WEBP to PNG Converter
Convert WebP files (released 2010 (Google), Lossless + Lossy (your pick)) to PNG (Lossless, typically Larger — 2–10× JPEG for photos). Runs in your browser — no upload, no signup.

WebP is excellent for the web, but plenty of tools — older design software, some CMS thumbnailers, certain email and print workflows — still don't accept it. Converting WebP to PNG gives you a universally supported, lossless file that opens anywhere and keeps transparency intact. In our sample set, PNG files ran about 608% larger than the WEBP source. Because PNG is lossless, the output is typically larger than the WebP source, which is the expected trade for maximum compatibility. Drop your WebP files below; they convert in your browser with no upload.

Heads up before converting WEBP → PNG
What changes — and what your conversion will cost — based on how WebP and PNG differ.
Animation collapses to a single frame
WebP can hold multiple frames in one file; PNG cannot. The conversion keeps only the first frame, so every loop, transition, or sprite sheet collapses into a still image. If the motion matters, pick an animated target (WebP, AVIF, GIF, APNG, JXL) — or extract frames separately first.
Best practices for WEBP → PNG
Concrete settings to pick before you convert WebP to PNG.
- Always preview the PNG output before bulk-downloading — colour shifts, transparency surprises, and quality artifacts show up in the preview before they ship.
- Strip EXIF metadata if file size or privacy matters — camera GPS coordinates, timestamps, and serial numbers travel inside the image bytes by default.
- PNG is lossless, so quality settings don't apply — but you can still shave bytes by quantising the palette (pngquant for PNG, gif2webp for GIF) when the image has a limited colour count.
- Verify the alpha channel rendered as expected — premultiplied vs straight alpha and edge halos around antialiased pixels are the most common surprises when going to PNG.
