How to convert WebP to PNG
- 1.
Add WebP files
Drop .webp files onto the box above, choose them from your device or paste an image (Ctrl+V).
- 2.
Wait a moment
Conversion starts automatically - PNG is lossless, so there is no quality to set.
- 3.
Download PNG
Download the files one by one or all together as a ZIP.
When to choose PNG over JPG
- Transparency - logos, icons, cut-out products. PNG keeps the alpha channel, JPG does not.
- Further editing - PNG adds no loss on repeated saves, so it makes a good working file.
- Graphics with text and sharp edges - screenshots, diagrams and infographics look cleaner in PNG than in JPG.
For an ordinary photo you want to send or print, WebP to JPG gives a much smaller file.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?
PNG stores the image losslessly (DEFLATE compression), so every pixel is kept exactly. A photo that weighs 200 KB as WebP can take 1.5-3 MB as PNG. Converting does not improve an image that was previously compressed with loss - but it saves it without any further loss.
Example: a 1200×800 px graphic with a transparent background weighs about 60 KB as WebP and usually 300-900 KB as PNG, depending on the number of colours and gradients.
Typical situations and tips
- A WebP sticker or emoji from a messenger - saving to PNG keeps the transparent background, so you can drop it into a slide or document without a white frame.
- A graphic from an online shop you want to edit - PNG is a good working file: repeated saves in an editor will not degrade it.
- Animated WebP - PNG saves only the first frame; animation cannot be carried into a regular PNG.
- File too big to send - if you do not need transparency, choose WebP to JPG; the file will be several times smaller.
- Icon or favicon - turn the PNG into a full icon set with the favicon generator.
The dimensions stay the same - the converter only changes the file format, and the file keeps its name with a .png extension. That is why PNG is no way to “fix” a blurry thumbnail: a 300×300 px image stays 300×300 px, just stored losslessly and heavier.
Privacy
Conversion runs entirely in your browser (Canvas API). Files are never sent to a server, so you can safely convert private photos, scans and company graphics. Saving to a new format also strips EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates.
