WebP to PNG Converter — Free, In-Browser
Convert WebP to PNG lossless format. Files become larger—PNG uses less-efficient DEFLATE compression than WebP. For compatibility or editing only.

Converting to PNG makes files much larger, not better
This is the point that surprises people: converting a WebP to PNG does not improve the image and does not shrink the file. WebP uses some of the most efficient compression available, and PNG's lossless DEFLATE works far less effectively on photographic data. A 300 KB WebP photo can easily become a multi-megabyte PNG. For flat-colour graphics, logos and screenshots the gap is much smaller, because that is the content PNG's compression was designed around — but the file still grows rather than shrinks.
Lossless does not mean it can restore lost quality
"Lossless" describes what a format preserves from the moment it receives an image, not what it can recover. If your source WebP was lossy — as most are, since that is the point of using it — the fine detail is already gone. PNG then stores that result perfectly: every pixel the WebP handed it, and nothing more. You end up with a much bigger file containing exactly the same visual information. Quality is not restored by changing format, and no setting anywhere can change that.
Use PNG for compatibility and editing, not for quality or size
There are two good reasons to make this conversion. The first is compatibility: some software, older tooling, and certain upload or print pipelines still will not accept WebP. The second is editing: PNG is lossless, so a long session of cropping, retouching and repeated saving costs nothing, whereas a lossy intermediate degrades a little with every save.
What is not a good reason is expecting a better-looking or smaller file. Neither will happen.
One thing you will notice: there is no quality slider on this conversion. PNG is lossless, so there is no quality parameter to pass to the encoder, and the tool omits the control entirely rather than showing one that does nothing. Its absence is expected.
Transparency carries over perfectly; metadata does not
PNG supports full 8-bit alpha, so any transparency in your WebP stays exactly as it was. Because PNG has its own alpha channel, the background-colour control used for JPEG conversions is not shown here — there is nothing to flatten onto.
Metadata is a different story. The conversion strips all of it: EXIF, ICC colour profiles, GPS coordinates, camera settings and copyright fields. Only pixels reach the PNG. Keep the original WebP if any of that matters to you. See the PNG to JPG Converter if you need the opposite direction.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the WebP to PNG Converter.
Will my PNG be smaller than the WebP?
No, it will typically be several times larger. WebP compresses photographic data far more efficiently than PNG's lossless DEFLATE can. Only for flat-colour graphics, logos and screenshots is the increase modest, because that is the kind of content PNG handles well.
Will converting restore quality that was lost in the original WebP?
No. If the WebP was saved with lossy compression, that detail is permanently gone. PNG preserves exactly what the WebP contains and cannot reconstruct anything that was already discarded. Converting to a lossless format protects an image from future loss; it never undoes past loss.
Why is there no quality slider for PNG?
Because PNG is lossless, so there is no quality trade-off to make and nothing to pass to the encoder. The tool omits the control entirely for this conversion rather than showing one that would have no effect. Every pixel is preserved regardless.
What metadata gets removed during conversion?
All of it. The canvas re-encode discards EXIF, the ICC colour profile, GPS coordinates, camera settings and copyright fields, leaving only the pixels. If you need any of that information, keep the original WebP file alongside the PNG.
Will transparency in my WebP be preserved?
Yes. PNG supports full alpha transparency, so transparent and partially transparent pixels come through unchanged. The background-colour control is not shown for this conversion because there is nothing that needs flattening onto a solid colour.
