Supports JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF
This is the conversion to reach for when a .webp has transparency you need to keep. Converting to JPG would fill those areas with white, because JPEG has no alpha channel — PNG carries them through exactly. That makes it the right destination for logos, icons, stickers and UI assets saved from a website, which are precisely the WebP files people most often need to reuse somewhere else.
PNG also earns its place as a working format. It is lossless, so the pixels are frozen exactly as they came out of the WebP and every subsequent save in an editor costs nothing. If the image is heading into a design tool where it will be opened, modified and saved several times, PNG stops each save adding another layer of compression — which is what would happen if you converted to JPEG and worked from that.
What it cannot do is improve the picture. If your source WebP was saved lossily — and most WebP files served by websites are — the softness and artefacts already in it are preserved perfectly by PNG. Lossless means nothing further is lost, not that anything is restored. Expect a considerably larger file containing the same image, which is a fair trade for editability and universal support, and a poor one for publishing.
How to convert WebP to PNG
- 1
Drop the .webp in
Add one file or a set. Your browser decodes WebP natively, so nothing is uploaded and the conversion is immediate.
- 2
Choose PNG as the output
The quality slider disables itself, because PNG is lossless and there is no quality decision to make. Transparency is carried through automatically.
- 3
Download the PNG
It will open in every editor, platform and upload form that handles images, with the transparent background intact.
- 4
Expect a bigger file
PNG stores everything exactly, so the result is typically several times the size of the WebP. That is the format working as designed.
Pro tip: Use PNG for the editing round trip and something else for delivery. Converting WebP to PNG so you can work on an asset is exactly right; publishing that PNG is usually not, because you would be shipping a file several times larger than the WebP you started from for no visual gain. When the editing is finished, convert back to WebP for the web — the round trip costs one extra lossy pass, which is far less than working in JPEG throughout would have cost.
Troubleshooting: If the PNG looks exactly as soft as the WebP did, that is correct — lossless preservation is not restoration, and nothing can recover what the WebP already discarded. If the file is much larger than expected, PNG is storing photographic content losslessly, which it is poor at; that is not an error. If transparency did not survive, the output format was JPEG rather than PNG. And if your editor still will not open the result, the problem is elsewhere, since PNG support is effectively universal.
If you do not need transparency and want a smaller file, Convert WebP to JPG is the better destination. The same conversion for the newer format is Convert AVIF to PNG. Coming from a photograph rather than a web asset, Convert JPG to PNG covers when that is worth doing. Once you have a PNG, Compress PNG to 50KB reduces it losslessly, and the full Convert Image tool handles any other pair.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert WebP to PNG?
Add the .webp file above, choose PNG as the output format, and download. The quality slider switches off because PNG is lossless, and any transparency in the source is preserved automatically.
Does WebP to PNG conversion keep transparency?
Yes. Both formats support an alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds come through exactly. This is the main reason to choose PNG over JPG for this conversion — JPEG has no alpha channel and would fill those areas with white.
Does converting WebP to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG is lossless, which means nothing further is lost — not that anything is recovered. If the WebP was saved lossily, as most web WebP files are, those artefacts are preserved perfectly in the PNG. You get the same image in a larger, editable file.
Why is the PNG so much larger than the WebP?
Because PNG stores every pixel exactly while WebP discards information to save space. For photographic content the difference is often several times over. That is expected behaviour and the reason PNG suits editing rather than publishing.
Are my files uploaded when converting?
No. Decoding and re-encoding both happen inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged, and the tool works with your connection switched off.
