Convert WebP to PNG in seconds
WebP is the image format Google introduced in 2010 to make web pages lighter, and it is now widely used across the web. The downside shows up when you save one of those images: Windows Photo Viewer in older versions, many desktop editors, print services and upload forms refuse .webp files. Converting to PNG gives you a file that opens everywhere and keeps the image exactly as it was, including any transparency.
All major browsers — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 14 or later — can read WebP, so this page uses your browser’s own decoder and its PNG encoder. There is no server step and no quality setting to worry about.
PNG or JPG: which should you pick?
| Your WebP image is… | Convert to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A logo, icon or sticker with a transparent background | PNG | Keeps the transparency |
| A screenshot, chart or image with text | PNG | No blur around sharp edges |
| A photo you want to share or print | JPG | Much smaller file, opens everywhere |
| An image you will edit and save again | PNG | Lossless, no extra quality loss |
If you are going the other way and want lighter files for a website, use JPG to WebP, which also accepts PNG.
What the converter keeps and what it drops
- Kept: the full width and height, every pixel and the alpha channel (transparency).
- Not kept: animation (only the first frame of an animated WebP is saved) and embedded metadata such as EXIF or XMP. The PNG is created from pixels only.
- File names:
banner.webpbecomesbanner.png. When you convert several files they come back in one ZIP with their original names.
Saving the original format instead
Sometimes you can avoid WebP altogether. Some sites only send WebP to browsers that announce support for it, and the same image may exist as JPG or PNG at a slightly different address. Opening the image in a new tab and looking at its URL can reveal a .png or .jpg version. Our guide Why do images save as WebP? explains why this happens. When there is none, converting here gives you an equivalent PNG in one step, and a lossless WebP (the kind sites often use for logos) converts to PNG with no change to a single pixel.
Tips
- Images look blurry or blocky? The website probably served a heavily compressed WebP. Converting can’t add detail back; look for a larger version of the image instead.
- The PNG is too big to upload? Convert to JPG or shrink it with Compress Image.
- Need a specific size? After converting, resize with the Social Media Image Resizer or check the dimensions with Check Image Size.
Private by design
The conversion happens entirely in your browser tab. The page’s security policy only lets it talk to its own server, it sets no tracking cookies, and once loaded it keeps working even if you go offline. There is no limit set by us on the number of files; the only limit is your device’s memory.
