How to convert WebP to PNG
- Drop your WebP file into the box above, or click it to browse your device. You can add several files at once.
- Leave the output format on PNG, or switch it if you changed your mind. There is no quality dial because the conversion is lossless.
- Download the new PNG file. Each result shows the original size, the new size and the percentage saved.
WebP and PNG are not interchangeable - they were designed to solve different problems. WebP was built by Google for the web. At matching visual quality it usually produces files 25-34% smaller than JPEG, and it still supports transparency. PNG is a lossless format: it stores every pixel exactly as it was captured, and it is the most reliable web format for transparency. Converting from WebP to PNG makes sense when you need lossless quality or a transparent background.
Both WebP and PNG support transparency, so any transparent area in your source file survives the conversion intact. PNG is lossless, so the converted image keeps every pixel exactly - expect the file to be larger than a WebP saved at heavy compression.
Everything here runs locally. Your WebP file is decoded by your own browser and re-encoded by it too - nothing is ever uploaded to a server, which is what makes the tool both fast and private.
WebP vs PNG at a glance
| WebP | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| Transparency | Supported | Supported |
| Best for | any image that appears on a website, where a smaller file means a faster page and a better Core Web Vitals score | logos, icons, screenshots, product cut-outs and any graphic with sharp edges or a transparent background |
| Main drawback | very old software and a few desktop editors still cannot open it | the price of that fidelity is file size - PNG files are often 3 to 10 times bigger than the JPEG equivalent |
