WebP to PNG Converter

What is a WebP to PNG converter?

A WebP to PNG converter changes WebP images into PNG files. WebP is a modern image format created by Google that makes small files for websites. Many websites now serve their pictures as WebP, so when you save one you often end up with a file that some programs, apps and forms cannot open. PNG is supported almost everywhere, so converting to PNG solves the problem.

Our converter runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to a server. You can convert up to 30 images at once, and transparency is kept. It is free, adds no watermark and needs no signup.

Features of this free WebP to PNG converter

• Batch conversion: Add up to 30 WebP images and convert them all in one go.
• Transparency kept: Transparent areas of your WebP stay transparent in the PNG.
• Lossless output: PNG does not remove detail, so the converted image looks the same as the WebP.
• Before and after sizes: See the size of each file before and after the conversion.
• Single download or ZIP: Save one file, or all converted images together in a ZIP.
• Private and free: No signup, no watermark and no upload.

WebP vs PNG: the main differences

• File size: WebP files are usually much smaller than PNG files, which is why websites like them.
• Compatibility: PNG opens in almost every program and device. WebP is supported by modern browsers but not by every editor, office program or older device.
• Transparency: Both formats support transparent backgrounds.
• Quality: PNG is always lossless. WebP can be lossless or lossy.
• Animation: WebP can contain an animation. A PNG made by this tool is a still image.

Why convert WebP to PNG?

• Opening in editors: Older versions of photo editors and design programs may not open WebP files.
• Upload forms: Many forms, marketplaces and content systems accept PNG or JPG but reject WebP.
• Documents and presentations: Office programs sometimes cannot insert WebP pictures, but they insert PNG without trouble.
• Sharing: A PNG opens for everyone, including people with older phones and computers.
• Editing without loss: PNG can be saved again and again without losing quality.
• Printing: Print shops and printers usually prefer common formats such as PNG and JPG.

Transparency and animated WebP

If your WebP image has a transparent background, the PNG keeps it. This is useful for logos, icons and cut-out pictures.

Some WebP files are animated. A PNG is a still image, so for an animated WebP only the first frame is converted. If you need the whole animation, use a tool that converts WebP to GIF or video instead.

Why is my PNG bigger than the WebP?

This is normal. WebP is designed to make small files, and it often uses lossy compression for photographs. PNG stores every pixel without losing detail, so a PNG made from a WebP photo is usually larger. The picture does not get sharper, the file just becomes bigger. If size matters more than perfect detail, convert the image to JPG instead, or compress the PNG with the Image Compressor.

Tips for better results

• Use PNG for graphics and transparency: It is the best choice for logos, icons and screenshots.
• Use JPG for photos when size matters: A JPG is much smaller than a PNG for a photograph, with very little visible difference.
• Keep the original WebP: It is smaller, so keep it for your website and use the PNG where compatibility matters.
• Check the result: Open the converted file in your program before you delete the original.
• Resize if you need a smaller file: A PNG with fewer pixels is smaller. Use the Image Resizer for this.

Limits of this converter

You can add up to 30 images at a time, each up to 25 MB. Animated WebP files are converted to a single still image. Your browser must be able to open the WebP file, which all modern browsers can.
