Convert WEBP to PNG
Got a WEBP image and need a PNG? Convert it right in your browser. WEBP is the format Google created for the web, but many programs, editors and sites still don't accept it — while PNG opens anywhere and is lossless. The conversion happens on your device, without sending anything to servers.

How to convert WEBP to PNG in 3 steps

WEBP with transparency to PNG
WEBP is great for making pages lighter, but it brought a practical problem: you download an image from the internet and it comes as WEBP, then the editor, app or site you want to send it to doesn't recognize the format. PNG fixes that instantly — it's universal and opens in any program or device.
Beyond compatibility, PNG is lossless and preserves transparency. That's why it's the right choice when you'll edit the image, use it in a document or insert it somewhere that only accepts PNG.
Transparency preserved
WEBP can have transparent areas, and so can PNG. In this conversion, transparency is kept: if your WEBP image has a transparent background, the resulting PNG keeps that background.
That matters for logos, icons and cutouts — any image where the background needs to stay transparent to sit on top of other colors.
Animation and transparency: what survives
WEBP can be animated. Converting to PNG keeps only the first frame — worth checking beforehand, because files downloaded from the web frequently are animated.
Transparency, on the other hand, is preserved in full: the WEBP’s alpha channel carries over to the PNG unchanged, keeping soft edges on logos and cut-outs.
The weight will go up — and why
WEBP has a lossy mode and a lossless mode. If your file came from the lossy mode (the common one on the web), converting to PNG doesn’t give quality back: it merely stores the already-compressed image losslessly, producing a much larger file.
Choose PNG when you need transparency or a stable original to edit from. The conversion happens in your browser, with the image never reaching a server.
If the destination accepts WEBP, do not convert: you would only gain weight without gaining quality.
Use cases
- Use an image downloaded as WEBP where only PNG is accepted
- Open the image in an editor that doesn't recognize WEBP
- Keep the transparent background of a logo or icon
- Insert the image into a document or presentation
- Standardize images as PNG for a project
Frequently asked questions
Is the WEBP's transparency preserved?
Yes. Transparent areas of the WEBP stay transparent in the PNG.
Does the image lose quality?
There's no new lossy compression: PNG is lossless and faithful to the WEBP content.
Is the PNG larger than the WEBP?
Usually yes, because PNG is lossless. It's the trade-off for universal compatibility and quality.
Why do so many sites use WEBP?
Because WEBP produces lighter files, making pages faster. The catch is that not every program opens it — which is why converting to PNG is useful.
