About the WebP to PNG

WebP is WebP. Does both jobs: lossy like JPG but 25–35% smaller at matching quality, and lossless with transparency like PNG. Supported by every current browser. Older desktop software and some email clients still cannot open it, so it is a web format rather than a delivery format.

PNG is Portable Network Graphics. Lossless, with full alpha transparency. Perfect for screenshots, logos, diagrams and anything with hard edges or flat colour. Large for photographs — it stores every pixel exactly, and a photograph has no repeating detail to compress.

What changes in this conversion: PNG holds a single image. An animated WebP will be converted to its first frame only. Converting to PNG cannot restore what WebP already discarded. The file will get larger without getting better — the compression artefacts are stored losslessly along with everything else.

The whole conversion happens on a canvas in your own browser. The file is read from disk with the File API, decoded, redrawn and re-encoded locally, so it is never uploaded and there is no size limit beyond your device's memory.

How it works

  1. Drop in a WebP file — it is read by your browser, not uploaded.

  2. It is decoded and re-encoded as PNG on your own device.

  3. Download the result. Nothing is stored anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert WebP to PNG?
Drop your WebP file onto this page and the PNG version is produced immediately, in your browser. There is no upload, no queue and no account — the conversion runs on your own device using the canvas API.
Does converting WebP to PNG lose quality?
PNG is lossless, so nothing further is discarded during the conversion itself. Anything already lost by WebP's own compression cannot be recovered.
Is my WebP file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read by your browser, decoded and re-encoded on your device, and handed straight back. Nothing is transmitted, which matters when the image is a document, a screenshot of something private, or a photograph with location data in it.
Why would I convert WebP to PNG?
Lossless, with full alpha transparency. Perfect for screenshots, logos, diagrams and anything with hard edges or flat colour. That is usually the reason. Older desktop software and some email clients still cannot open it, so it is a web format rather than a delivery format.

Privacy
