Convert WebP to PNG without losing transparency
WebP is small, but plenty of editors, CMSs and print workflows still refuse to open it. PNG opens everywhere and keeps transparent areas exactly as they are.
- Transparency
- Preserved
- Quality
- No further loss
- Leaves your device
- Never
Which output should you pick?
Choose PNG when
- The image has a transparent background you need to keep.
- You are sending it to print, or into an editor that rejects WebP.
- You will edit it further and do not want more compression.
Choose JPG instead when
- File size matters more than transparency.
- The image is a photo with no transparent areas.
- An upload form caps you at a few megabytes.
How it works
Choose your WebP file
The image is read straight from your device. It is not uploaded anywhere.
PNG is already selected
This page opens with PNG as the target, so you can convert immediately without changing any setting.
Convert
The alpha channel is carried across untouched, so transparent regions stay transparent.
The picture never leaves your device
Compressing or converting a photo usually means sending it to somebody else's computer and getting a new one back. Here the work happens in the page you are already looking at: your browser opens the file, the tool rewrites it, and the browser hands you the result.
- Opened from your disk by your browser — not sent anywhere first.
- Held in the tab while the tool works, then dropped.
- Saved to your device by your browser, not by a link to a server.
- Closing the tab clears the working copy completely.
- No account, so nothing is ever attached to an identity.
- No tracking of what you worked on or what was inside the file.
There is no queue and no waiting room. The picture is worked on in front of you and released the moment the tab closes. You can read more about how the conversion runs on your own device, or check our guide to verifying it in DevTools.
What people use it for
Making a format open everywhere
PNG, JPG and WebP each suit different jobs. Convert once and stop worrying about which app can read the file.
Shipping a lighter page
Hero images are usually the heaviest thing on a site. Getting them smaller before they reach your CMS is the fastest performance win available.
Sending photos on a weak signal
On hotel Wi-Fi or a poor mobile connection a full-resolution photo can sit at sending for minutes. A smaller copy goes through in seconds.
Preparing marketplace listings
Selling platforms set their own caps on size and dimensions. Get inside them before you start filling in the form.

When something goes wrong
Damaged files, and formats outside the list above, stop with a plain message rather than a spinner that never finishes. If a picture opens in your gallery it will normally open here.
The format is not supported. Convert it to PNG or JPG first, or try one of the other image tools.
Why not an upload site
An upload-based tool is a form that posts your picture to someone else's machine. Take that step out and a lot of small annoyances disappear with it.

Questions
Does converting WebP to PNG improve the quality?
It prevents further quality loss rather than adding detail back. Most WebP files are already compressed with some loss, so the PNG preserves exactly what the WebP held — it cannot recover detail the WebP had already discarded.
Will my transparent background survive?
Yes. Both WebP and PNG support an alpha channel, and transparent areas are carried across unchanged. This is the main reason to choose PNG over JPG here: JPG has no transparency at all and fills those regions with white.
Why is the PNG so much larger than my WebP?
PNG stores pixels losslessly, while most WebP files are lossy. A PNG of the same image is routinely several times larger. If file size matters more than transparency, converting to JPG gives a much smaller result.
Can I convert several WebP files at once?
One at a time on this page. Every conversion runs on your own device, so there is no upload queue and no waiting for a server.
Is there a file size limit?
The limit is your device rather than a plan. Files are handled locally in the browser, so large images are bounded by available memory instead of a paid tier.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit is imposed by the tool. The practical ceiling is how much memory your device has free, because the whole job runs inside this browser tab.
