How to use it
- Add your WebP files.
- Press convert and wait for each file to finish.
- Check the preview and the size.
- Download the PNGs.
What it keeps
- Pixels as decoded from the WebP.
- Transparency, because PNG supports alpha.
- Pixel dimensions.
What it removes or changes
- A lossy WebP stays as degraded as it was. PNG does not recover lost detail.
- The file grows, often considerably for photographs.
- Animated WebP: only the first frame is converted.
Limits
- Metadata handling follows the format. WebP extras are not carried unless offered.
- No animation.
- Large PNG files can be too big for upload forms.
Compatibility
PNG opens in every browser and nearly every editor, and many programs that cannot read WebP read PNG. It is the standard way to hand a transparent graphic to someone using older software.
Privacy
Decoding and PNG writing happen in your browser. The image is not uploaded.
PNG, JPG or leaving it as WebP
PNG is the choice when you need an exact, editable copy with transparency and older software support. JPG is the choice for photos and smaller files. Leave it as WebP if the place you are using it supports WebP, since converting only adds size.
Troubleshooting
The PNG is far bigger than the WebP.
That is normal. If transparency is not needed, JPG is smaller.
The PNG looks identical to the WebP.
Right. PNG preserves what the WebP showed. It does not improve it.
The animation is lost.
Only the first frame is converted.
Frequently asked questions
Does PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas in the WebP stay transparent.
Is it lossless?
It adds no further loss after decoding. If the WebP was lossy, that loss is already in the picture.
Will a GIF-like animation work?
No. Only the first frame of an animated WebP is converted, so the result is a single still image.
