Drop the WebP file into the box above, set the output format to PNG, and download the result: that is how to convert WebP to PNG on this page, at full lossless quality, with any transparent background carried straight through to the PNG's alpha channel, no signup needed for files up to 25 MB and batches up to 30 images.
Most people converting WebP to PNG are not chasing a smaller file. They are chasing one that a specific tool will actually accept, and one where a transparent background stays transparent instead of turning into a solid block of color. A logo, an icon, a screenshot with a cutout background, or a graphic saved off a site that serves WebP by default: all of that opens fine in a modern browser, then hits a wall the moment it needs to go into an older copy of Photoshop or GIMP, a print vendor's upload template, a favicon generator, a slide deck, or any tool that flatly does not list WebP as an accepted format. PNG is the format almost everything still takes without a fight, and unlike a JPG output, it can actually hold onto the see-through part of the image. Does WebP even support transparency in the first place? Yes, and the full mechanics of that are in the WebP transparency guide; this page covers what happens when you move that transparency into a PNG.
How to Convert WebP to PNG
Drag the WebP file onto the box above, or click to pick it, and set the output format to PNG before you download. There is nothing to install and no account required for files under 25 MB. This WebP to PNG converter runs entirely in your browser tab. Because PNG compression is lossless, the tool does not apply a quality setting to the output the way it does for JPG or WebP: every pixel in the source, including every partially see-through one, comes back exactly as it went in.
Three things make this a genuinely different job from a WebP to JPG conversion. The alpha channel, the part of the file format that marks each pixel as fully opaque, fully see-through, or somewhere in between, survives completely. The color values do not get re-quantized the way a lossy re-encode would. And there is no quality slider to second-guess, because PNG output here is always lossless, full stop.
Why PNG Beats JPG for This Conversion
JPG has no alpha channel at all, so converting a WebP with any transparent pixels to JPG forces every one of them to become a solid color, almost always white. If the graphic is a logo meant to sit on a colored background, or an icon meant to overlay a photo, that flattening usually ruins the point of the image. PNG is built to hold that information the format never had to invent a workaround for, since alpha transparency has been part of the PNG spec since its first version.
The tradeoff runs the other way on file size. WebP's lossy encoding is built to beat JPEG on photographic detail, typically landing 25 to 35 percent smaller for the same visual quality, the same math behind this site's homepage demo: a 497 KB JPG re-encoded to 214 KB WebP at quality 80, a 56.9 percent cut. Take that same 214 KB WebP and send it to JPG instead of PNG, and the size grows back toward its original 497 KB, since JPG's lossy encoding needs roughly that many bytes to hold the same look. Send it to PNG instead, and the outcome is different again: PNG has to store every pixel exactly, with no lossy shortcuts available, so a photographic WebP converted to PNG typically comes back several times larger than either the WebP or the JPG version, not because anything went wrong, but because lossless encoding of photographic detail is expensive no matter which tool does it. A flat-color logo or icon does not have this problem nearly as badly, since PNG's compression handles large blocks of identical color efficiently either way.
| Convert 214 KB WebP to | Size outcome | Transparency |
|---|---|---|
| JPG | grows back toward ~497 KB | lost, turns solid white |
| PNG (photo content) | grows further, often several times over | fully preserved |
| PNG (flat graphic, logo/icon) | usually a small increase | fully preserved |
What This Conversion Costs
No account needed on this page: up to 25 MB per file, 30 files a batch, as many times as you come back. A free account raises that to 100 images a month with a usage dashboard to track it. For regular batches or programmatic use, Pro is 12 dollars a month flat: 10,000 images, files up to 50 MB, batches of 100, no per-image charge at any volume. Converting a file you already uploaded again, at a different quality or a different output format, never counts against your total a second time. Full tier details are on the pricing page, and developers can point their own conversion code at the same engine through the API reference.
| Plan | Per file | Per batch | Monthly cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| No signup | 25 MB | 30 images | none applied |
| Free account | 25 MB | 30 images | 100 images |
| Pro, $12 a month | 50 MB | 100 images | 10,000 images |
What Happens to Your File Afterward
It does not stick around. Files run through the browser tool are deleted within an hour, on a cleanup sweep that runs every 15 minutes, and before that the only way to reach one is a signed link that expires in 15 minutes on its own; there is no public bucket to browse. Every file also gets its EXIF metadata stripped automatically, the hidden data a camera or app writes into the file, including GPS coordinates, camera model, and timestamp, regardless of which format goes in or comes out. Nothing you upload trains a model or gets looked at by anyone.
