Why convert WebP to PNG?

PNG is universally supported across all applications, devices, and platforms. Converting WebP to PNG ensures compatibility when WebP is not accepted, such as in older software, print services, or certain CMS platforms.

Is transparency preserved in the conversion?

Yes. If the original WebP has transparency (alpha channel), it is fully preserved in the output PNG file.

Why is the PNG larger than the WebP file?

PNG uses a different compression algorithm that prioritizes universal compatibility and lossless quality. WebP achieves better compression ratios, so the PNG will typically be 20-40% larger.

Does the conversion lose any quality?

No. The conversion from WebP to PNG is lossless. Every pixel in the WebP is faithfully reproduced in the PNG. Any artifacts present are from the original WebP compression.

Can I convert animated WebP to PNG?

This tool converts to static PNG. Animated WebP files will have their first frame extracted. For animated formats, consider converting to GIF instead.

How do I open a WebP file on my computer?

Most modern operating systems can open WebP files natively. If yours cannot, simply use this tool to convert the WebP to PNG, which is universally supported.

About WebP to PNG

While WebP is an excellent format for web delivery, there are many situations where you need to convert WebP files back to the universally compatible PNG format. PicTools' WebP to PNG converter handles this conversion instantly in your browser, preserving transparency and delivering a lossless PNG output.

The most common reason for WebP to PNG conversion is compatibility. Despite WebP's growing adoption, many applications, tools, and platforms still do not fully support it. Desktop publishing software, some email clients, older image editors, and certain print services may not accept WebP files. Converting to PNG gives you a universally accepted format that works everywhere.
