WebP to PNG
Turn WebP images into lossless PNGs, transparency kept, for editors and apps that don't read WebP. Nothing is uploaded.
Choose the WebP images to convert
WebP files, as many as you like. Other image formats your browser can open work too.
Convert to
PNG is lossless: every pixel is kept, transparency included. Files are usually larger.
Transparency is kept.
- 1. Choose your WebP images
- 2. They are converted on your device
- 3. Download the PNGs
To convert WebP to PNG, choose your WebP files above: the tool decodes each one in your browser and saves it as a lossless PNG, with transparency intact. You can convert several files at once and download them individually or as a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded.
Why convert WebP to PNG
WebP is great for delivering images on the web and less great once you want to work with them. PNG is the format most tools treat as a safe, lossless working copy:
- Editing. Some design and office apps, especially older ones, don't open WebP, or open it without transparency. PNG is understood everywhere.
- Transparency that must survive. Logos, stickers, product cut-outs and icons need a transparent background. PNG keeps it; JPG doesn't.
- Repeated saves. Every time you save a lossy file, a little detail goes. A PNG can be opened, edited and saved again as often as you like without that loss.
- Pixel-exact graphics. Screenshots, diagrams and pixel art look crisp in PNG because nothing is approximated.
How to use the converter
- Choose one or more WebP files, or drop them in on a computer. Any image your browser can open is accepted.
- The output is preset to PNG. There is no quality slider: PNG is lossless.
- Download each PNG, or all of them as a ZIP.
If you change your mind, switch the output to JPG or WebP above the results.
What changes when WebP becomes PNG
Nothing more is lost. The PNG contains exactly the pixels the browser decoded from the WebP.
Nothing is recovered either. Most WebP images on the web are lossy. If the WebP is slightly soft or shows artifacts, the PNG shows the same. Converting can't add detail back.
File size grows. Lossless storage is heavier. A flat graphic may grow a little; a photo saved as WebP can become five to ten times bigger as PNG. If the PNG is too heavy for where it's going, consider WebP to JPG for photos, or shrink the pixel dimensions with the image resizer.
Transparency is kept, including semi-transparent edges.
Animation is not. An animated WebP becomes a PNG of its first frame.
Colors are saved in sRGB, the standard for screens.
Metadata is dropped. WebP files can carry EXIF and XMP, including camera details and sometimes GPS coordinates. The image is redrawn before saving, so none of it is copied into the PNG. To see what a file contained before converting, open it in the photo metadata viewer, or read how to check photo metadata.
WebP to PNG or WebP to JPG?
| You need | Convert to |
|---|---|
| Transparent background | PNG |
| To edit and save repeatedly | PNG |
| Screenshots, text, diagrams | PNG |
| A photo to open or upload anywhere | JPG |
| The smallest file | Stay in WebP |
To go back the other way and make a PNG lighter, use PNG to WebP.
Images you saved for a reason
Many saved WebPs aren't decoration: a scanned page someone sent through a web app, a receipt, a ticket, a photo of a document from an online account. Converted and saved, they sit in your camera roll among everything else, synced to the cloud and visible to anyone scrolling past.
sigil. keeps those files in a separate vault on your phone. Everything you import is encrypted with a 256-bit key that only your sign unlocks, with metadata stripped on import and on export, and nothing goes through an account or a server. It's useful for ID documents and medical photos alike.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting WebP to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG stores exactly what the WebP contained, without losing anything more, but it can't bring back detail that a lossy WebP already discarded.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. PNG supports full transparency, so cut-outs, logos and soft shadows stay exactly as they are in the WebP.
Why is the PNG so much bigger?
PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel instead of approximating. A photo-like WebP can grow five or ten times as a PNG. That's expected.
WebP or JPG: which should I convert to?
Choose PNG if you need transparency or will edit the image further. Choose JPG for photos you just need to open or upload anywhere; it is much smaller.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The WebP is decoded and the PNG written by your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
