WebP to PNG — Free, in Your Browser
The reverse of the size-optimisation swap: you have a WebP (a downloaded web asset, an app screenshot, a saved chat image) and you need the format that every editor, OS and office tool opens without a plugin — with transparency intact.

Why convert WebP to PNG
The reverse of the size-optimisation swap: you have a WebP (a downloaded web asset, an app screenshot, a saved chat image) and you need the format that every editor, OS and office tool opens without a plugin — with transparency intact. PNG is that format.
This converter is purpose-built for exactly this: decode the WebP, hand you back a PNG at full resolution with the alpha channel preserved. No quality settings to worry about, because PNG is lossless — what the WebP contains is what you get.
How to do it (3 steps)
- Drop in your WebP — decoded in your browser.
- The PNG is generated instantly.
- Download it — same pixels, same transparency, lossless.
Technical note
If the WebP was saved at high quality (90%+), the round-trip to PNG is visually lossless in practice. If it was saved at low quality, you are frozen with its artefacts — PNG preserves, it does not repair. File size will usually grow several-fold; that is the cost of the universal, lossless format.
The mistake worth avoiding
The common mistake is using this to fix a low-quality WebP. If the WebP was saved at 50% quality, the PNG you get is a faithful, lossless copy of the degraded image — the artefacts come with it. This converter preserves what is there; it does not reconstruct what a lossy encoder threw away. If quality matters, go back to the original source file if you still have one. A second habit worth breaking is dropping the lossless copy into a synced or uploaded project folder by default: for photographs the ratio is real, a 200 KB WebP can become 1.5–3 MB as PNG, so store the lossless version deliberately, in the place that actually needs it.
FAQ
- Is transparency preserved? Yes — the alpha channel comes through intact, so logos and cut-outs keep their shape.
- Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP? PNG is lossless and has no photographic compression. Expect several times the size — that is normal, not an error.
- Is my file uploaded? No. Everything happens inside your browser.
- Why is my converted PNG the same visual size? For screenshots and flat graphics, WebP and PNG are both efficient, so the size gap can be modest. For photographs the PNG will be several times larger — normal and expected.
