Convert WebP to PNG

How do I convert WebP to PNG?

1. Choose or drop the WebP file.
2. Select PNG as the output — it is lossless, so there is nothing to adjust.
3. Press Convert, then download the PNG.

When should you convert WebP to PNG?

Websites serve images as WebP because it loads quickly, so pictures you save from a browser often arrive as .webp files. Plenty of software still refuses them. Converting to PNG gives you a universally supported file without losing transparency or adding any new compression.

• You saved an image from a website and your older image editor will not open the .webp file.
• A forum, print service or upload form rejects WebP but accepts PNG.
• You need a transparent graphic for a slide deck in an older version of Microsoft Office.

What do you keep and what do you lose?

You keep

• Transparent areas, which PNG supports fully.
• Every pixel exactly as the WebP decodes.

You lose

• The compact size — the PNG will be noticeably larger.
• Animation: an animated WebP becomes a still image of its first frame.
• Embedded metadata.

In our test (Chromium 156.0.8078.4, 2026-10-23), converting a transparent logo (a quality-92 WebP copy of the original PNG) from WebP to PNG changed its size: 30 KB → 116 KB (3.9× larger).

How much bigger will the PNG be?

Expect several times the size, and how many depends on the content. Starting from quality-92 WebP copies, our landscape photo grew 6.5 times as a PNG, the website screenshot 3.3 times and the transparent logo 3.9 times. Photos grow most because almost every pixel differs slightly from its neighbours, which lossless compression cannot shorten; flat graphics repeat themselves and grow less. That is the price of a file any program can open.

If the goal is only compatibility, for example an app or upload form that refuses WebP, and the image has no transparency, a JPG at quality 95 is usually the lighter fix. Our photo came to 933 KB as a JPG against 4.8 MB as a PNG. The screenshot followed the same pattern on a smaller scale, 113 KB against 190 KB, though PNG keeps its text sharper. Choose PNG when you need the transparent background, plan to keep editing the image, or want a file that will never lose more detail. For a one-off upload to a form, a printer or a friend, the JPG will do.
