Short answer: To convert WebP to PNG, drop the image above, choose PNG and click Convert. Transparent backgrounds are kept. The PNG will be larger than the WebP, and animated WebP files keep only their first frame.
WebP pictures from websites are efficient for browsing, but design programs, slide decks and older tools often want PNG. The big advantage of converting to PNG instead of JPG is that transparent areas survive, so a logo or sticker keeps its see-through background. This page converts WebP to PNG inside your browser, with no upload and no account.
Why is PNG the safe format for editing?
PNG is supported almost everywhere: image editors, word processors, presentation tools, website builders and print software. It is also lossless, so editing and saving repeatedly does not degrade the picture. If you saved a WebP graphic from a website and want to modify it or place it on top of other content, PNG is the dependable choice.
Transparency and animation
If your WebP has a transparent background, the PNG will keep it exactly. That makes PNG the right target for logos, icons, stickers and cut-out products. Animated WebP files behave differently: only the first frame is converted, because the PNG produced here is a single still picture. If you need the motion, keep the original file.
Size and quality
A lossy WebP that has already been compressed will become a larger PNG, because the PNG stores every pixel of the decoded picture. That does not improve it, since details discarded when the WebP was created stay gone. If the aim is simply to open the picture in a program that dislikes WebP and size matters, JPG gives a smaller file, at the price of losing transparency.
Preparing images for a design
Designers often receive WebP files from clients or websites. Converting to PNG first means your design tool treats them like any other asset, with transparency intact. Check the edges against a dark and a light background after converting, since a soft shadow can look different on each. If the file is large, you can set the width in Advanced options to the size you really need, which keeps your project light. Save the PNG next to the original with a rename pattern like {name}-png so you can always find the source again.
Questions people ask
Does the PNG keep my transparent background?
Yes. PNG supports transparency, so see-through areas of the WebP are preserved.
What happens to an animated WebP?
Only the first frame is converted. The result is one still PNG.
Why is the PNG bigger than my WebP?
PNG stores every pixel exactly, while WebP is usually compressed more strongly.
Why does my PNG show a dark or checkered background in one app and white in another?
That is each app's way of showing transparent areas. The PNG keeps the WebP's transparency, and the app chooses how to display it.
Is a sticker from a messaging app a WebP?
Many stickers are WebP files, some animated. Converting to PNG gives you a still image, made from the first frame, that works in any editor.
