Convert WebP to PNG

Step-by-Step Guide

5 steps · takes under 1 minute

1

Open the Format Converter

Go to the Convert from JPG tool — it handles WebP, JPG, and other formats as input and can output PNG.

2

Upload your WebP file

Drag and drop your .webp file onto the upload zone. The browser reads WebP natively (Chrome, Firefox, Safari all support it).

3

Select PNG as output format

Choose PNG as the output. PNG is a lossless format — all pixel data from the WebP source is preserved exactly.

4

Transparency is preserved automatically

If your WebP has a transparent background, the PNG output preserves it. No configuration needed — transparency transfers without any action from you.

5

Download the PNG

Click download. The PNG file saves to your device. File size will be larger than the WebP source — that's expected, since PNG is uncompressed lossless.

🔒

100% Private — Zero Uploads

ImgToolkit runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never sent to a server, never stored in the cloud, and never seen by anyone else. This makes it safe for sensitive documents, client work, medical imagery, and confidential screenshots.

💡

Pro tip

Always keep your original file before converting. Lossy formats like JPG discard data permanently — you can't restore quality that was compressed away.

Frequently Asked Questions

4 questions answered

Why is the PNG larger than the original WebP?

WebP achieves smaller files through advanced compression. PNG is lossless and less efficiently compressed. A WebP file of 150 KB might expand to 800 KB as PNG. This is expected and correct — the PNG contains all the same visual information without any compression artifacts.

Does converting WebP to PNG lose any quality?

No. PNG is a lossless format, so converting any image to PNG preserves all pixel data perfectly. WebP-to-PNG conversion is entirely lossless — the output PNG is a pixel-perfect copy of the WebP source.

Why can't I open WebP files in Photoshop or older software?

Older versions of Photoshop (before 2021), Paint on Windows 7/8, and many legacy design tools do not include WebP decoders. Converting to PNG or JPG gives you universal compatibility. Photoshop 2021+ supports WebP natively via the Camera Raw plugin.

Is WebP or PNG better for web use?

WebP is better for web delivery — it's 26% smaller than PNG at equivalent quality and supports both transparency and animation. PNG is better for editing workflows, print, and software that doesn't support WebP. Use WebP for publishing, PNG for editing.
