How to convert WEBP to PNG
- Add your .WEBP file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .PNG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .PNG file.
What to expect
- Transparency is preserved: PNG supports full alpha channels, so a WebP with a transparent background converts correctly.
- File size increases: PNG files are typically 20-30% larger than equivalent lossless WebP.
- Animation is lost: an animated
.webpbecomes a single static frame - use GIF or APNG if you need to keep the animation.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting WebP to PNG lose quality?
Not if the source WebP is lossless. If it was a lossy WebP (common for photos saved from websites), those compression artefacts are already baked in - PNG stores them without making things worse, but cannot remove them.
Will a transparent background survive the conversion?
Yes. PNG supports full alpha transparency, so transparent areas in your WebP are preserved exactly.
Why is the PNG file bigger than the WebP?
WebP uses more efficient compression than PNG - the same pixels are stored in a less compact way, and the trade-off is broader compatibility with apps and upload forms.
Can I convert multiple WebP files at once?
Yes. IrfanView's Batch Conversion (File > Batch Conversion/Rename) and XnConvert both handle entire folders in one pass.
