WEBP to PNG
Convert WEBP images to PNG format.
Turn any WEBP image into a standard PNG file. Drop your file, and the browser decodes and re-encodes it instantly using the Canvas API. PNG is supported everywhere, including older software and design tools that do not read WEBP, so this is the fastest fix when a site or app rejects your WEBP file.

- Runs entirely in your browser

How to use WEBP to PNG
Two steps, and nothing to install.
Drop your WEBP file
Drop the .webp file onto the tool, or click to browse and select it. It is decoded in the browser and never uploaded.
Download your PNG
The tool re-encodes the image as a lossless PNG, transparency intact, and hands you the file to download.

How this works in your browser
Modern browsers decode WEBP natively, which is what makes this conversion possible without shipping a decoder library. The image is drawn onto an HTML5 canvas using the browser’s own WEBP support, then exported through its PNG encoder. Because both formats carry an alpha channel, the canvas preserves per-pixel transparency across the conversion rather than flattening it, which is the main practical reason to choose PNG over JPG as the target here. The whole round trip happens in your tab, so the file never touches a server.
WEBP to PNG vs. upload-based online tools
| Feature | WEBP to PNG (in-browser) | Upload-based online tools |
|---|---|---|
| File upload required | No - never leaves your device | Yes - file is sent to a server |
| Processing queue | None - starts instantly | Often, especially at peak times |
| Watermark on output | Never | Common on free plans |
| Usage limits | None - free, unlimited use | Often capped per day or file size |
| Works offline once loaded | Yes, for most tools | No - requires a live connection |
| Account required | No | Often, for anything beyond a trial |
Who uses WEBP to PNG
Opening a downloaded image
Convert a WEBP saved from a website into a PNG your desktop photo viewer or editor will actually open.
Keeping a transparent background
Move a WEBP logo or cut-out into PNG without flattening its transparency onto a solid colour.
Feeding older design software
Get web images into applications and print workflows that predate WEBP support entirely.
Frequently asked questions
What it can and cannot do, and what happens to your files.
Does converting WEBP to PNG lose quality?
No. PNG is lossless, so converting from WEBP to PNG does not introduce any additional compression artifacts.
Will transparency be preserved?
Yes. If your WEBP file has an alpha channel, the transparency carries over to the PNG output exactly.
Is there a file size limit?
No hard limit. Very large images may take a moment longer since everything processes on your device.
Why do I even need to convert WEBP?
Browsers read WEBP fine, but plenty of desktop software does not. Older Photoshop versions, many print workflows, some CMS uploaders and a lot of built-in OS photo viewers still reject it, which is usually why a WEBP saved from the web will not open.
Will the PNG be larger than the WEBP?
Usually yes, often substantially. WEBP was designed to beat PNG on file size at equivalent quality, so undoing that compression trades bytes for compatibility.
Does this work with animated WEBP?
Only the first frame is converted, since PNG is a still format. An animated WEBP produces a single static PNG rather than an animation.
