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

5 questions answered

Why is my PNG larger than the original WebP?

WebP uses aggressive compression to achieve small file sizes. PNG is a lossless format that stores every pixel without compression artifacts — which means larger files. This is expected and correct. If you need a small file with transparency, WebP is the better choice for delivery.

Does WebP to PNG conversion preserve transparency?

Yes. If your WebP file has an alpha channel (transparency), the converted PNG will also have transparency. The alpha data is carried through the conversion losslessly.

Can I edit the PNG in Photoshop after conversion?

Yes — PNG is one of the most compatible formats for editing. Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity Photo, and all other major editors open PNG natively. Layers and transparency are supported.

Is there any quality loss when converting WebP to PNG?

If your source WebP was lossless, the PNG conversion is perfect — no quality loss at all. If the source WebP was lossy (which most WebP images from websites are), the PNG will be a perfect copy of the lossy WebP — it won't recover detail that was removed when the WebP was originally compressed.

What's the difference between PNG and PNG-8?

Standard PNG (PNG-24) stores full color (16 million colors) and is produced by this tool. PNG-8 limits the palette to 256 colors, like GIF, and produces smaller files but with visible banding on photographs. For most use cases, PNG-24 is correct.
