How to convert WebP to PNG
- 1 Drop your WebP images on the box, or click browse to choose them. You can add many at once.
- 2 Press Convert. One image downloads directly; several come in a ZIP file.
- 3 Check the new size and file size shown under each image.
WebP, PNG or JPG?
Choose PNG when you need transparency or a lossless copy to edit, and JPG when you need the smallest file for a photo. For photos without transparency, WebP to JPG gives files several times smaller. To go back to WebP later, use PNG to WebP.
- Check the PNG opens in the program you need before deleting the WebP.
- Animated WebP files become a still image of the first frame.
- Rename nothing by hand: the converter changes the extension for you.
Features
Keeps transparency
Transparent backgrounds stay transparent in the PNG.
No quality loss
PNG is lossless, so nothing is lost in the conversion.
Batch conversion
Convert many WebP files at once and download a ZIP.
When to use it
Editing in older software
Some older versions of Photoshop, Word and PowerPoint cannot open WebP. Convert to PNG first. For a smaller file instead, use WebP to JPG.
Logos and icons
Saved a logo from a website as WebP? PNG keeps the transparent background for use on slides and documents.

Frequently asked questions
Why are my PNG files bigger than the WebP?
WebP uses more efficient compression. PNG stores every pixel without loss, so the same picture usually takes more space. If size matters more than transparency, convert to JPG instead.
Does PNG keep the transparent background?
Yes. Any transparent or semi-transparent areas in the WebP are kept exactly in the PNG.
Will an animated WebP stay animated?
No. The PNG will show the first frame only, because standard PNG does not support animation.
How do I save a WebP image from a website as PNG?
Save the image to your device, then drop it here and convert. Make sure you have the right to use the image.
Is there any quality loss?
No extra loss is added. The PNG is an exact copy of the decoded WebP. If the WebP itself was compressed with loss, those details cannot be brought back.
Can I convert many files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like; they are converted one by one and downloaded together in a ZIP file.
What is the difference between WebP and PNG?
WebP is a modern web format with smaller files and optional lossy compression. PNG is an older lossless format supported by almost every program.
Why do websites use WebP?
WebP files are smaller than JPG and PNG at similar quality, so pages load faster and use less data. That is why many sites now serve images in WebP even when you save them.
Can I open WebP files without converting?
Modern browsers, Windows Photos, macOS Preview and most phones can open WebP. Converting helps when a program or website you use still refuses the format.
Are my WebP files uploaded to a server?
No. The WebP is decoded and saved as PNG inside your browser, so even private screenshots and designs never leave your computer or phone.
How this tool works. These image tools run entirely in your browser using the Canvas API built into every modern browser, the open-source libheif decoder for iPhone HEIC photos and Tesseract, a widely used open-source OCR engine, for reading text. Each tool is tested with real phone photos, screenshots and scans before it goes live, and nothing you open is sent to a server.
