Convert WebP to PNG While Preserving Full Transparency
WebP is excellent for web delivery, but sometimes you need your image in a more universally supported format — especially for editing, print workflows, or applications that don’t yet recognize WebP. This free converter transforms your WebP files into transparent PNG images that work everywhere, all without uploading anything.
Why PNG Is the Right Destination
- Transparency preserved — both formats support full alpha channels, so transparent pixels come through intact.
- Lossless fidelity — PNG captures exactly what the WebP decoder produced, no further quality loss.
- Universal editor support — every major image editor (Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity, Figma, Sketch) handles PNG natively.
- Safe for archives — PNG is a stable, well-supported format that will keep opening correctly decades from now.
How This WebP to PNG Tool Works
Your WebP file is decoded using your browser’s native WebP support, re-encoded as lossless PNG, then optionally optimized with oxipng — an open-source PNG compressor that finds the smallest possible lossless encoding. Oxipng never changes pixels; it just stores them more efficiently. The Compression slider controls how hard oxipng searches — higher settings produce smaller files at the cost of processing time.
About File Size
PNG files are typically 2–5x larger than the WebP source because WebP uses more efficient compression. That’s the trade-off for universal compatibility and lossless fidelity. For many use cases — editing, archival, graphics work — the larger file is completely worth it.
100% Browser-Based, 100% Private
All processing happens locally using WebAssembly. Your WebP files never touch a server. The tool works offline after the initial page load. There are no file size limits imposed by upload servers, and your images remain private regardless of their content.
