Convert WebP images to PNG
Many websites now serve images as WebP because it is small and fast. But when you save one, older programs, some editors and upload forms can’t open it. This WebP to PNG converter turns WebP files into standard PNG images that open everywhere — and keeps transparent backgrounds transparent.
How to convert WebP to PNG
- Drop your .webp files.
- Choose PNG (or JPG for smaller photos).
- Download the converted images one by one or as a ZIP.
WebP vs PNG
WebP supports transparency and animation and is usually much smaller, which makes it ideal for websites. PNG is older, larger and lossless, but every app, printer and document editor supports it. Convert to PNG when you need to edit, print or share an image; keep WebP for your website.
Animated WebP?
PNG files can only hold one frame, so animated WebP images are converted using the first frame. To keep the animation, convert to GIF with the image converter.
Want the opposite? Convert PNG or JPG to WebP in the image converter to make your website faster, then shrink files further with the image compressor.
When you need PNG instead of WebP
- Your editing program, printer software or an upload form won’t accept WebP.
- You want to edit an image with transparency — PNG keeps the transparent background.
- You need a lossless copy before making more edits.
- A marketplace or document template asks for PNG or JPG only.
PNG or JPG?
This page starts on PNG, which keeps transparency and quality but makes larger files. Choose JPG instead for photos without transparency when you need a small file — the size estimate next to each format shows the difference before you convert.
Options worth knowing
- Batch: drop many WebP files and download them all as a ZIP.
- Resize: convert and resize in one step for websites or marketplaces.
- Background: keep transparency, or fill it with white or a colour of your choice.
- File names: keep the original names or add your own pattern.
Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP?
WebP uses modern compression; PNG is lossless and older. A PNG is often 3–8 times larger. If size matters, use JPG for photos, or run the PNG through the image compressor.
