WebP to PNG Converter

Turn WebP images into PNG files without sending them to a conversion server. The decoder and PNG encoder load only after you select a file, then run in background browser workers.

PNG is the right target for interface graphics, diagrams, screenshots, and images whose transparent background must survive conversion. Expect PNG files to be larger than visually similar WebP files in many cases.

Why choose PNG instead of JPG

PNG uses lossless compression and supports a full alpha channel. It avoids the block and ringing artifacts associated with lossy photo formats, which makes it well suited to sharp edges, text, logos, and screenshots.

A PNG conversion preserves decoded pixels, but it cannot restore detail already discarded when a WebP source was created with lossy compression.

  • Choose PNG for transparency, line art, UI captures, and repeated editing.
  • Choose JPG for opaque photographs when broad compatibility and a smaller output matter more.
  • Keep WebP for websites when the browser and publishing workflow already support it.

File size and dimensions

Lossless PNG often uses more storage than WebP. That is expected, not a failed conversion. Optional width and height controls can reduce dimensions before encoding when the original is larger than needed.

Metadata is not copied into the new PNG. The converter keeps transparency and the visible pixel content produced by the WebP decoder.

Practical examples

Situation
A WebP logo needs to be placed over several background colors.
Setting
PNG output with width and height left on Auto.
Expected result
The alpha channel remains available for compositing.
Situation
A browser screenshot must be annotated repeatedly.
Setting
PNG output, optionally resized to the final working dimensions.
Expected result
Crisp edges in a lossless editing format.

Clear answers

Frequently asked questions

Will WebP to PNG preserve transparency?

Yes. PNG supports alpha transparency, and the converter keeps the decoded alpha channel when it creates the PNG.

Why is the PNG larger than the WebP?

PNG is lossless and WebP may use more space-efficient lossy or lossless compression. A larger PNG is common, especially for photographs.

Is the conversion performed online?

The page is delivered over the web, but image conversion happens locally in your browser. Your selected image bytes are not uploaded.

Can I convert animated WebP to animated PNG?

Not currently. This tool converts the decoded still image frame. It is not an animation transcoder.

Can I resize while converting?

Yes. Open Advanced settings and enter a width, height, or both. Keep aspect ratio is enabled by default.
