About WebP to PNG

Where WebP files come from

Websites send WebP to save bandwidth, so stickers, logos, and screenshots saved from the web often arrive as .webp. Design tools, older editors, and some upload forms want PNG, which is lossless and keeps transparency.

What changes

  • Transparency is kept exactly.
  • Every pixel the WebP shows is stored without further loss, so the PNG is an exact copy of the decoded picture. Detail a lossy WebP already lost doesn't come back.
  • An animated WebP becomes a still PNG of its first frame.
  • Metadata inside the WebP is not copied.

Measured

Our 12-megapixel sample photo and a 12-megapixel transparent sticker, both as WebP, converted in Chrome on a laptop. Phone timings are still to be measured.

In your browser

Every current browser reads WebP and writes PNG itself, so nothing extra is downloaded.

Limits

  • PNGs of photos are large, many times the WebP (33 times for our sample photo).
  • Animated WebP gives only the first frame.
  • Very large images may be reduced to about 16 megapixels on iPhones. The result says so.

Questions

Does WebP to PNG keep transparency?

Yes. PNG supports transparency, so see-through backgrounds stay see-through. Stickers and logos come out ready to place on any colour.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your device. We never upload them.

Why is the PNG so much bigger?

PNG stores every pixel without loss, while WebP usually compresses with some loss. The PNG is an exact copy of what the WebP shows, so it takes more space. Use Compress image to make it smaller.

Does it work with animated WebP?

Only the first frame is converted. The result tells you when an image was animated.

Can I convert many images at once?

Yes. Choose or drop as many as you like and download them all as one zip.
