixels are stored exactly. If the WebP was lossy, its artefacts are faithfully kept too — no format can undo them — but from here on, nothing degrades.

Saved images stay on your machine

The conversion runs in this page. No upload, no server-side queue, no copy of your files anywhere you cannot see.

Questions about WebP and PNG

Why can my computer not open WebP files?
Browsers adopted WebP because it made pages faster; desktop software had less reason to hurry, and plenty never did. So a file every browser displays fine can be unopenable in the photo editor next to it. The gap is closing, slowly — this page exists for the meantime.
Does converting to PNG lose quality?
No. PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly, so this conversion adds zero loss. Be clear about the other direction though: if the WebP itself was saved lossily, that loss is baked in, and the PNG preserves it faithfully rather than fixing it.
Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP?
Because WebP compresses harder — that is why websites use it. Three to five times bigger is normal for photographs, less for graphics. If the size matters and transparency does not, JPG on this page is much smaller; if both matter, you already have the right file.
Should I pick PNG or JPG?
PNG when the image has transparency or will be edited again; JPG for an ordinary photo you just need to open or send, at a fraction of the size. This page defaults to PNG because that is what its searchers overwhelmingly want — the JPG button is right there for the rest.
Is it free, and is my file uploaded?
Free, no account, no limit on how many images. Everything runs in your browser. Your files are never uploaded.

If the result needs to fit under an upload limit, resize it to a size in KB. Photos from an iPhone rather than the web? That is HEIC to JPG. Or see the rest of the image tools.
