WebP Web Picture format
WebP is Google's web image format. It supports both lossy and lossless compression plus alpha transparency, and typically produces files 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPG at similar visual quality. Every current browser displays it.

PNG stores pixels with lossless DEFLATE compression and a full 8-bit alpha channel. It is the safe default for screenshots, logos, UI assets and anything with sharp edges or text, because every pixel survives exactly as drawn.

Why convert WebP to PNG?
WebP files mostly arrive when you save an image from a website, because Chrome and most large sites now serve WebP instead of JPG or PNG. Older desktop software, some print shops and many upload forms still reject it. Choose PNG when you need exact pixels or transparency, for example to keep editing the image or place it on a coloured background.
WebP to PNG settings
Animated WebP files are converted using their first frame. You can also cap the width and height, which resizes large photos in the same step.
Frequently asked questions
Will the PNG lose quality?
PNG is lossless, so the conversion keeps every pixel or sample that is in your WebP file. It cannot bring back detail that WebP compression already removed, and the PNG file will usually be larger.
Is transparency kept when converting WebP to PNG?
Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas in your WebP stay transparent.
Will the PNG be smaller than the WebP?
No, usually larger for photos: as a rough guide, the PNG comes out at around 13× the size of the WebP, depending on the quality setting.
