How to convert WEBP to PNG
WebP is a modern compressed image format well-suited for web delivery but not universally supported by desktop applications, image editors, or older operating systems. When you download a WebP image and try to open it in Photoshop, GIMP older than version 2.10.14, or Windows Photo Viewer, it may fail to open. Converting to PNG gives you a lossless format that every image application can read, while preserving the exact pixel data and any transparency the WebP contained.
This converter decodes the WebP file directly in your browser using WebAssembly and writes the pixel data as a PNG. Your image never leaves your device, there is no file size limit from a server, and no account is needed. Lossless WebP converts to PNG with no quality change; lossy WebP is expanded to PNG at the quality level baked into the WebP encoding.
Upload the WebP file
Drop your .webp file onto the converter. Both lossless and lossy WebP variants are accepted. Animated WebP is decoded to a static PNG of the first frame.
Review the preview
Modern browsers can display WebP natively. Verify the image looks as expected, including checking transparency if the WebP has an alpha channel.
Convert in browser
The WebAssembly decoder reads the WebP bitstream and produces raw pixel data, which is then compressed and saved as a PNG. No internet connection is required after the page loads.
Download the PNG
Save the PNG file. Expect it to be significantly larger than the source WebP, since PNG uses lossless compression while WebP (in lossy mode) is more compact.
Frequently asked questions
Will the PNG be the same quality as the WebP?
For lossless WebP sources: yes, pixel-identical. For lossy WebP: the PNG captures the exact pixels the WebP decoder outputs, which reflects the lossy quality that was applied when the WebP was originally encoded. Converting to PNG does not undo that compression.
Does the PNG preserve transparency from the WebP?
Yes. WebP supports full alpha transparency, and the converter preserves the alpha channel in the PNG output.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded.
Why is the PNG so much larger than the WebP?
WebP (lossy) discards image data to achieve small file sizes. PNG is lossless and stores pixel values exactly, so it cannot match WebP's compression ratio. A 100 KB lossy WebP photo often becomes 800 KB to 2 MB as PNG.
How do I convert an animated WebP to GIF?
This converter extracts the first frame of an animated WebP as a static PNG. For converting animated WebP to animated GIF, you need a tool that handles the full frame sequence.
