WebP to PNG: lossless copies that keep transparency
This WebP to PNG converter turns WebP images into PNG files without adding any new compression. Transparent backgrounds stay transparent, and every pixel the browser decodes from your WebP is written to the PNG exactly. Convert one image or a whole batch, then download single files or one ZIP — privately, in your own browser.
PNG is the format to choose when the image is a logo, icon, sticker, screenshot or graphic, when you need transparency, or when you want a master copy you can edit and re-save without it degrading. It is also the format almost every design tool, presentation app and older program accepts without fuss.
How to use the WebP to PNG Converter
- Drop your WebP images onto the upload area, or click it to choose files. Pasting with Ctrl+V works too.
- Decide whether to Keep or Remove any EXIF data stored in the WebP.
- The PNGs are created immediately. Click a thumbnail to inspect one, and switch between Converted and Original to compare.
- Download each PNG, or the whole batch with Download all.
WebP to PNG Converter features
Transparency preserved
WebP’s alpha channel carries straight over to the PNG, including soft, partly transparent edges.
No new loss
PNG is lossless, so the converted file holds exactly what the browser decoded from the WebP.
Sticker friendly
Turns WhatsApp sticker files into PNGs that editors, slide decks and design apps can open.
EXIF on request
Keep camera data in a PNG eXIf chunk, or drop it for privacy.
First frame of animations
Animated WebPs are saved as a PNG of their first frame and flagged in the list.
Lossy, lossless and what PNG preserves
A WebP file can be compressed in one of two quite different ways. Lossy WebP, based on the VP8 video codec, discards detail to save space, much as JPG does. Lossless WebP, which Google added in 2011–2012, stores every pixel exactly using techniques such as spatial prediction, colour caching and backward references; Google reports such files are about 26% smaller than equivalent PNGs.
Converting to PNG works the same for both. A lossless WebP becomes a PNG with identical pixels; a lossy one becomes a PNG of the picture as it currently looks, compression artefacts included — PNG simply stops anything further being lost. Either way the PNG is normally the larger file, because PNG’s DEFLATE compression is older and less efficient than WebP’s.
Common reasons to convert WebP to PNG
- Stickers and emoji. WhatsApp stickers are 512 × 512-pixel WebP files with transparent backgrounds; as PNGs they open in any editor or presentation.
- Logos and product cut-outs downloaded from a website, which need their transparent background in a document or slide.
- Editing. Every editor reads PNG, and PNG survives repeated saving without degrading.
- Older software and print workflows that predate WebP support.
- Making icons. Convert first, then build a full icon set with the favicon generator.

WebP to PNG Converter FAQ
How do I convert WebP to PNG?
Drop the WebP images on the converter above. Each one is saved as a PNG straight away; download them individually or all together as a ZIP. Transparency and dimensions are kept.
Does WebP to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports a full alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent areas of the WebP stay exactly as they were.
Is WebP to PNG conversion lossless?
The conversion itself adds no loss: the PNG contains exactly the pixels decoded from the WebP. If the WebP was lossy, its existing compression artefacts remain.
Why is the PNG larger than the WebP?
WebP compresses better than PNG — Google measured lossless WebP at about 26% smaller than PNG, and lossy WebP is smaller still. Larger PNG files are expected.
Can I convert animated WebP to PNG?
Only the first frame is converted, because a standard PNG holds a single image. The file list marks animated files so you know.
Are my images uploaded to convert them?
No. The page runs entirely in your browser and your images never leave your device; converting doesn’t need any server.
