Convert WebP to PNG to keep see-through backgrounds and edit the picture without new loss. Free, in your browser, nothing uploaded.
This WebP to PNG converter turns .webp images into PNG files inside your browser. WebP is the format many websites use for logos, product cut-outs, stickers and icons, and those pictures often have a transparent background. Convert them to JPG and the background turns white; convert WebP to PNG and the transparency stays exactly where it was. PNG is also the format that design tools, older image editors, office programs and game mods accept without trouble, and it is lossless, so the picture won’t get worse while you edit it. Here you can change .webp to PNG one by one or 30 at once, for free, without an extension and without uploading anything. Below we explain what the tool does with the transparent pixels, when PNG is the wrong choice, and how big the PNG will be.
Your browser decodes the WebP into pixels, including the alpha channel that stores how see-through each pixel is. The tool creates a canvas of exactly the same width and height. For PNG output it leaves the canvas empty (fully transparent) instead of filling it with white, draws the picture on top and saves the canvas as PNG with the browser’s built-in encoder. Because nothing is painted underneath, every transparent and half-transparent pixel keeps its alpha value. PNG is lossless, so there is no quality slider; the pixels in the PNG are the pixels the WebP decoded to. The name keeps its first part, so logo.webp becomes logo.png.
Worked example (measured). On 3 November 2026 in Chrome on a Windows PC we converted a 1200×800 WebP photo of 70.2 KB to PNG. The PNG was 859.9 KB, about 12 times bigger, with the same 1200×800 pixels. The same picture as JPG at 92% was 150.5 KB. That is why we say: PNG for graphics and transparency, JPG for photos.
Drop, choose or paste (Ctrl+V) WebP files into the box, up to 30 at once. Logos, stickers, screenshots and photos all work.
Each image is converted to lossless PNG straight away, with transparency kept. Open More options if you want JPG or WebP instead.
Click Download on each row, or Download all (ZIP) for two or more. Copy summary copies the names and sizes.
The tool never paints a background for PNG output, so the see-through parts of a logo, sticker or cut-out stay see-through.
PNG stores every pixel exactly. Crop, annotate and save it in your editor as often as you like without it getting worse.
PNG opens in practically every editor, office program, design tool and game mod, including those that don’t read WebP.
No browser extension or app to install. The conversion runs on your own device: no upload, no sign-up, no watermark.
| Your WebP image | Best output | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Logo or icon with see-through background | PNG | Keeps transparency |
| Sticker or cut-out product picture | PNG | Clean edges, no white box |
| Screenshot, chart or picture with text | PNG | Text stays crisp |
| File you will edit several times | PNG | No new loss on each save |
| Ordinary photo for sharing or a form | JPG | Far smaller file; use WebP to JPG |
| Image going back onto a website | Keep WebP | Already the smallest |
You can switch between JPG, PNG and WebP under More options at any time; the list converts again by itself.
WebP stores transparency with an 8-bit alpha channel, which means each pixel can be anything from fully see-through to fully solid, with 254 steps in between. PNG supports the same kind of alpha channel, so the conversion can keep it exactly. To check, open the PNG in your editor or place it on a coloured slide: if you see the colour behind it and no white box, the transparency came through.
One thing to know: if the WebP itself has a white background (many product photos do), there is no transparency to keep, and the PNG will have that white background too. A format change never removes a background.
Drag the .webp files from File Explorer into the box in Chrome, Edge or Firefox. Paint can open some WebP files and save as PNG, but one at a time; here a batch of 30 takes one drop.
Drag the files from Finder into the box in Safari, Chrome or Firefox. Preview can also export single files; this page is quicker for many.
Open the page in Chrome or Safari, tap the box and choose the files from Downloads, the gallery, Photos or Files. The PNG files are saved to Downloads or the Files app.
Some people search for a “WebP to PNG extension” for their browser. You don’t need one. Extensions ask for permission to read the pages you visit; this page asks for nothing and only sees the files you choose to drop in. Save the WebP images you need, drop them here, and download the PNG files. It works the same in every current browser, on every device, without installing anything.
PNG is the safe working format when a WebP picture is only the starting point. A few common cases:
For a whole set, such as a brand kit saved from a website, drop all files at once and use Download all (ZIP): every PNG keeps the name of its WebP, so nothing gets mixed up.
A WebP photo can become a heavy PNG, as the 859.9 KB example shows. If a website or app refuses the file because of its size, there are two good options:
The PNG has the same width, height and pixel colours as the decoded WebP, with the alpha channel kept. Limits to know about:
Typical online WebP to PNG converters upload your images to a server and send PNG files back, which can be slow because the PNGs are large. Here, your own browser reads the WebP and writes the PNG on your device, so nothing travels over the internet in either direction. Your logos, product pictures and screenshots are never stored anywhere else, and after the page has loaded the conversion works offline.
The tool also handles transparency in a way you can check in the code’s behaviour: for PNG and WebP output it never paints a background; only for JPG output does it fill white first. And it shows the real PNG size in every row, so you know before uploading it somewhere that a photo may have become too heavy.
The tool reads each file’s size in bytes and its width and height, converts it and shows the new size and pixel size; 1 KB is 1000 bytes. We do not remove or add backgrounds, sharpen, upscale, optimise the PNG further or collect anything about your images.

Only convert images you own or have the right to use.
Drop the .webp file into the box at the top of this page. PNG is preselected, so the PNG appears straight away; click Download or Download all (ZIP).
Yes. Both formats support transparency, and the tool doesn’t add a background for PNG, so see-through areas stay see-through.
No. This page works in any current browser without installing anything, and your files are not sent to a server.
Open this page in Safari, Chrome or Firefox and drag the .webp files from Finder into the box. The PNG files go to your Downloads folder.
WebP usually compresses pictures far more, while PNG keeps every pixel. In our test a 70.2 KB WebP photo became an 859.9 KB PNG; logos and graphics grow much less.
Choose PNG for logos, icons, stickers, screenshots and anything with transparency or that you will edit. Choose JPG for ordinary photos where a small file matters.
Only the first frame of an animated WebP is converted, so you get one still PNG.
Yes. It is free with no account, no watermark and no limit on how many images you convert.
