WebP to PNG Converter: Free, Keeps Transparency, No Uploads
Turn WebP images into PNG without uploading them anywhere and without losing the transparent background. For when you need to edit, print or upload to sites that still reject WebP.
or click to choose them. WebP, PNG, JPG and AVIF, several at once. You can also paste them with Ctrl+V.

Your images never leave your device: they’re converted right here, in your browser. No uploads, no sign-up.
How it works: your browser opens each image, redraws it on a canvas at the width you pick and saves it in the new format. Nothing goes to any server. Animated WebP files keep only their first frame. When you download them all, your browser may ask permission to save multiple files.
You don't need Photoshop or a random upload site to go from WebP to PNG. This tool opens the WebP in your browser and saves it as a PNG, transparency intact and without losing a single pixel along the way. It handles one image or fifty at once.

Each image shows its dimensions and its size before and after. If the image is huge, type a max width and it shrinks without stretching.

WebP to PNG without losing quality or transparency
PNG is lossless: what goes in is what comes out. When you convert WebP to PNG, the image stays identical to what you see on screen, and the alpha channel (the transparency) is preserved as is. That makes it the right pick for logos, icons, product cutouts and any graphic you'll place on another background.
What converting can't do is bring back detail. If the WebP was compressed with loss, the PNG keeps that same image, small flaws included, just in a format any app can open.
Why the PNG is bigger: our test
We checked it in Chrome in October 2026, with a real 1,672 × 941 px photo:
| Format | File size |
|---|---|
| Original WebP | 164 KB |
| PNG (lossless) | 2.1 MB |
| JPG, quality 85 | 194 KB |
The PNG is thirteen times heavier. For photos you just need to open somewhere else, go from WebP to JPG instead: it weighs about the same as the WebP and works everywhere. Save PNG for when you truly need transparency or an exact copy.
WebP vs PNG: which one has better quality?
They can match, because lossless WebP, like PNG, keeps every pixel. What changes is file size and compatibility.
| PNG | WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Lossless | Lossless or lossy |
| File size | The baseline | 26% smaller when lossless; lossy with transparency is typically 3 times smaller, according to Google |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Opens in any app | Yes | Not older ones |
For the web, WebP. For editing, printing or sending to someone else, PNG. And since PNG almost always weighs more, keep it off your site unless you need the exact copy. In our test with the Notablia logo, a 38 KB transparent PNG came out as a 17 KB WebP. If in doubt, keep both: the PNG as your master file and the WebP for publishing.
How to open WebP files (and when to convert them)
Any current browser opens a WebP: drag it into a Chrome or Edge tab. The problems show up elsewhere:
- Editing: some older design apps and many phone apps won't open WebP.
- Logos and cutouts: if the WebP has a transparent background, PNG keeps it; JPG would turn it white.
- Uploads: forms, marketplaces or print shops that only accept PNG or JPG.
The other way around: if the image is going on your website, leave it as WebP. Google explains on its WebP format page why it's so much lighter. Building your own site? See how to build a website with AI.
Why do images save as WebP, and how to get a PNG instead
Sites send WebP to browsers that say they can read it, so “Save image as” hands you the WebP. Three ways around it:
- Copy, don’t save. Right-click the image, choose “Copy image” and paste it into the tool above with Ctrl+V. You get a PNG without ever saving the WebP.
- Convert what you already downloaded. Drop the file into the tool and download the PNG.
- Take a screenshot. It works in a pinch, but you lose resolution and any transparency.
The original on the server is often a JPG or a PNG. The WebP is just the copy your browser was offered, which is why a plain “Save image as” keeps handing it to you.
Always check that you’re allowed to reuse the image before you convert it.
Frequently asked questions about converting WebP to PNG
How do I change a WebP to PNG?
Drop the .webp file into the tool above: PNG is already selected as the output format. In a second you'll see the converted image with its new size and a download button. Got a bunch? Drop them all together and hit Download all. Nothing to install, nothing uploaded: the conversion runs in your browser.
Can I just rename .webp to .png?
No. Renaming only changes the label: inside, it's still a WebP, and plenty of apps and upload forms will reject it or open it wrong. To get a real PNG, the image has to be decoded and saved again in that format, which is exactly what this tool does in your browser.
Why are images saving as WebP?
Because the site serves you the WebP version so it loads faster. Many servers detect that your browser understands WebP and send that format even when the original was a JPG or PNG. When you right-click and choose Save image as, you get what was downloaded: the WebP. Convert it here and you're done.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?
Because PNG is lossless: it stores every pixel exactly and throws nothing away. In our test, a photo that weighed 164 KB as WebP came out at 2.1 MB as PNG. That's normal, and it doesn't mean you gained quality: it's the same image stored less efficiently. If you only need compatibility, not transparency, convert it to JPG instead.
What is a WebP file?
It's an image format Google created to make web pages lighter. It compresses with or without loss, supports transparency and animation, and every current browser reads it. The trouble starts outside the browser: some older editors, print shops and upload forms still won't take it, which is why people convert it to PNG or JPG.
