Free WebP to PNG Converter
This free tool converts WebP images to PNG in your browser, keeping any transparency and adding no further compression, which makes it the safe landing place for a logo or a graphic saved from the web.

WebP files — add as many as you like
Runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to a server.
How it works
- Drop the WebP above. Transparent areas are read along with the rest of the picture.
- It is written out as PNG, which records every pixel exactly instead of approximating it.
- Download it. Expect a considerably larger file, which is what lossless costs.
Common use cases
- Keeping a transparent logo transparent after saving it from a website.
- Getting a web image into an editor that refuses WebP, without stacking another round of compression on it.
- Preparing an image you are about to edit and resave several times, where each JPG save would cost a little more.
- Converting a screenshot, where PNG keeps text crisp and JPG puts a faint haze around every letter.
- Meeting a specification that names PNG, which most brand and press kits do.
Frequently asked questions
- PNG or JPG, for a WebP I saved from a website?
- PNG if it has transparency or is a graphic, screenshot or logo. JPG if it is a photograph and you want a sensible file size. The difference matters most with transparency: converting to JPG fills every transparent pixel with a solid color and there is no undoing it, while PNG carries it through untouched. If you are unsure whether your image has transparency, convert to PNG, because that choice cannot destroy anything.
- Why did the file get so much bigger?
- Because PNG is lossless and WebP usually is not. A lossy WebP has already thrown away detail to get small, sometimes a third smaller than the same picture as a JPG. PNG throws nothing away: it stores every pixel and compresses only by spotting repetition. Photographs have almost no exact repetition, so the file can grow several times over. Flat graphics with few colors compress well and grow far less.
- Does this improve the image?
- No. If the WebP was saved lossily, the detail it discarded is gone and no conversion brings it back. What PNG gives you is a floor: from here on, every save keeps the pixels exactly as they are. It stops future loss, it does not repair past loss, and any tool claiming otherwise is guessing at detail rather than recovering it.
- What if my WebP was lossless already?
- Then this conversion is genuinely lossless end to end and the pixels are identical afterwards. WebP has both modes, and lossless WebP is often smaller than the equivalent PNG, which is why some sites use it for graphics. You are trading file size for software that will open it.
- The PNG is too big. What now?
- Run it through our PNG compressor, which reduces the number of stored colors. On logos, icons and screenshots that routinely halves the file with nothing visible changing. On a photograph it will help less, and the real answer there is that the photo wanted to be a JPG or a WebP all along.
- Where does the conversion happen?
- In your browser, using the Canvas API. The file never leaves your device and nothing is kept.
