WebP to PNG Converter

Use this page when you hold a WebP file and need a PNG, for example because an older editor, a presentation program or an upload form refuses WebP. The settings are already prepared for that job.

1. Drag your WebP files onto the box, paste them, or click the box to choose files. You can add several at once, and the file picker lists only WebP images.
2. Check that Convert to shows PNG. It is already set. The Quality slider and the Background for transparent areas (JPEG) color are visible but have no effect on PNG output, so you can leave them alone.
3. Press Convert images. Your browser decodes and redraws each picture, which takes a few seconds for very large files, especially on a phone.
4. Compare the before and after sizes shown under each thumbnail. Expect the PNG to be larger than the WebP.
5. Press Download beside a result, or Download all to save every converted file. Each one keeps its original name with a .png ending.

WebP and PNG store pictures in different ways. A WebP photo is usually saved with lossy compression, which discards fine detail the eye rarely misses. PNG is always lossless: it keeps every pixel it is given and only packs the data efficiently. Converting therefore preserves the picture exactly as it looks now, but it cannot bring back detail the WebP already threw away.

That is why the file usually grows. As an illustration, a 1200 by 800 pixel photo saved as a 70 KB WebP holds 960,000 pixels. Stored losslessly, those same pixels commonly need well over a megabyte. Your own numbers will differ, and the tool prints the real ones for every file.

If the only goal is to get past a format restriction, a bigger file is a fair price. If size matters more than transparency, ask whether the receiving program accepts JPEG and use the WebP to JPG converter instead. A PNG that turns out too heavy can be shrunk afterwards with the image resizer.

The work happens on a canvas inside your browser, and that decides what the PNG contains:

• Transparency stays. Clear and semi-transparent areas remain see-through in the PNG. This is the main reason to pick PNG rather than JPG for a cut-out logo or sticker.
• Animation does not. An animated WebP becomes a single still frame. If you need the movement, keep the original file.
• Camera and location data is dropped. EXIF information is not carried into the new file, which is handy if you were about to share a photo.
• Color profiles are not preserved. Pictures in unusual color spaces may look slightly different in a color-managed editor.
• Pixel size is unchanged. The PNG has the same width and height as the WebP.

Files are decoded and re-encoded on your own device, so unreleased artwork and private pictures are never sent anywhere. For other format pairs, the general image converter offers PNG, JPEG and WebP in one place, and the image compressor can trim a PNG that is still too large for an email or upload limit.

Most people arrive here after a download or a save went wrong: a browser stored a product picture or a web graphic as WebP, and the program they wanted to use refused it. PNG is a safe middle ground because almost every program can open it.

• Slides and documents. Some versions of office software handle WebP poorly or not at all, while a PNG drops in without trouble.
• Image editors. Older editors may need a plug-in for WebP. Converting once avoids the problem and gives you a file that works with layers and masks.
• Marketplace and CMS uploads. A few forms accept only JPG and PNG. Choose PNG over JPG when the graphic has transparency you must keep.
• Design handoffs. A printer or a collaborator who asks for PNG gets a file that opens straight away.

Name clashes are not a worry. The converted file keeps its base name and only the ending changes to .png, so logo.webp comes back as logo.png.
