WEBP → PNG
WEBP to PNG converter
Drop a WEBP file and get a PNG back with any transparency preserved. The image is decoded on your own machine, never posted to a service.
Expect a much heavier file: WEBP earns its small size by compressing, while PNG keeps every decoded pixel, so the PNG is often several times larger.
How to convert WEBP to PNG
Load the WEBP
Drop, paste or select a .webp file. The lossy and lossless flavours are decoded the same way, and either may carry an alpha channel.
Check the transparency
If the WEBP had a see-through background, the PNG keeps it exactly; no background colour is applied to a PNG output. The result panel shows what came out.
Save the PNG copy
Save the file and use it in the program that could not open WEBP: an older editor, a design tool, a document pipeline.
Why WEBP exists, and why you would go back
WEBP is Google's replacement for both JPG and PNG: it compresses lossily like a photograph or losslessly like a graphic, carries an alpha channel in either mode, and Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 14 and later all read it. At comparable quality it is typically 25–35% smaller than a JPEG, which is why websites serve it.
Plenty of software still does not read it, and that is where this conversion helps. PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly, alpha included, so nothing is lost in the move — except the size advantage, which reverses. A WEBP photograph can arrive at 90 KB and leave as a 1.8 MB PNG. If you only need a smaller file to share and no transparency, converting to JPG instead keeps the result compact.
WEBP to PNG questions
Does transparency survive the conversion?
Yes. WEBP keeps an alpha channel in both its lossy and lossless modes, and the canvas is re-encoded as a PNG with that channel intact. You would only lose it by choosing JPG output, which has nowhere to store see-through pixels.
Why is the PNG so much heavier than the WEBP?
WEBP at ordinary settings is lossy: it discards detail in order to shrink the file. PNG keeps every decoded pixel behind a lossless filter and deflate, so the same picture weighs several times more. That is the price of a format that every program can read.
Can I shrink the PNG while converting?
A maximum width or height caps the output, and the other side follows the aspect ratio; leave both empty to keep the native pixels. Halving each side cuts the pixel count to roughly a quarter, which is often the only practical way to slim a lossless file.
What are the input limits, and is anything uploaded?
64 MB per file, and each picture is converted on its own. Nothing is transmitted anywhere: the pixels are decoded and re-encoded by APIs built into your browser, so the conversion still runs with the network switched off.
