Convert WebP to PNG
Need a PNG version of a WebP image? This tool converts WebP to PNG directly in your browser without sending the file to any server. Perfect when you need a universally supported format or want to keep transparency in a lossless format.
How to do it
- Upload your WebP image by dragging and dropping or clicking the upload area.
- Select PNG as target format. No quality setting needed — PNG is always lossless.
- Click "Convert" and download your PNG image directly.
All processing happens locally in your browser — your images never leave your computer.
Why convert WebP to PNG?
WebP is a modern image format from Google that offers excellent compression, but it is not supported everywhere. Older image editors, print software and some CMS systems cannot open WebP files. PNG, on the other hand, is universal and has worked in all programs and browsers for over 20 years. PNG preserves every pixel exactly — it is a lossless format. This makes it ideal when you need to further edit the image without losing quality. Transparency (alpha channel) is also fully preserved during conversion. A downside of PNG compared to WebP is file size. PNG files are typically 25-35% larger than equivalent WebP. If you are converting for use on a website, consider whether the WebP original suffices, but if you need maximum compatibility or plan to edit further, PNG is the right choice. The entire conversion happens using the browser's built-in Canvas API. The image is decoded, redrawn on a canvas and exported as PNG. Nothing is sent over the network.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is transparency preserved when converting from WebP to PNG?
Yes, PNG supports full alpha channel just like WebP. Transparent areas are preserved exactly during conversion.
Will the PNG file be larger than the WebP original?
Yes, typically 25-35% larger. PNG uses lossless compression which is not as efficient as WebP. That is the price for maximum compatibility.
Can I convert animated WebP files?
No, the tool extracts the first frame. For animated images you need a specialized tool.
