How to Convert WebP to PNG — Free Online Tool (2026)

You can convert WebP images to PNG for free using brevio WebP to PNG Converter. The tool decodes your WebP in the browser and re-encodes it as a lossless PNG — transparency is fully preserved. No upload, no account, no size limit.

How to Convert WebP to PNG

1. Open brevio WebP to PNG Converter. No sign-up needed.
2. Drop your WebP file or click to choose it. The file is read entirely in your browser.
3. Check the file size comparison. PNG is lossless, so the output is typically larger than the WebP input — this is expected and normal.
4. Click "Download PNG" to save the converted file with full transparency intact.

Why convert WebP to PNG?

WebP is an efficient format for web delivery, but it is not universally accepted. Common reasons to convert to PNG include: the target application (Photoshop, older Illustrator versions, print RIPs) does not open WebP; the design file requires a transparent background format and the receiving platform does not support transparent WebP; the file will be further edited and PNG preserves all pixel data without generational quality loss; or the image will be used in a context that specifically requires PNG (e.g., certain app store submission guidelines).

WebP vs PNG — feature comparison

Why is the PNG larger than the WebP?

Most WebP images on the web are lossy-encoded — they achieve their small size by discarding fine image detail that the human eye does not easily notice. When you decode a lossy WebP and re-encode it as lossless PNG, the PNG must store every pixel that resulted from the WebP decode, including all the compression artefacts. The PNG cannot be smaller than the decoded pixel data. For a 1200×900px WebP that is 120KB, the equivalent PNG will typically be 800KB–1.5MB depending on image complexity. This is not a tool issue — it is fundamental to converting from lossy to lossless.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting from WebP to PNG lose quality?

If the WebP was originally lossy-encoded, converting it to PNG does not add further quality loss. The PNG captures exactly the pixel values that the WebP decoder produced. However, the original lossy WebP compression artefacts are already baked in — you cannot recover the pre-WebP quality unless you have the original uncompressed source.

Are animated WebP files supported?

The browser reads only the first frame of an animated WebP. The output PNG will be a static image of that frame. For animated WebP conversion, you need a command-line tool such as FFmpeg or ImageMagick.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

The tool converts one file at a time. For batch WebP-to-PNG conversion, use ImageMagick from the command line: mogrify -format png *.webp converts every WebP in the current directory to PNG in place.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The entire conversion happens in your browser. The WebP is decoded and the PNG is generated using the HTML Canvas API without any network requests.
