Converting WebP to PNG, explained
PNG is the right destination for a .webp file whenever transparency has to survive or the image is about to be edited: favicon and app-icon generators, sprite and pixel-art editors, OCR and machine-learning pipelines, older design tools, and any workflow that will open and re-save the file several times. The pipeline is deliberately plain — the browser's own WebP decoder produces the pixels, they are drawn onto a canvas with no background fill, and the canvas PNG writer encodes them losslessly. Alpha is carried through untouched, so a cut-out logo stays cut out.
Everything is batched and local: drop or select any number of files, press Convert, watch a progress bar per card, then save each result or take the lot with Save all. Filenames carry over with the new extension (icon.webp becomes icon.png), so a folder of assets can be swapped by extension. Nothing is uploaded at any point, and the direction tabs above the card flip to WebP to JPG or the WebP-producing conversions when you need them.
Lossless from here — but not a quality restoration
The PNG encoding is genuinely lossless, and that is the point: from this file onward, editing and re-saving cost nothing. What it cannot do is undo the past. Most WebP files on the web are lossy, so whatever the original encoder discarded is already gone, and the PNG faithfully preserves the artifacts along with the picture. Convert because a tool demands PNG, because transparency has to survive, or because the image faces several editing passes — not in the hope of improving it. The cost is size: expect 2–10× the source, since lossless encoding of photographic detail is expensive, while flat icons and UI graphics grow far less and sometimes barely at all.
A few details worth knowing before a big batch. Animated WebP files yield their first frame as a still image — the animation is not preserved. Metadata is not carried across the canvas: EXIF, XMP and any embedded ICC profile are dropped and the output is plain 8-bit sRGB, so a wide-gamut source is converted to sRGB during decoding. Every current browser can both decode WebP and write PNG from a canvas, so unlike the conversions that produce WebP or AVIF, this one has no browser caveat — Safari included. Save all fires one download per file rather than a ZIP, so allow multiple downloads the first time your browser asks. If the PNGs are bulkier than you need, the PNG Compressor squeezes them losslessly, and PNG to WebP takes an edited file back the other way.
| Property | Result in the PNG |
|---|---|
| Transparency (alpha) | Preserved exactly — nothing is flattened |
| Pixels | Identical to the decoded WebP; PNG adds no further loss |
| File size | Typically 2–10× the WebP |
| Animation | First frame only — an animated WebP becomes a still |
| EXIF / XMP / ICC | Dropped; output is 8-bit sRGB |
| Filename | icon.webp → icon.png |

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the WebP to PNG.
01Does WebP to PNG work in Safari and Firefox?
Yes, in every current browser. Decoding WebP and writing PNG from a canvas are both universal, so this is one of the few conversions on the site with no browser caveat — unlike the ones that produce WebP or AVIF, which need Chromium or Firefox to encode. The PNG is 8-bit RGBA with the alpha channel carried through untouched.
02Is WebP to PNG really lossless?
The encoding step is: once the WebP is decoded, PNG stores those exact pixels with no further loss, which is why PNG is the right format for images about to be edited repeatedly. But it is not a repair. If the source was a lossy WebP — most files on the web are — the detail that encoder threw away stays gone, and its artifacts are preserved perfectly along with everything else. You get a lossless copy of the WebP as it exists now, not the image before it became a WebP.
03What happens to an animated WebP?
Only the first frame converts. The decoder hands the canvas a single still image, so an animated .webp comes out as a one-frame PNG with the animation gone — useful when you wanted a poster frame, disappointing if you wanted the motion. There is no PNG format that would hold it anyway (APNG is a separate encoder no browser canvas writes), so keep the original .webp for playback and treat the PNG as a snapshot.
