PNG is lossless, so the image keeps its transparency and loses no more detail. Files come out larger than the WebP, often several times larger for photos.
What converting WebP to PNG does
WebP is the image format most large websites now use, because its files are small. PNG is the older lossless format that every editor, office app, and design tool can open. Both can store transparency.
This converter opens each WebP in your browser and saves exactly the pixels it shows as a PNG. See-through areas stay see-through, and nothing is compressed away. The one trade-off is size: a PNG is usually larger than the WebP it came from.

WebP to PNG or WebP to JPG: which to choose
| PNG | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Transparency | Kept | Filled with a solid color |
| Quality | No further loss | A little more loss |
| File size for photos | Large | Small |
| Best for | Logos, icons, stickers, screenshots, images you will edit | Photos, email, and uploads with a size limit |
If the image is a photo with no transparent parts, the WebP to JPG converter gives you a much smaller file that looks the same.
Why a PNG is bigger than the WebP it came from
Most WebP images on the web are lossy. They stay small by keeping an approximation of the picture that looks right to the eye. PNG has no lossy mode, so it has to store every one of those pixels exactly. That is why a WebP photo of 100 KB can become a PNG of several hundred KB or more.
Lossless WebP files are closer. Google's own tests found them about 26% smaller than the same image saved as PNG, so converting those grows the file by a smaller amount.
If the size matters, the image compressor can shrink the PNG by reducing its colors while keeping the transparency.
When to convert WebP to PNG
- ·Anyone editing in software that will not open WebP. Older versions of photo editors, design apps, and Microsoft Office cannot open WebP. PNG opens in all of them without losing any detail.
- ·People who need a transparent background. Logos, icons, stickers, and cut-out product photos saved from the web are often WebP. Converting to PNG keeps the see-through areas, which JPG cannot do.
- ·Anyone keeping an image to edit again. PNG can be opened, edited, and saved any number of times with no loss, so it is a safe working copy.
- ·People uploading to sites that ask for PNG. Some upload forms and sticker or emote makers only accept PNG or JPG. PNG is the one to pick when the image has transparency.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert WebP to PNG?
- Add your WebP images to the converter above and wait for each file to finish. Then download the PNGs one by one or all at once as a ZIP. Everything happens in your browser.
- Does converting WebP to PNG lose quality?
- No. PNG is lossless, so the PNG holds exactly the pixels the WebP showed. It cannot bring back detail that was already lost when a lossy WebP was made, but nothing more is lost on the way to PNG.
- Does the PNG keep the transparent background?
- Yes. Fully and partly transparent pixels are kept as they are, including soft edges around logos and cut-outs.
- Why is my PNG so much bigger than the WebP?
- Most WebP images on websites are lossy, which keeps them small by storing an approximation of the picture. PNG stores every pixel exactly, so a photo can come out several times larger. The file list shows the old and new size of each image.
- How can I make the PNG smaller?
- Run it through the image compressor and keep the format as PNG. Reducing the number of colors often shrinks a PNG a lot while keeping the transparency. If the image has no transparency and is a photo, a JPG will be much smaller.
- Can it convert animated WebP files?
- It saves the first frame as a still PNG. The converter does not make animated PNG files, and the file list marks any animated WebP so you know only one frame was kept.
- My image ends in .png but will not open or upload. Why?
- Some websites send WebP images under a .png or .jpg name, so the file is really a WebP with the wrong extension. The converter checks what is inside the file, not just its name. Add it here and you get a real PNG.
- Can I convert many WebP files at once?
- Yes. Add as many as you like, up to 50 MB each. They are converted one after another, and when more than one is ready you can download them all in a ZIP file.
- Does the PNG keep the WebP's metadata?
- No. Any EXIF or XMP data in the WebP, such as camera details or location, is left out of the PNG. Only the picture itself is converted.
- Are my images uploaded?
- No. Your browser does the conversion on your own device, so your images are never sent to a server and nothing is stored anywhere.
