WebP to PNG Converter
Convert WebP images to PNG for apps and devices that cannot open WebP. Transparency is preserved, output is lossless, and your files stay in your browser.
The conversion happens in your browser — your files stay on your device.
Why convert WebP to PNG
WebP is now the default export of many websites, content tools and screenshot utilities,
which means you increasingly end up with a .webp file you did not ask for.
The trouble starts when you try to use it somewhere that has not caught up: a print shop's
upload form, an older image editor, a marketplace listing tool, a slide deck on an outdated
machine, or a colleague on software that simply shows an error. PNG is the safe common
denominator — it has been universally supported for decades, so converting a stubborn WebP
to PNG almost always makes it usable.
Because PNG is lossless, this conversion is the right choice when fidelity matters more than file size: artwork, UI mockups, diagrams, product images with transparent edges and anything you may edit further. The PNG carries across every pixel of the WebP exactly, with no extra compression applied on top.
Transparency is preserved
One reason to choose PNG over JPG for this conversion is the alpha channel. WebP can store transparent backgrounds, and so can PNG, so a transparent WebP logo or icon converts to a transparent PNG with no white rectangle added behind it. If you only need the image on a solid background and want a smaller file, you could convert to JPG instead — but for anything that needs to sit cleanly on a coloured page, PNG keeps the transparency that JPG would destroy.
How to convert WebP to PNG
- Click the box above and choose one or more WebP files, or drag them in.
- The output format is set to PNG, so transparency and detail are kept.
- Press Convert to PNG and wait briefly.
- Check the file sizes — expect the PNG to be larger than the WebP.
- Click Download to save each PNG.
A note on file size
Do not be surprised if a 60 KB WebP becomes a 300 KB PNG. WebP earns its small size by discarding redundant data; PNG keeps everything losslessly. That extra weight is the price of compatibility. If the larger file is a problem — for an email or a web page — convert to JPG, or run the PNG through the image compressor afterwards to bring it back down to a sensible size.

Frequently asked questions
Why convert WebP to PNG?
WebP is great for the web but is still rejected by some desktop software, editors, marketplaces and older devices. PNG is supported almost everywhere, so converting to PNG is the reliable way to open or share an image that arrived as WebP.
Does WebP to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG fully supports an alpha channel, so a WebP with a transparent background converts to a PNG that keeps that transparency intact — no white box is added behind your image.
Will the PNG be larger than the WebP?
Usually, yes. PNG is lossless and WebP is highly compressed, so the PNG is often several times bigger. That is the cost of universal compatibility. If size matters more than support, keep the WebP or convert to JPG instead.
Does converting WebP to PNG lose quality?
No further quality is lost in the conversion itself, because PNG is lossless. The PNG faithfully stores whatever the WebP already contained; it cannot restore detail the original WebP compression had already discarded.
Are my WebP files uploaded to convert them?
No. Everything happens in your browser with the Canvas API. The WebP is decoded and re-saved as PNG on your own device, so your images are never sent to a server.
Can I convert animated WebP files?
Only the first frame is converted. PNG is a still-image format, so animated WebP files lose their animation. For a moving image you would need an animated format such as GIF or APNG, which this tool does not produce.
Every WebP-to-PNG conversion on Image Tools stays on your device, with no upload and offline support after the first visit. Unsure which format to keep? See our guide to PNG, JPG and WebP.
