Convert WebP to PNG Online
Convert a WebP image to PNG. PNG is a lossless format, so the conversion keeps every pixel — handy when you need to edit the image afterwards. Runs locally.

How do you convert a WebP to PNG?
Converting a WebP to PNG here is a three-step loop: drop the file, watch the conversion run, and download. The tool decodes your WebP and re-encodes it as a lossless PNG, keeping every pixel and any transparency exactly as they arrived. Because both formats are preselected there is no picker to manage, and there is no quality slider either, since PNG output is lossless. The whole job runs in your browser through the Canvas API. The trade-off is size: a 260 KB WebP photo often becomes a 1.5 to 2.5 MB PNG, because lossless storage keeps every pixel.
- 1Drop or select a WebP. Files up to 50 MB are accepted.
- 2Watch the conversion run in place. No quality slider is needed, because PNG output is lossless.
- 3Download the PNG. Your original WebP is never modified.
Why does the PNG get bigger than the WebP?
Size grows because the two formats store data differently. WebP is usually lossy, so it discards detail to shrink the file, while PNG records every pixel losslessly. For photos the gap is large: a 300 KB WebP commonly becomes a 1.5 to 2.5 MB PNG, roughly five to eight times heavier. For flat graphics such as logos and icons the gap is smaller, since those images compress well in both formats.
- Photos grow the most, often 5 to 8 times larger than the WebP source.
- Screenshots and UI captures grow less, sometimes only 2 to 3 times larger.
- Flat logos and simple graphics stay close to the source size, since both formats handle them efficiently.
Common use cases for WebP to PNG conversion
Editing a downloaded asset
A WebP file downloaded from a website is already compressed, and opening it in an editor risks further loss with each save. Converting to PNG first locks the current pixels in place. A 190 KB WebP icon becomes a 400 KB PNG, and from then on every edit and save is lossless.
Delivering files to a client or printer
Design and print tools lag on WebP support, and a lossless delivery format is often a hard requirement. A 900 KB WebP layout converted to PNG becomes a 3 MB file the recipient can open and proof without any compatibility questions.
Preserving transparency
Both formats keep transparency, but PNG is the safer choice when the file must move through tools that do not fully honor WebP alpha. A transparent product shot at 620 KB WebP converts to a 2 MB PNG with the alpha channel intact.
Archiving a lossless master
Teams that keep one master copy for every derivative convert the source to PNG once. A 500 KB WebP photo becomes a 2.5 MB PNG master, which then feeds every smaller JPG and WebP variant without ever re-encoding the original again.
Is WebP to PNG a lossless conversion?
The PNG output is lossless, which means the conversion itself does not discard any pixels. What it cannot do is restore detail that the WebP already lost: if the source was created with lossy compression, those artifacts are baked in and the PNG carries them over exactly. In other words, converting from WebP to PNG adds no further loss, but it also cannot undo the compression that happened before the file reached this page.
When should you keep the WebP instead?
- Keep the WebP for images served on a website, where the smaller size matters most.
- Keep the WebP when the file will not be edited again and compatibility is not a concern.
- Convert to PNG when editing, printing, or a lossless delivery format is the requirement.
What stays exactly the same during the conversion?
The pixels and the alpha channel both carry over unchanged. PNG is lossless, so nothing is recompressed, and it supports a full alpha channel, so every transparent pixel in the WebP appears in the PNG in the same place. The only thing that changes is the container and the size, which is why the output is usually several times larger than the source WebP.
- Color and pixel values carry over exactly, with no recompression.
- Transparency carries over exactly, including soft alpha edges.
- The file size grows, because lossless storage takes more space than a lossy WebP.
Why convert in the browser?
Every image processed on this page is handled by the Canvas API inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, no account is required, and there is no queue to wait in. That makes the tool a sensible choice for client assets, internal screenshots, and personal photos where sending the file to a third-party service would be a problem. Processing starts the moment the file is selected and a typical conversion finishes in under a second.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser with the Canvas API, so the file never leaves your device. There is no upload step, no account, and no processing queue.
Does converting WebP to PNG lose quality?
The conversion itself is lossless, so no further quality is lost. If the source WebP was created with lossy compression, that detail is already gone, but converting it to PNG does not add any more loss.
Why is my PNG bigger than the WebP?
PNG stores every pixel losslessly, while WebP is usually lossy and compresses much harder. A PNG can be several times larger than the WebP it came from, and that is the normal cost of a lossless, universally supported format.
Does the PNG keep the transparency from my WebP?
Yes. PNG supports a full alpha channel, so any transparency in the WebP carries over to the PNG exactly as it is.
Will the PNG look better than the WebP?
It will look identical, not better. Lossless conversion keeps the pixels exactly as they are, so any artifacts from the WebP are preserved rather than removed.
Is there a file size limit?
Input files are limited to 50 MB. The ceiling exists because the tool decodes the full image into memory in your browser, and anything much larger makes the page sluggish. Most WebP files are far below the limit.
Can I convert several WebP files to PNG at once?
Not on this page yet. The tool converts one image at a time, locally in your browser. Batch conversion is planned for a later release.
