How to convert WebP to PNG
- 1
Drop your WebP file into the converter above, or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded — the file stays on your device.

Adjust the settings (an optional max width). Tip: No settings needed for this one — PNG is lossless, so the defaults give you an exact pixel copy. Add a width only if you also want to downscale.

Click “Convert to PNG”. The conversion runs locally in your browser — larger files take longer, and a progress bar keeps you posted.

Why convert WebP to PNG?
Websites increasingly serve WebP, so right-click–saved images often land as .webp — and then older versions of Photoshop, Office, government upload portals, and countless other tools refuse them. PNG is accepted literally everywhere.
PNG output is lossless: the conversion takes an exact pixel snapshot of the WebP, including its alpha transparency. Nothing further is lost, no matter how many times you edit and re-save the PNG afterwards.

About the formats
WebP WebP (Google)
WebP is Google's modern web image format. It compresses roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG at equivalent quality, supports both lossy and lossless modes, and keeps full alpha transparency. All modern browsers display it, though some older apps and upload forms still reject it.
PNG Portable Network Graphics
PNG is the standard lossless image format: pixels are preserved exactly, and full alpha transparency is supported. That makes it ideal for screenshots, logos, and UI graphics — at the cost of much larger files than lossy formats, especially for photos.
Frequently asked questions
Why do images I save from websites end in .webp?
Sites serve WebP because it's smaller and faster to load, and your browser saves whatever the site delivered. Converting to PNG gives you the same image in the format every app accepts.
Is any quality lost converting WebP to PNG?
No further loss occurs — PNG is lossless, so it stores exactly the pixels decoded from the WebP. (If the WebP itself was lossy-compressed, PNG faithfully preserves how it currently looks.)
Is this WebP to PNG converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no watermarks, no sign-up, and no conversion limits. The tool is supported by ads on this page, so the converter itself never asks you for anything.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly (a browser build of FFmpeg). Your WebP file never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded, stored, or seen by us, which also makes it safe for private or confidential files.
Is there a file size limit?
There's no hard limit. Because conversion happens on your own device, the practical ceiling is your browser's memory — files up to a few hundred megabytes work well on most computers. Very large files may be slow or fail on low-memory devices.
Why does the first conversion take a moment to start?
The first time you convert, your browser downloads the conversion engine (about 31 MB) once. It's cached after that, so later conversions start instantly — and they keep working even offline.
