WebP to PNG converter
WebP is the format most websites now serve, which is why an image you save from Google, a shop or a blog often turns out to be a .webp file that an older editor, a print shop or a form refuses to open. This WebP to PNG converter turns those files into PNG right in your browser. PNG is lossless and keeps transparency, so a cut-out logo or sticker stays see-through. Drop in up to 30 images at once: each row shows the format it really is (some files named .jpg are WebP inside), the size before and after, and a download button, and the whole batch comes back as one ZIP. JPG, AVIF, GIF and BMP files convert too, and you can switch the output to JPG or WebP when you need a smaller file.
Questions
How do I convert WebP to PNG?
Drop the WebP files on this page or tap Upload images. Each one is converted to PNG straight away. Download them one by one or tap Download all to get a ZIP.
Is this WebP to PNG converter free?
Yes. The conversion runs in your own browser, so there is nothing to pay for, no account to create and no watermark on the files.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The images are opened and converted on your device and never sent to PopNow. They only leave your device if you choose Send to.
Does converting WebP to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent backgrounds stay transparent. Only JPG has no transparency; there you choose a fill color.
Why is my PNG bigger than the WebP?
WebP photos are usually compressed with some loss, while PNG stores every pixel exactly. Choose JPG or a smaller maximum size if you need a lighter file.
How many images can I convert at once?
Up to 30 images per batch. When they are all done, Download all saves them in a single ZIP file with the same names and the new extension.
Why do images I save from Google end up as WebP?
Many websites serve WebP because it is smaller than JPG or PNG at the same quality. Your browser saves the file in the format the site sent, so you get a .webp even when you wanted a picture you can edit or print.
Is PNG or WebP better?
WebP is smaller and suits websites. PNG is accepted everywhere, is lossless and is the safer choice for editing, printing and sending to people. Keep the WebP for the web and convert a PNG copy for everything else.
Can I convert WebP to PNG on an iPhone or Android phone?
Yes. Open this page in your phone browser, tap Upload images and choose the files from Photos or Files. The PNGs download to your phone, and you can keep several in one ZIP.
Will the PNG lose quality compared with the WebP?
No. PNG stores every pixel exactly, so the copy looks the same as the WebP. It cannot bring back detail the WebP compression already removed, but it adds no new loss.
What happens to file names in the ZIP?
Each file keeps its original name with the new extension, for example holiday.webp becomes holiday.png. If two files would end up with the same name, the second one gets a number added.

Before and after: what changes
Converting a WebP to PNG changes the container, not the picture: the same pixels are written into a format that every editor, slide app, print shop and upload form understands, and nothing is added or taken away.
- What changes
- The file type and usually the file size. A WebP photo of 70 KB can become a PNG of 700 KB because PNG stores every pixel without loss. The list shows the exact before and after size of each file, plus the total for the batch.
- What stays the same
- Width, height, colors and transparency. A transparent sticker or logo stays see-through. If the WebP had a camera rotation tag, the picture is turned upright first, so the PNG looks the same as the original did in your browser.
- What to look at when you compare
- Drag the divider across an edge or a transparent area. With PNG both sides should look identical. If you switch to JPG, zoom into skies and text to see whether your quality setting is high enough, and check the fill color behind transparent parts.
Files that convert cleanly, and cases that need another approach
Works well
- Images saved from websites, online shops and search results that came down as .webp and will not open in an older editor.
- Logos, stickers and icons with a transparent background that must stay transparent for slides, documents or print.
- Screenshots and graphics with sharp text, where the lossless PNG keeps every edge crisp.
Avoid
- Animated WebP files: only the first frame is converted, so use the video to GIF tool if you need the animation.
- Very large photos when all you need is a small file. A PNG of a 12-megapixel photo can pass 20 MB; pick JPG or a smaller maximum size.
- Images that already look blurry or blocky. Changing the format does not add detail; AI upscale is the tool for that.
Step by step
- Add your filesDrop WebP files anywhere on the page, paste them with Ctrl or Cmd + V, press Upload images or pick from your library. Up to 30 at a time; three sample files are loaded so you can see how it works first.
- Check each rowEvery file shows its real format, the size before and after and a note when something special happened, such as a file named .jpg that is really WebP or a camera rotation that was applied.
- Pick the outputKeep PNG for lossless copies, or choose JPG or WebP to save space. For JPG, set the quality and the color used behind transparent areas; Maximum size shrinks very large images.
- DownloadUse the download icon on a row for a single file, or Download all to get one ZIP with every converted image, named like the originals with the new extension.
How the conversion works in your browser
- Reading the real format
- The first bytes of every file are checked for the signatures of WebP, PNG, JPEG, GIF, AVIF, HEIC, BMP and others. The file name is only a hint, which is how mislabeled downloads are caught.
- Decoding and rotation
- Your browser decodes the image with its own built-in decoder and applies the orientation stored in the file, so the pixels end up the right way up before they are saved again.
- Encoding
- The pixels are written out with the browser's PNG, JPEG or WebP encoder. Safari cannot write WebP yet, so that option is disabled there instead of silently giving you a PNG.
- Packing the ZIP
- The ZIP is assembled on your device from the finished files without compressing them again, which keeps it fast even with dozens of large images.
