Convert WebP to PNG

Converting WebP to PNG is worth doing when the destination matters more than the source. WebP is built for web images, roughly thirty percent smaller than JPG at similar quality. PNG is built for screenshots, logos and anything needing sharp edges or transparency. Which one you want depends entirely on where the image is going next.

Choose this over WebP to JPG when the image has transparency worth keeping. PNG is universally supported and lossless, so a transparent WebP survives intact, though the file will grow considerably because PNG cannot compress photographic content anywhere near as tightly.

Animation does not survive this conversion. PNG holds a single image, so an animated WebP is reduced to its first frame and the rest is discarded. Convert to WebP or AVIF if the movement needs to be preserved.

Worth knowing before you start: converting from WebP to PNG does not recover quality. WebP discarded detail permanently when it was first saved, and PNG preserves faithfully whatever it is given, including those existing compression artefacts. The file will get considerably larger with nothing visible gained. Convert from the original if you still have it.

PNG will preserve faithfully whatever it is handed, which from a lossy source means preserving the compression artefacts too. The file grows substantially and looks identical. That is worth it when you are about to edit, because it stops further generation loss, and pointless if you are simply saving a copy.

Both WebP modes are decoded here, lossy and lossless, which not every converter handles. The image is unpacked to raw pixels before re-encoding, so a lossless WebP passes through with its exact pixel data intact.
