Drop the .webp file above and download a PNG. Transparency is preserved and PNG opens in every editor and app, including older ones that cannot read WebP. Nothing is uploaded: the page loads the converter once, then the file is read and written by your own browser.
Why convert WEBP to PNG?
Websites serve images as WebP because the files are small, so “Save image as” in Chrome or Edge often gives you a .webp. Older versions of Photoshop, Office and many upload forms do not accept it; PNG is the safe, lossless choice.
How it works
1. Drop the WebP image.
2. PNG is selected as the output — no quality setting needed.
3. Download the PNG. Decoding uses libwebp compiled to WebAssembly, so it works even in browsers that cannot save WebP themselves.
WEBP vs PNG
WebP: can be lossy or lossless, supports transparency and animation, and is typically much smaller than PNG. Displayed by every current browser; app support is good but not universal.
PNG: always lossless, supports transparency, no animation (a single frame), larger files, supported everywhere.
Choose PNG over JPG here when the image has transparency, text or flat graphics.
Quality notes
The PNG reproduces the decoded WebP exactly; if the WebP was lossy, its compression is baked in and PNG will not remove it. Expect the PNG to be larger. An animated WebP becomes a single still frame.
Common use cases
Editing images saved from websites; putting web graphics into Word, PowerPoint or older design software; keeping a transparent logo downloaded as WebP.
Frequently asked questions
Is transparency kept?+
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas stay transparent.
What happens to an animated WebP?+
PNG holds a single image, so you get one frame. Use a GIF or video tool if you need the animation.
Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP?+
PNG is lossless and less efficient than WebP’s compression, so the same picture takes more bytes.
PNG or JPG?+
PNG if the image has transparency, text or sharp edges; JPG if it is a photo and you want a smaller file.
