Convert WebP to PNG
Output is typically roughly 6.7× larger.
- Files stay on your device
- No upload, no waiting
- No sign-up, no watermark
How it works
Add your WebP file
Drag a WebP file onto the drop zone, or click to browse. You can select several at once.
Choose your settings
PNG is lossless, so there is nothing to configure — the output matches the input pixel for pixel.
Download the PNG
Conversion runs on your device as soon as each file is added — no upload, no queue. Download each result when it is ready.

Will converting WebP to PNG make the file smaller?
Usually, yes. A 12-megapixel photo is around 2.1 MB as WebP and around 14 MB as PNG — roughly 6.7× larger. Because PNG is lossless the result depends entirely on the image content — flat colour and text compress far better than photographic detail.
Does converting WebP to PNG lose quality?
No. PNG is lossless, so every pixel decoded from your WebP file is stored exactly. Both formats are lossless, so the conversion is pixel-for-pixel identical.
Is transparency preserved when converting WebP to PNG?
Yes. Both WebP and PNG support an alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels carry across unchanged — a logo with a cut-out background stays cut out, and soft drop shadows keep their gradient rather than picking up a white halo. Because PNG is lossless, the alpha channel is stored exactly as it was.
What happens to an animated WebP?
PNG holds a single frame, so an animated WebP is reduced to its first frame. To keep the motion, convert to WebP instead — animated WebP plays everywhere modern and is typically a fraction of the size of the original animation.
When should I use PNG instead of a smaller format?
Use PNG when exactness matters more than size: screenshots, logos, diagrams, UI assets, anything with sharp text, and any image you will re-edit repeatedly. Lossless means no artefacts and no cumulative degradation. For photographs on the web, WebP or AVIF will be several times smaller at quality nobody can distinguish.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using your own device's processor. Your WebP file is never transmitted anywhere, which means there is no upload wait, no file size cap, and nothing for us to store or leak. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
About webp to png
Why convert WebP to PNG?
WebP is the pragmatic modern choice for the web: roughly 25–35% smaller than JPEG at comparable quality, with transparency and animation that JPEG lacks, and — since Safari 14 in 2020 — support in every browser that matters. It is the format to reach for when you want smaller pages without worrying about fallbacks.
PNG stores every pixel exactly as it was, with no generation loss no matter how many times you re-save it. That fidelity is why it dominates screenshots, logos and UI assets, and also why it is the wrong choice for photographs — lossless compression simply cannot get a 12-megapixel photo down to a reasonable size.
WebP and PNG side by side
| WebP | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | WebP | Portable Network Graphics |
| Compression | Lossy or lossless | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes — alpha channel | Yes — alpha channel |
| Animation | Yes | No |
| Browser support | All modern browsers — Chrome 32+, Firefox 65+, Safari 14+ (2020), Edge 18+ | Universal — every browser since 1996 |
| Typical 12 MP photo | ~2.1 MB | ~14 MB |
| Usually used for | Web images where page weight matters and modern browsers are the audience | Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and anything needing transparency |
On a typical 12-megapixel phone photo, the PNG output comes out roughly 6.7× larger than the WebP original. Your own results will vary with the image — flat colour, text and line art behave very differently from photographic detail.
What you gain
- Perfectly lossless — no compression artefacts, ever
- Full 8-bit alpha channel for smooth transparency
- Universal support in every browser, OS and editor since the 1990s
- Excellent on flat colour, sharp edges and text
What to watch out for
- Very large files for photographic content
- No animation (APNG is a separate, less-supported extension)
- Slower to decode than JPEG at the same pixel count
- Animation is lost. PNG holds a single frame, so only the first frame of an animated WebP survives. Convert to WebP to keep the motion.
How the conversion works here
Your file is decoded and re-encoded entirely inside your browser on a background thread, so the page stays responsive even with a large batch. Nothing is uploaded, which means there is no size limit imposed by us, no queue, no watermark, and no copy of your image sitting on someone else’s server afterwards.
Because it runs locally, the tool keeps working if you lose your connection after the page has loaded — useful on patchy mobile data, and the reason this approach suits anything sensitive.
