About this tool
Many websites now serve images as WebP, so a picture saved from a browser often arrives as a .webp file that older apps, document editors and some upload forms refuse. Converting to PNG fixes that without losing transparency, because PNG supports it fully.
PNG is lossless, so the result is an exact copy of what the WebP displays. It will usually be larger than the WebP — sometimes much larger for photographs — because PNG does not discard anything. If size matters more than compatibility, JPG is the smaller alternative for photos.
Animated WebP files are converted to a still PNG of the first frame. PNG has no standard animation support that apps reliably show.
Frequently asked questions
Will transparent areas stay transparent?
Yes, transparent areas stay transparent when converting WebP to PNG, because PNG has a full alpha channel; semi-transparent pixels come through unchanged too.
Why is the PNG larger than the WebP?
A PNG is larger than the WebP it came from because WebP compresses by discarding detail you are unlikely to notice, while PNG stores every pixel exactly. The PNG looks the same but needs more space to hold it.
What happens to animated WebP files?
An animated WebP converts to a static PNG of its first frame only, because the browser decodes animations as a single still image.
Can I go back to WebP?
Yes, a PNG goes back to WebP with Klonum’s PNG to WebP converter, which the Reverse button on the WebP to PNG page opens, and where you can choose the quality.
