Image conversion
Convert WebP into a PNG copy
Choose PNG when the destination asks for it or when decoded transparency needs to remain available. Review the new file and keep the original WebP. Your files never leave your device.

WebP — up to 100 megapixels and 20,000px on a side
Camera metadata is not carried over: EXIF and XMP — capture date, camera model and any GPS tag — are left behind when the picture is redrawn as PNG. The pixels are all that moves across.
Transparency itself is preserved exactly, and so is everything you can see. The colour stored underneath transparent pixels is not: the browser blends it into the transparency as it reads the file. That only matters if you plan to edit the PNG later and raise the transparency to uncover those pixels — for that, keep the original WebP as well.
What this page helps you do
Make a PNG copy of a WebP graphic for software that accepts PNG, including logos and cutouts that need transparent pixels. The conversion retains the decoded image rather than asking the receiving app to understand WebP.
How to use the result
Select the WebP files, convert them, and open the PNG outputs in the intended editor. A batch can be downloaded together as a ZIP for convenient transfer.
Before you rely on it
- Check transparent edges against the destination background and confirm the image dimensions.
- Compare the output size with any upload cap; PNG can be substantially larger for photographs.
Limit to keep in mind: PNG does not restore detail already lost in the source WebP. This pixel-based conversion does not preserve source metadata or provide an animation-preserving workflow.
Choose PNG for a specific reason
PNG can store transparency and losslessly encode the pixels decoded by the browser. This suits a destination that requires PNG or a graphic that needs an alpha channel.
A PNG cannot reconstruct detail removed by an earlier lossy WebP encode. The new file may also be larger than its source.
Pixel conversion is different from source preservation
The converter creates a new file from decoded pixels. It does not copy source EXIF, XMP or colour-profile blocks, and colour appearance can change during decoding and export.
Inspect the new file in the application where it will be used. Retain the source when its original features and properties matter.
Check the next application’s limits
A valid PNG can still be too large in bytes or pixels for an upload field. Use the actual requirements to decide whether resizing or compression is needed.
For photographs that do not need transparency, compare a JPEG copy when the destination accepts it. Choose according to the task rather than assuming one extension is always better.

Frequently asked questions
- Can transparent areas remain transparent?
- PNG supports an alpha channel, so decoded transparency can be retained. Inspect partially transparent edges against the background where the graphic will be used.
- Will conversion reduce the file size?
- Not necessarily. A PNG can be substantially larger than a compressed WebP, especially for photographs. Check the finished byte size.
- Will PNG restore quality lost in the WebP?
- No. It can losslessly encode the decoded pixels, but it cannot recover source detail that is no longer present.
- Are the original metadata and colour profile preserved?
- The new file is encoded from pixels rather than copying the source EXIF, XMP and profile blocks. Check the appearance and retain the original for preservation.
- Where do the files get converted?
- Conversion runs in your browser. The selected image contents are not uploaded to a processing server.
