Convert WebP to PNG
Change a WebP into a PNG in your browser and keep a transparent background when the image has one. No upload. A free account runs it.
Files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded. Free account: 20 images a day, 10 at a time, 20 MB each.
If you need a different format
A photograph with no transparency should usually be a JPG. Convert WebP to JPG for email, Office, and forms. HEIC and AVIF are different files: HEIC to PNG and AVIF to PNG. The image converter covers every other pair.
- PopularHEIC to JPGiPhone photos that Windows and web forms will not open.
- HEIC to PNGA lossless bitmap when an editor asks for PNG.
- PopularWebP to JPGThe file Chrome saved when you chose Save image as.
- AVIF to JPGWhen a newer download will not open in an older app.
- AVIF to PNGGraphics with transparency that older tools still reject.
- PNG to JPGA photo stuck in a lossless file that is larger than it needs to be.
How to convert WebP to PNG
- 1Drop the .webp file, or click to choose several.
- 2Click Convert to PNG. There is no quality slider: PNG does not throw pixels away.
- 3Download the PNG. Open it on a checkerboard or in any editor if you need to confirm the transparent areas survived.
When the transparency is the reason
WebP can store an alpha channel, which is why logos, stickers, emoji-style graphics, and UI bits show up as WebP with a clear background. PNG is the file older design tools, PowerPoint, and many printers already understand, and it can store that same alpha. This page decodes the WebP in the browser and writes the pixels, including alpha, into a PNG.
A camera photo saved as WebP usually has no transparent pixels. PNG will still open everywhere, but the file often jumps in size because you asked a lossless format to hold a photograph. If the picture is a photo, WebP to JPG is the better everyday conversion.
What is not preserved
Animation is not. An animated WebP becomes the first frame, still, with whatever alpha that frame had. This is not an animated-PNG or GIF exporter.
A lossy WebP does not become sharper in PNG. PNG stops further damage; it does not undo the WebP encode. Lossless WebP does come across without a new generation of loss, which is the case where this conversion earns its size.
Search interest around WebP is mostly people trying to open a file some other app rejected, not people publishing new WebPs. Gizmobench’s September 2026 format study describes that gap. Keep WebP when you are the one publishing to the web.
When you should not convert
- The next tool accepts WebP. Leave the file alone.
- You need a small photo for a form. JPG, then compress if you still have a kilobyte cap.
- You wanted the animation. This page will disappoint you on purpose rather than pretend a still is a clip.
- Alpha stays alpha. Transparent pixels are not filled in, which is the whole point of this page versus JPG.
- In the browser. No upload to Tabpic, and a free account.
- Several files. Drop a set of icons and download them together.
- Size is shown. If the PNG grew, the result says so before you rely on it.
Frequently asked questions
Will a transparent WebP logo stay transparent?
Yes, when the WebP actually has transparent pixels. The PNG keeps them. Check the preview on a non-white page if you are unsure. A photo that only looks like it has a white background is opaque white, and PNG cannot tell the difference.
Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP?
WebP’s lossy mode is good at photographs and gradients. PNG stores them without that trick, so the file grows. For a flat logo the growth is often modest. For a photo it can be several times. That is the trade for a lossless, widely opened bitmap.
Can I convert WebP to PNG on my phone?
Yes. Open this page, pick the file, convert, and download. Very large images use a lot of memory because the PNG is a full bitmap. One file at a time is safer on an older phone.
Does this work for animated stickers?
You get one frame. If the sticker’s motion matters, this is the wrong tool. If you only needed a still with the transparent background, it is the right one.
Is PNG the same as “higher quality”?
Only in the sense that we do not compress the pixels again. A blurry WebP becomes a blurry PNG of the same pixels. There is nothing to reconstruct.
Do you upload the WebP?
No. Decoding and encoding happen on your device. The privacy line under the tool is the current behavior.
