Convert WEBP to PNG Online
Turn WebP images into universally compatible PNG files in your browser. PNG output is lossless, keeps transparency, and opens in virtually every editor, browser, and operating system.
How to Convert WEBP to PNG in Three Steps
Drop in one WebP or several files, choose PNG as your output, then download lossless results individually or as a ZIP.
Step 1
Add Your WebP
Drag a WebP file into the converter or select a whole batch.
Step 2
Select PNG
Pick PNG as the output format for lossless, universally supported results.
Step 3
Download PNG
Save files one at a time, or download the full set as a ZIP.
Why Convert WebP to PNG — Universal Compatibility With Lossless Quality
WebP is an excellent delivery format, but it is far from universally readable. Older versions of Photoshop need a plugin, several Microsoft Office builds refuse to import it, plenty of content management uploaders whitelist only JPG and PNG, print pipelines often reject it entirely, and a surprising number of mobile and desktop apps still fail to open one. Meanwhile, more and more images downloaded from the web arrive as WebP, which is exactly why converting back to PNG has become such a common task. Anyone who has ever downloaded an image from the web and found it unopenable in their editor has hit this exact problem.
The conversion itself is handled by your browser rather than a remote server. Modern browsers decode WebP natively, so the image is read, drawn onto a canvas, and re-encoded as a lossless PNG on your own machine. Any alpha channel in the source is carried straight across, so transparent logos and cutouts keep clean edges. Because the output is lossless, no further visual data is discarded during the process. Pixel dimensions and the alpha channel both carry across unchanged, so what you get is a faithful PNG copy of the decoded image.
It is worth being precise about animated WebP. The canvas captures the frame the browser is displaying, so an animated WebP produces a single static PNG rather than a sequence of frames. If you need individual frames extracted, that requires a dedicated frame extraction tool. For the overwhelming majority of files people convert, which are static images, this makes no difference at all.
You should also expect the PNG to be larger than the WebP you started with. That is simply the cost of moving from a highly optimized modern format to a universally compatible lossless one. The trade is deliberate: you give up some bytes and gain a file that opens everywhere, survives being handed to a printer, a client or a colleague on older software, and can be edited without any further quality loss. For client handoff and print workflows especially, that guarantee is worth far more than the extra megabytes.
Common situations include rescuing a downloaded image that will not open in your editor, preparing artwork for a print or design workflow, satisfying an upload form that only accepts PNG, and archiving a lossless master from a web-optimized source. Everything runs locally, so nothing sensitive is transmitted, there is no sign-up, and no watermark is added to any file you download. Batch conversion and a single ZIP export keep the whole job to a couple of clicks.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
WebP is efficient but not universally supported. Plenty of desktop applications, print workflows, content management systems and older apps cannot open it. Converting to PNG gives you a lossless file that opens everywhere, while preserving transparency and avoiding any further quality loss.
No. Your WebP is decoded by the browser, painted onto a canvas and encoded as PNG entirely on your device. No data is transmitted, nothing is stored once you close the tab, and no account is required. You can confirm this in the Network tab of your browser developer tools.
An animated WebP produces a single static PNG from the frame the browser is currently displaying. The tool does not extract or export animation frames. If you need each frame saved separately, use a dedicated frame extraction tool rather than a general format converter.
Usually yes. WebP is a more efficient format, so moving to lossless PNG generally increases file size. That is the deliberate trade for universal compatibility. If size is your priority, keep the WebP; if the file needs to open anywhere, the larger PNG is worth it.
Yes. WebP’s eight-bit alpha channel is carried directly into the PNG output, so transparent backgrounds, soft edges and semi-transparent regions all survive. There is no background flattening step and no fill color is applied during the conversion.
Yes. Drag in multiple WebP files and every one is converted in the same session. You can save each PNG individually or download the complete set together as a single ZIP archive, which is much faster when you are dealing with a folder of web downloads.
The encoding step is fully lossless, so the PNG preserves exactly the pixels your browser decoded from the WebP. If the source was itself a lossy WebP, that earlier compression is of course still present, but this conversion does not remove any additional detail.
Yes. There is no registration, no email requirement, no daily conversion limit and no premium tier holding back features. You can convert one file or hundreds in a day on identical terms, and every downloaded PNG is clean with no watermark added.
Older versions of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator without plugins, several Microsoft Office builds, many print and prepress pipelines, some legacy content management uploaders, and a range of older mobile and desktop applications. PNG remains the safe interchange format across all of them.
No. A file extension is only a label; the data inside is still WebP-compressed. Programs read the actual bytes, so a renamed file either fails to open or opens as WebP. This converter decodes the WebP and re-encodes the pixels as true PNG data.
