When you'd do this
A WebP won't open in the editor, slide deck or design tool you're using, or you want a lossless copy to edit — a logo, an icon, a screenshot or an illustration saved from the web.
What to expect
The PNG has the WebP's exact width, height and transparency, with nothing more lost. From a lossy WebP it's usually several times bigger, because PNG stores those pixels without leaving anything out; from a lossless WebP the difference is smaller. PNG is what a WebP is set to by default.
Recommended settings
There's nothing to tune: PNG is lossless, so it has no Quality. Use Resize only if you want fewer pixels — a maximum width and height, or a percentage; it never enlarges.
Where it opens
Every image editor and design tool, office suites, browsers, phones and computers, and nearly every upload form.
Good to know
- A PNG can't bring back what a lossy WebP's compression left out; it keeps the image exactly as it is now.
- An animated WebP becomes a still PNG of its first frame — choose GIF to keep it moving.
- For photos the PNG can be large; choose JPG if you only need to share them.
How to do it
- Choose your WebP files, or drop or paste them on the page — as many as you like.
- Each is set to PNG. Change one on its own row if you like, and set Resize in Settings.
- Convert all, then download each PNG, or all of them in one .zip.
Questions
- Does WebP to PNG keep transparency?
- Yes. PNG has full transparency, so see-through areas and soft edges look just as they did.
- Is converting WebP to PNG lossless?
- Yes: the PNG adds no loss of its own. If the WebP itself was lossy, what it already left out stays out.
- Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?
- PNG compresses without throwing anything away, while a lossy WebP leaves out detail to save space. Same picture, different trade-off.
- Can I convert an animated WebP to PNG?
- Only its first frame: the PNG made here is a still image. Convert to GIF to keep the animation.
