WebP to PNG Converter

Convert WebP images to PNG online for free. Batch conversion in your browser, no upload limits and no credits used.

This is the conversion to choose when the WebP has a transparent background you need to keep. PNG carries the alpha channel across intact, and stops any further quality loss — though it cannot undo loss that already happened.

Transparency comes across intact

Both formats support an alpha channel, including partial transparency such as soft shadows and anti-aliased edges, so a cut-out logo or product shot converts cleanly and still sits on any background colour. This is the main reason to pick PNG over JPG as the destination.

Lossless from here, not retroactively

If the source was a lossy WebP — most WebP files on the web are — the detail it discarded is not in the file. PNG will store the current pixels perfectly, artifacts and all, which means no further degradation no matter how many times you re-save. It does not mean the image gets better.

  • Converting to PNG is the right move before a round of editing, because repeated saves cost you nothing.
  • It is the wrong move if you just want a smaller file — expect the PNG to be several times larger.
  • A lossless WebP converts to PNG with no loss at all in either direction.

Expect a much bigger file

WebP was designed to be small; PNG was designed to be exact. Converting a photographic WebP to PNG commonly multiplies the file size several times over, because a lossless format has to record every compression artifact faithfully. If you need both transparency and a small file, the answer is to keep the WebP.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting WebP to PNG keep the transparent background?
Yes. Both formats have an alpha channel, and partial transparency such as soft shadows and anti-aliased edges is preserved.
Does converting to PNG improve the image?
No. It stops further loss from this point on, but any detail the lossy WebP already discarded is not in the file and cannot be recovered.
Why is the PNG so much larger than the WebP?
WebP is optimised for small delivery files; PNG stores every pixel exactly and has to record compression artifacts faithfully too. Several times larger is normal.
Should I convert to PNG or JPG?
PNG if the image has transparency you need, or if you are about to edit it repeatedly. JPG if it is a photograph with no transparency and file size matters.
