Convert WebP to PNG
WebP pictures are common on websites, but some editors, print services and older programs don't accept them. PNG is understood almost everywhere and keeps transparency, so it is the safest format to save a WebP as.
- Upload one or more
.webpfiles, or a ZIP of a folder. - Keep “PNG” selected.
- Click Convert.
What is kept
- Transparency: see-through areas of a WebP stay see-through in the PNG, including soft, half-transparent edges.
- Every pixel: PNG is lossless, so the PNG looks exactly like the WebP as decoded. It can't bring back detail a lossy WebP already threw away, though.
- Animation: an animated WebP becomes an animated PNG (APNG) with the same frame timing and loop count, which current browsers play. If you need a still picture, tick “Animations: keep only the first frame” under More options.
- Colour profile kept; camera info removed unless you keep it.
Why is the PNG bigger?
Most WebP files on the web are lossy, compressed much like a JPG. PNG stores the decoded pixels without loss, so the file is usually several times larger. That is normal. If the picture is a photo and size matters, JPG is the better target; for logos, screenshots and graphics with transparency, PNG is.
Good to know
- Batches keep their folder structure when you upload a ZIP.
- Pictures stored sideways with a rotation flag are turned upright.
- To shrink large pictures at the same time, set “Also shrink to” under More options.
