WebP to PNG converter

TL;DR: drop your WebP files and get PNG copies with transparency intact. Convert up to 50 files at once and download them one by one or as a ZIP. Everything runs in your browser.

Conversion runs in your browser. Images are not uploaded to any server.

    WebP is the default image format of many websites, but plenty of programs still prefer PNG: older versions of image editors, presentation tools, some CMS uploads and printing services. Converting WebP to PNG gives you a file that opens everywhere and keeps transparent backgrounds.

    How to use the converter

    1. Add images. Drag up to 50 files onto the box, choose them with the button or paste a copied image with Ctrl+V.
    2. Check the output format. It is already set for this page; you can switch between PNG, JPG and WebP at any time.
    3. Adjust the settings. For JPG and WebP set the quality (85 is a good default). For JPG pick the colour that fills transparent areas.
    4. Download. Save files one by one or all together as a ZIP. Each row shows the size before and after.

    WebP or PNG: what changes after conversion

    FormatCompressionTransparencyBest for
    WebPLossy or losslessYesPhotos and graphics on websites
    PNGLosslessYesScreenshots, logos, images you will edit again
    JPGLossyNoPhotos for email, documents, older software
    SVGVector (text)YesIcons and logos at any size

    PNG is lossless, so the converter keeps every pixel of the decoded WebP. If the source WebP was lossy, PNG will not bring back detail lost when the WebP was made, but it will not lose anything more either. Expect the PNG to be larger than the WebP, often two to five times: that is the price of lossless storage.

    At YuSMP Group we build websites and keep them fast, and images and PDFs are the most common reason pages load slowly. If you need to move a whole site to lighter formats rather than a few files, see our web development service or start with the page speed test.

    FAQ

    How do I convert WebP to PNG?

    Drag WebP files onto the box above or choose them with the button. PNG is already selected, so conversion starts right away. Download each PNG or all of them as a ZIP.

    Is transparency kept when converting WebP to PNG?

    Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent areas of the WebP stay exactly as they were.

    Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP?

    WebP compresses images much more efficiently, and PNG stores every pixel without loss. A PNG is often two to five times larger than the WebP it came from. That is normal and does not mean quality was lost.

    Does converting WebP to PNG improve quality?

    No. PNG keeps the image exactly as decoded from the WebP, without adding new compression artefacts, but it cannot restore detail that a lossy WebP already discarded.

    Can I convert animated WebP to PNG?

    The converter saves the first frame of an animated WebP as a still PNG. To keep the animation, you would need an animated format such as APNG or GIF.

    Are my files uploaded?

    No. The conversion runs in your browser in a background Web Worker. The files never leave your device and are not stored anywhere.

    How many WebP files can I convert at once?

    Up to 50 files per batch, each up to 100 MB. Download them all together as a ZIP archive that opens on Windows and macOS.
