WEBP to PNG Converter
Turn .webp files saved from the web into PNGs that open in any app. Free, in your browser, with transparency kept.
Your file
Why use this tool
- No file size limit
- Nothing is uploaded
- No signup needed
Save an image from almost any modern website and you get a .webp file. Browsers show it happily, but plenty of desktop software, older phones, document templates and upload forms still refuse it. Converting to PNG gives you a file that opens everywhere and keeps transparency intact.
The conversion runs in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded, there is no size cap and no account, and the PNG you download is clean.
How to convert WEBP to PNG
Pick the .webp image
Drop it on the box above or click to browse. The file is recognized by its contents, so one saved with the wrong extension still works.
Check that PNG is selected
PNG is already chosen — it is lossless and keeps transparency. JPG is there if you want a smaller file and do not need transparency.
Convert and download
Press Convert to PNG and download the result.
Why websites serve WEBP
WEBP is Google's image format, supported by every current browser. It is typically 25–35% smaller than an equivalent JPG or PNG at the same quality, and it does both lossy and lossless compression while keeping an alpha channel. For a site trying to load quickly that is a straightforward win, which is why right-clicking an image now so often produces a .webp file.
Support outside the browser lags well behind. Older versions of Photoshop, many print workflows, some CMS uploaders, Office templates and a long tail of phone apps have never added it. PNG has no such problem: it has been read by everything for thirty years.
What the conversion does
PNG is lossless, so the conversion stores exactly what the WEBP decoded to — nothing further is discarded. If the WEBP was lossy to begin with, the PNG preserves that image faithfully; it cannot restore detail that was thrown away before the file reached you.
Transparency is kept. A WEBP with an alpha channel becomes a PNG with the same transparency, ready to place over any background.
Expect the PNG to be noticeably larger than the WEBP, often two to four times. That is the cost of lossless storage rather than a problem with the conversion. If you want a small file that opens everywhere and do not need transparency, convert to JPG instead. AVIF images saved from the web convert the same way with AVIF to PNG. If the image is a photo and file size matters more than transparency, WebP to JPG gives a smaller file that every app opens.
WEBP compared with PNG
One is made for delivering images over a network, the other for storing them safely.
| WEBP | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy or lossless | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Typical file size | 25–35% smaller | Baseline |
| Browser support | Every current browser | Every browser ever made |
| Desktop and print software | Patchy | Universal |
| Upload forms | Often rejected | Almost always accepted |
When you need a PNG instead of a WEBP
An app won't open the file
Older editors, viewers and phone apps commonly stop dead at a .webp file.
Placing an image in a document
Word, PowerPoint and many templates handle PNG reliably and WEBP unpredictably.
An upload form rejects it
Marketplaces, job boards and portals tend to list JPG and PNG and nothing else.
Print and design work
Print workflows expect a lossless format, not one designed for shipping pixels over a network.
