Will the PNG preserve transparency from a transparent WebP?

Yes. WebP supports full alpha channel transparency, and PNG also supports full alpha transparency. When converting WebP to PNG, all transparent and semi-transparent pixels are preserved exactly. This is the main advantage of PNG over JPG for this conversion.

Is the PNG output lossless even if the WebP was lossy?

PNG encoding is always lossless, but the source data from a lossy WebP already has some artefacts baked in. Converting a lossy WebP to PNG doesn't recover the original quality — it just freezes the current (already-compressed) quality at lossless. If your WebP was lossless (as from design software), the PNG will be a perfect copy.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?

WebP achieves remarkable compression (both lossy and lossless modes outperform PNG). A 500 KB lossless WebP might produce a 2 MB PNG because PNG's lossless algorithm is less efficient. If file size is a concern, keep the WebP for web delivery and use PNG only for editing workflows.

Which apps support WebP natively so I don't need to convert?

Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari 14+, Edge), macOS 11+, Windows 11, Android, and iOS 14+ all support WebP. Google Workspace apps and modern versions of Photoshop (2021+) also support it. Legacy apps, older phones, and many print-production tools do not.

How do I convert WebP files I downloaded from social media?

Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram often serve images as WebP for performance. To convert them: right-click and save the image as a file (it may save with a .webp extension), then drop it here. Our magic-byte detection will correctly identify the format regardless of extension.

Convert WebP to PNG — Preserve Transparency

PNG is the go-to choice when you need to preserve transparency from a WebP image, or when you need a lossless copy for editing. This converter decodes your WebP files — both lossy and lossless variants — and outputs full-color RGBA PNG images with all transparency intact. No upload, no account, runs privately in your browser.

How to use this tool

Upload your WebP images
Drop WebP files onto the converter or click to browse. Paste from clipboard also works. You can convert multiple files at once.
No quality settings required
The PNG output is lossless — no settings to tune. Every pixel from the decoded WebP is preserved exactly in the PNG.
Convert
Click Convert. Each WebP is decoded using Google's WebP codec via WebAssembly, then re-encoded as a standard 32-bit RGBA PNG.
Download your PNGs
Download individually or as a ZIP. All processing happens in your browser tab — files are never uploaded anywhere.
