What it does
Lossless PNG output
WebP to PNG conversion is always lossless — PNG captures every pixel from the WebP source with no additional compression artifacts.
Transparency preserved
WebP alpha channels convert cleanly to PNG transparency. No white-box backgrounds.
Batch conversion
Upload up to 20 WebP files at once and download all converted PNGs as a ZIP.
Universal compatibility output
PNG is supported by every image editor, browser, CMS, and design tool. Use this when you need to edit a WebP image in software that lacks WebP support.
How to use WebP to PNG Converter
- 1Upload your WebP files
Drag and drop .webp files onto the drop zone or click to browse. Up to 20 files at once.
- 2Convert
Click "Convert to PNG". The Canvas API decodes each WebP and re-encodes as lossless PNG.
- 3Download
Download each PNG individually or click "Download ZIP" for all files at once.
When to use this
Editing in Photoshop or older software
Photoshop CS6 and older versions do not support WebP. Convert to PNG first, edit, then convert back.
Sending images to clients
WebP is not universally supported in email clients and older operating systems. PNG is the safe choice for sharing.
Extracting images from web pages
Modern websites often serve images as WebP. If you downloaded a .webp file and need a compatible PNG, this converter handles it instantly.
Common errors & fixes
- WebP file not accepted
- Ensure the file has a .webp extension. Some downloaded WebP images are incorrectly named .jpg — rename them to .webp before uploading.
- Converted PNG is much larger than WebP
- This is expected. WebP lossy files achieve compression ratios that PNG cannot match. A 200 KB WebP photograph may become 800 KB as PNG. If you need a small PNG, consider using the Image Compressor tool after conversion.

What is WebP?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google in 2010. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, full alpha transparency, and animation. WebP files are typically 25–35% smaller than JPEG and 25% smaller than PNG at equivalent visual quality, making it the preferred format for web delivery.
All modern browsers support WebP. However, many desktop applications, older software, and some online services do not — which is why converting WebP to PNG is often necessary for editing or sharing.
What is PNG?
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is the universal standard for lossless raster images. Every image editor, browser, operating system, and design tool understands PNG. It supports transparency and produces exact, pixel-perfect images without any generation loss.
The trade-off is file size — PNG files are larger than WebP for photographic content. But for compatibility, editable formats, and archiving, PNG remains the most reliable choice.
WebP vs PNG: Compatibility considerations
WebP is excellent for web delivery but has gaps in software support. Adobe Photoshop only gained native WebP support in 2022 (version 23.2). GIMP added it in 2.10.2 (2018). Microsoft Photos supports viewing WebP. Many print workflows and specialized software still lack WebP support entirely.
Converting WebP to PNG solves all compatibility issues. The only cost is larger file size — which is acceptable for editing, archiving, or sharing contexts where the WebP compression savings are not needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WebP file?
- WebP is a modern image format by Google that supports lossy compression, lossless compression, and transparency. It produces files 25–35% smaller than PNG or JPEG at the same quality and is used by most websites for faster loading.

- No. Files are decoded and re-encoded entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is transmitted to any server.
Can I batch convert WebP to PNG?
- Yes, upload up to 20 WebP files at once and download all PNGs in a ZIP archive.
Is there quality loss when converting WebP to PNG?
- No. PNG is lossless, so it captures the exact pixel data from the WebP source. If the source WebP was lossy, those artifacts are already in the WebP — PNG preserves them as-is without adding any new loss.
What is the maximum file size?
