WebP to PNG
WebP is efficient but not supported everywhere. PNG keeps transparency, opens in almost every program and is convenient for further editing. The conversion runs locally in your browser.
The image is converted in your browser — the file is not uploaded.

Why convert WebP to PNG
WebP is designed for the web, but many desktop editors and older programs still do not support it. PNG is universally recognised, supports transparency and stores the image losslessly, which makes it a safe format for further work.
The conversion is useful if you need to:
- edit a WebP image in an older editor;
- keep transparency for a logo or icon;
- insert the image into a document or presentation;
- avoid losing quality during repeated saves.
How it works
The browser decodes the WebP, draws it on a canvas and exports the result as PNG. No data is uploaded. If the browser cannot decode the file, the server processes it with sharp and deletes the result automatically.
What to know
PNG is larger than WebP, but it preserves transparency and quality. For a website, keep WebP as the optimised version and use PNG only when compatibility or lossless editing matters.
Questions and answers
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas from the WebP stay transparent.
Why is the PNG larger?
PNG stores image data losslessly, so it usually takes more space than WebP. That is the cost of compatibility and lossless editing.
Is the file uploaded to a server?
No. The image is decoded and re-encoded in your browser. If that fails, server-side processing with sharp takes over.
What is the maximum file size?
Up to 25 MB per image.
