This converter uses your browser's WebP decoder and Canvas PNG encoder. It is useful when a design app, document editor, or upload form will not accept WebP. The preview sits on a checkerboard so transparent areas stay visible. PNG uses lossless compression, so the result can be much larger than the compact WebP source.

Free WebP to PNG Converter
Runs entirely in your browser - no upload, no sign-up.
Your WebP is converted locally and never uploaded.
How does a WebP to PNG converter work?
A WebP to PNG converter decodes a WebP image and saves the visible pixels in the lossless PNG format. This tool keeps the image dimensions and alpha transparency, then shows the result beside the source. Conversion happens in your browser, so the image is never uploaded for processing.

How to use
- 01Choose a WebP
Drop a .webp file into the converter, choose it from your device, or load the transparent example.
- 02Review the source
Check the image, pixel dimensions, and animation notice before conversion.
- 03Convert to PNG
Select Convert to PNG. The browser decodes the WebP and writes a lossless PNG locally.
- 04Copy or download
Compare the file sizes, then copy the PNG image or download it with a clear filename.

Who it's for
- Designers can turn transparent WebP logos, icons, and overlays into PNG files for editors that do not accept WebP.
- Content teams can reuse images saved from modern websites in slides, documents, and older publishing systems.
- Developers can prepare a PNG test fixture or compatibility copy while keeping the source image's pixel dimensions.
- Privacy-conscious users can convert screenshots and client assets without sending them to a file-processing server.
FAQ
Is my WebP uploaded during conversion?
No. Your browser reads the WebP, decodes it locally, draws it to a Canvas, and creates the PNG on your device. The original and converted images are not sent to a processing server. Close or refresh the page and the in-memory preview is discarded.
Is this WebP to PNG converter free?
Yes. You can convert, preview, copy, and download a PNG without a subscription, watermark, or sign-up. The tool accepts one image at a time and has safety limits of 50 MB, 50 megapixels, and 16,384 pixels on either side.
How many WebP files can I convert?
You can convert one WebP at a time and repeat the process as often as needed. There is no daily quota. The one-file workflow keeps browser memory use predictable and lets you inspect each image and output size before downloading it.
Does WebP to PNG preserve transparency?
Yes. WebP and PNG both support an alpha channel, and the Canvas conversion keeps transparent and partially transparent pixels. The preview uses a checkerboard behind the image so you can distinguish transparency from solid white before downloading the PNG.
Can I convert an animated WebP to an animated PNG?
No. Standard PNG output is a still image. If the source WebP contains animation, this tool warns you and exports one browser-decoded frame. Keep the original WebP when you need motion, or use a dedicated animation converter for GIF, APNG, or video output.
Why is the PNG larger than the WebP?
PNG stores the decoded pixels with lossless compression, while WebP is designed for compact web delivery and may use lossy or more efficient lossless compression. A larger PNG is normal, especially for photographs. The converter reports both exact sizes instead of promising a smaller file.
Does converting WebP to PNG improve quality?
No. PNG avoids adding another lossy encoding step, but it cannot restore detail already removed from a lossy WebP. The output preserves the browser-decoded pixels from that point forward. Existing blur, ringing, or compression artifacts remain visible in the PNG.
Which browsers can convert WebP to PNG?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari can decode WebP and export PNG through Canvas. If a damaged file or an older browser cannot decode the source, the converter shows an error and leaves the original file unchanged.
