How it works
Add your images
Drag and drop, paste, or pick files. They upload over an encrypted connection.
Pick a quality or a target size
Use the quality slider, or tell it exactly how many KB or MB you need.

PNG is the oldest and most universally supported format for images with transparency, so converting a WebP file to PNG is useful when you need to use it in older software, a specific print workflow, or anywhere WebP isn't accepted. Transparency carries over fully.
Because PNG generally produces a larger file than WebP for the same content, expect the converted file to be bigger than the original WebP; that's an expected trade for broader compatibility, not a sign of anything wrong.
Like everything on this site, the conversion needs no sign-up, and your file is sent over an encrypted connection and deleted within one hour. If file size matters and you don't strictly need PNG, consider whether the destination actually requires it; staying with WebP, or converting to JPEG if transparency isn't needed, usually gives a smaller result.
Is the PNG an exact copy of the WebP?
Yes. This page starts at quality 90, and from 90 upwards our PNG output is lossless: each pixel that comes out of the WebP decoder is written into the PNG unchanged. Nothing is lost a second time. That makes PNG the right stop when the picture is going to be edited, layered in a design tool or saved over and over, since a PNG can be re-saved any number of times without wearing out.
What the conversion cannot do is undo the past. If the WebP was a lossy one, the detail it gave up stays gone; the PNG is a perfect record of the picture as it is now.
How much bigger, in numbers
For a photograph, a great deal. A lossy WebP of 200 KB can turn into a PNG of 2 MB or more, because PNG has to store every bit of grain exactly. For a logo, an icon or a sticker with flat colours the growth is modest, often less than double.
If the PNG is too heavy for where it is going, lower the quality below 90. The picture is then stored with a reduced palette of colours and can shrink by two thirds or more. For flat artwork you will not see it. For photos you may notice banding in smooth areas.
Stickers and animated WebP
Messaging apps store stickers as WebP, and the animated ones hold many frames. A PNG made here holds one picture, so an animated sticker comes back as its first frame, with a note that the motion was dropped. Still stickers convert cleanly with their transparent background intact, ready to be pasted into a document or a design. To keep an animation moving, set the output to GIF.
Frequently asked questions
Will the file get bigger after converting?
Usually yes, since PNG is typically less efficient than WebP for the same image.
Does transparency survive the conversion?
Yes, fully, including partial transparency.
Why convert to PNG instead of staying with WebP?
Mainly for compatibility with tools or systems that don't support WebP.
Can I compress the resulting PNG further?
Yes, use the quality slider here or the dedicated PNG compressor for more control.
Will the PNG have a transparent background?
Only if the WebP had one. Converting does not remove anything from the picture. To cut a subject out of an opaque photo, use the background remover.
Why can some programs open PNG but not WebP?
PNG has been a standard since 1996 and every image program written since reads it. WebP is from 2010 and reached some widely used software only in the last few years.
