WebP to PNG Converter
Convert WebP images to PNG so they open in any app, older editors, office software, and workflows that don't accept WebP yet.
Private by design: This tool runs entirely in your browser using its built-in image engine. Your files are not uploaded to a server, and nothing you convert is stored or logged. See how in-browser processing works.
How to convert WEBP to PNG
Drop your WebP files onto the upload area, or click it to browse.
Click Convert. Each image is decoded and saved as a lossless PNG.
Download images individually, or grab everything as a ZIP.
Why some apps can't open WebP
WebP is a browser-era format, and plenty of desktop software predates it: older Photoshop versions (before 23.2), many print-shop and government upload systems, and assorted viewers and office suites simply refuse the file. Converting to PNG makes the image readable by effectively everything.
What you get
PNG is lossless, so the conversion preserves every pixel exactly as the WebP displays it, including transparency. Expect the PNG to be noticeably larger: that's the cost of the universal, lossless container.
Need a smaller file instead?
If the destination doesn't need transparency, WebP to JPG produces much smaller files that are just as universally supported.
Good to know
PNG output is lossless, exactly the pixels from your WebP, in a format everything accepts.
Transparency in the WebP is preserved in the PNG.
Animated WebP files convert as a single frame (the first one).
Frequently asked questions
Why won't my WebP file open in my editor?
WebP is a newer format, and some desktop applications, especially older versions of Photoshop and office suites, never added support. Converting to PNG makes the image readable everywhere.
Is quality lost in the conversion?
No new loss is introduced: PNG is lossless. If the WebP itself was saved lossily, the PNG preserves it exactly as it looks now.
Do animated WebP files work?
Only the first frame is converted, since PNG is a still-image format. For animations, convert to GIF or a video format instead.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser and your images never leave your device.
Which programs typically can't open WebP?
Older versions of Photoshop (pre-2022), many print and government upload portals, some email clients and office suites, and most software last updated before ~2020. Browsers all handle it fine.
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. PNG supports alpha transparency, so transparent WebP graphics convert with their transparency intact.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the WebP?
WebP compresses aggressively; PNG stores losslessly. For photographic content the PNG can be several times larger: that's normal and expected.
Guides for this tool
- PNG vs WebP: What's the Difference?WebP does most of what PNG does at a fraction of the size, which is why performance audits keep telling you to switch. Here's what actually changes, and when PNG is still the right answer.
- WebP Files Won't Open? Why It Happens and How to Fix ItYou right-clicked an image, saved it, and now Word, Photoshop, or an upload form refuses to touch it. The file is almost certainly a WebP, or, increasingly, an AVIF. Neither is broken; they're just newer than the software you're trying to use.
