Turn WebP files into PNG
This WebP to PNG converter changes Google's WebP images into PNG files that open almost anywhere. WebP is great for fast websites, but many editors, older apps and print services still want PNG. Your browser decodes each WebP, and the tool saves the exact pixels as a lossless PNG, with transparency intact if there was any. There's no upload and no watermark.
Want a smaller file instead? Use the WebP to JPG Converter.
Why use this free online WebP to PNG converter
- No upload. Images are converted on your device, so there's no waiting on a server.
- Transparency kept. Transparent areas stay transparent, or you can fill them with white or black.
- Batch friendly. Convert up to 30 images at once.
- No signup, no watermark. Open the page and go.
- Full size. The PNG has the same width and height as the WebP.
How to convert WebP to PNG: step-by-step guide
Step 1: Add your WebP images
Drag files onto the dashed box, or click it and pick them from your device. You can select several at once, up to 30. Need to add more later? Click Add images in the sidebar. Files that aren't WebP, or are over 50 MB, are skipped and the status line tells you how many.
Step 2: Choose a background
Keep transparency is the default and is right for logos, icons, stickers and cut-out product shots. Pick White or Black if the image will land on a page, document or print job where you want a solid color behind it. The fill is applied behind the image, so opaque pixels don't change.
Step 3: Convert
Click Convert to PNG. Images are processed one after another, and each result appears in the list with a preview, its pixel size and its file size. If one file fails, the rest still finish.
Step 4: Download
Click Download beside any result, or use Download all to save every PNG in turn. Each file keeps its original name with a .png ending, so photo.webp becomes photo.png.
Tips for best results
- Check the checkerboard preview. If you see the pattern through the image, that area is transparent.
- Going to the web or email? Run the PNG through Compress Image File afterward.
- Need a flat photo with no transparency? PNG to JPG or WebP to JPG gives a much smaller file.

Who uses a WebP to PNG converter

Expert tips and common mistakes
Expect a bigger file
WebP compresses far better than PNG, so a 80 KB WebP photo can become a PNG of several hundred KB or more. For photos without transparency, JPG is usually smaller. Try the WebP to JPG Converter.
Don't expect lost detail to return
If the WebP was saved with lossy compression, the PNG copies those pixels as they are. It won't look sharper.
Pick a background for light or dark pages
Keep transparency for logos and icons. Choose white if you're sending the PNG to someone whose viewer shows transparent areas as black.
Need a different size?
Convert first, then change dimensions with Resize Image, or shrink the file with Compress Image File.
Privacy and security
Your images are processed in your browser and are never uploaded. The page loads no external scripts, fonts or images, and it makes no network requests while you convert. The tool stores nothing in cookies or local storage. Closing or refreshing the tab clears your files and results from memory.
This tool vs. other ways to convert WebP to PNG
Each option has a place. Here's how they differ in practice:
| Factor | This browser tool | Desktop editors | Server-based sites |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | None, just open the page | Install an app; older versions may need a plugin for WebP | None |
| Where files are processed | On your device | On your device | Usually on the site's server |
| Upload wait | None | None | Depends on file size and connection |
| Batch conversion | Yes, up to 30 | Often, with actions or scripts | Varies, often limited on free plans |
| Fine editing and color control | No, conversion only | Yes | Rarely |
| Cost | Free | Free or paid, depends on the app | Often free with limits or ads |
If you're already editing in a desktop app, its Save As or Export option is handy. This page is faster for a quick conversion, a batch of files, or a computer where you can't install software.
Troubleshooting
"Not a valid WebP image"
The file may be corrupted or renamed from another format. Re-download it, or open it in a browser to check that it displays.
"Image is too large to convert"
Your browser couldn't allocate memory for that many pixels. Try a computer, close other tabs, or shrink the image first.
The PNG has a black background
Some viewers show transparency as black. Set Background to White and convert again.
Only the first frame appears
That's expected for animated WebP. This tool saves still images only.
Download all only saved some files
Your browser may block several downloads at once. Allow multiple downloads for this site, or use the Download buttons one at a time.
File won't load
Check that it's a .webp file under 50 MB. Other formats are skipped.
Glossary
- WebP
- An image format from Google that supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation. It's built for small files on the web.
- PNG
- Portable Network Graphics, a lossless image format with full transparency support, widely accepted by editors, apps and print services.
- Lossless compression
- Compression that keeps every pixel exactly as it is. PNG always uses it.
- Lossy compression
- Compression that throws away some detail to shrink the file. WebP can use it, and JPG always does.
- Alpha channel
- The part of an image that stores transparency. It's what lets a logo sit on any background.
- Canvas
- A browser feature that draws images in memory. This tool uses it to decode the WebP and write the PNG.
Frequently asked questions
Is this WebP to PNG converter really free?
Yes. There is no fee, no account, no watermark and no daily limit. Convert as many WebP images as you like, up to 30 files at a time.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Your images are processed in your browser and are never uploaded. The page makes no network requests while you convert.
Does PNG keep the transparent background of my WebP?
Yes. By default the transparent areas stay transparent in the PNG. You can also choose a white or black background in the settings.
Will the PNG look worse than my WebP?
No. PNG is lossless, so the pixels you see in the WebP are saved exactly. A lossy WebP will not get its lost detail back, though.
Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP?
WebP usually compresses much better than PNG, so the PNG is often larger. That is normal. If size matters, try the JPG option or compress the result.
Can it convert animated WebP files?
Only the first frame is saved. PNG here is a single still image, and this tool does not build animations.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. There is no login, no download and no extension. Open the page, add your WebP files, click Convert to PNG and save the results. It works in current Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Tap the box to pick WebP images from your phone or tablet, convert, and download the PNGs. Buttons are at least 44 pixels tall. Very large images are safer on a computer because phones have less memory.
What is the difference between WebP and PNG?
WebP is designed for small web files and can be lossy or lossless. PNG is always lossless and is accepted almost everywhere, but its files are usually larger. Both support transparency.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, conversion needs no internet connection, because it runs in your browser and makes no network requests. You do need to be online to open the page the first time.
