Convert WEBP to PNG
Turn WEBP images into PNG files right in your browser. No upload, no signup, no watermark.
WebP images downloaded from websites often won't open in older editors, office software or upload forms. This converter changes a WEBP file to PNG directly in your browser — pick the file, convert, download. Transparency is preserved and nothing is sent to a server.

About WEBP to PNG
What WebP to PNG conversion actually does
The WEBP file is decoded by your browser into raw pixels, drawn onto a canvas with its alpha channel intact, then re-encoded as a PNG. PNG is lossless, so every pixel of the decoded frame is stored exactly as it was decoded. The conversion does not recover detail the WebP encoder already discarded — it gives you a file that any application can open and that won't degrade further when you edit and re-save it.
Why the PNG is bigger than the WEBP
Almost every WEBP on the web is lossy and heavily compressed; PNG has to record each pixel. A 150 KB WEBP commonly becomes roughly 1 MB as a PNG. That is expected, not a fault of the conversion. If you need a small file for the web instead of maximum compatibility, compress the PNG or convert back to a modern format afterwards.
Transparency and animation
PNG and WebP both support an alpha channel, so cut-outs, logos and soft shadows come through unchanged. Animated WEBP files are a different case: only the first frame can be represented in a standard PNG, so the output is a single still image.
Settings and output
There is no quality slider here
PNG output is always lossless, so this tool has one control: pick the file and convert. If you want a smaller result afterwards, run the PNG through the PNG Compressor and switch its output format to WebP or JPG.
When to use it
- Opening a WEBP saved from a website in software that only reads PNG or JPG.
- Adding a downloaded graphic to a document, slide deck or print layout.
- Preparing a transparent logo or cut-out for an editor that rejects WebP uploads.
- Attaching an image to a form or portal that accepts PNG only.
Limitations to know
- Quality lost by the original WebP encoder cannot be restored.
- Animated WEBP files convert to their first frame only.
- Very large images depend on your device's available memory, since decoding happens in the browser tab.
Common problems and fixes
The download is a huge PNG — did something go wrong?
No. A 200 KB WEBP regularly becomes a 1–2 MB PNG because PNG has to store every pixel exactly. If the size matters more than compatibility, compress the PNG afterwards or keep the original WEBP.
My animated WEBP only converted one frame.
That's expected — PNG has no animation support, so only the first frame is decoded and saved. To keep motion, keep the WEBP or convert it to GIF elsewhere.
The file won't load or shows a decode error.
Some very old or corrupted WEBP files, and a few produced by non-standard encoders, aren't recognised by the browser's built-in decoder. Re-export the WEBP from its source if possible.
How to use it
- 1Drop a WEBP file onto the upload area. Decoding happens in your browser, so the file never leaves the device.
- 2Check the decoded dimensions in the metadata line — WebP files often come from a CDN already scaled down.
- 3Press Convert. The frame is drawn to a canvas with its alpha channel intact and re-encoded as lossless PNG.
- 4Download the PNG. Expect it to be noticeably larger than the WEBP, since PNG stores every pixel exactly.
Frequently asked questions
Is transparency kept when I convert WEBP to PNG?
Yes. Both formats support an alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels come through unchanged.
Why is the PNG several times larger than the WEBP?
Most WEBP files on the web are lossy and already discarded detail to get small. PNG is lossless, so it has to store the result pixel by pixel — a 150 KB WEBP commonly lands around 1 MB as a PNG.
Does this restore quality lost by the WEBP encoder?
No. Compression artefacts in the source are copied faithfully into the PNG. The benefit is that further edits and re-saves won't add new artefacts.
What happens to an animated WEBP?
Only the first frame is decoded and converted. PNG can't hold the animation, so the output is a single still image.
How do I convert WEBP to PNG for free without installing anything?
Open this page, drop the WEBP file in and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser with no signup, no watermark and no upload, so it also works offline once the page has loaded.
Can I convert several WEBP files to PNG?
Files are converted one at a time. Each conversion is fast because there is no upload or queue — convert, download, then drop the next file in.
