To convert WebP to PNG, drop your .webp files into the box above and click Convert. PNG is lossless, so there is no quality setting, and any transparent areas in the WebP are preserved. Each image is saved under its original name with a .png extension, and you can download them individually or as a single ZIP file.
How to use the WebP to PNG tool
- 1
Drop your WebP images
Drag .webp files into the drop area or click to select them — up to 50 per run, each up to 50 MB.
- 2
Nothing to configure
PNG output is lossless and keeps transparency, so there are no quality or background options for this conversion.
- 3
Convert
Click Convert. Your browser decodes each WebP and writes it out as a PNG on your device.
- 4
Download
Save the PNG files one at a time or download them together in a ZIP.
Why do websites use WebP, and why convert it back?
WebP is an image format developed by Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression as well as transparency. Websites like it because it usually produces smaller files than JPG or PNG at similar visual quality, which makes pages load faster. That is why right-clicking and saving an image from many sites now gives you a .webp file instead of the JPG or PNG you expected.
Outside the browser, support is less consistent. Some older image editors, office software, print services, upload forms and messaging tools still refuse WebP or treat it oddly. Converting to PNG gives you a file that virtually every program understands.
WebP to PNG or WebP to JPG?
Choose PNG when the image has transparency, such as a logo, icon, sticker or product cut-out, or when you intend to edit it further. PNG keeps the alpha channel exactly as it was in the WebP and does not add another round of lossy compression, so the edges of a logo stay clean.
The downside is size. If the WebP was a lossy photo, the PNG version will typically be much larger, because PNG records every pixel losslessly. For ordinary photos you just want to share or upload, WebP to JPG is usually the more practical choice. For graphics, UI elements and anything you will keep working on, PNG is the safer one.
Animated WebP files are a special case: only the first frame is converted, so the result is a still PNG. If you need the animation, keep the original WebP.
Converting downloaded images without another upload
If you saved images from the web for a mood board, a presentation or a client draft, you probably do not want them passing through yet another third-party server just to change their format. With Krawly, the WebP files are decoded by your own browser and written back out as PNG in the same tab.
No copy is sent to Krawly's servers or stored anywhere, so you can convert work-in-progress assets and unpublished designs without wondering where they ended up. Remember that converting a file does not change who owns it: respect the copyright of images you download from other sites.
Tips for the best results
- Use PNG for logos, icons and screenshots saved as WebP; use JPG for plain photos to keep file sizes down.
- Check animated WebPs before converting — only the first frame becomes a PNG.
- If your PNG is unexpectedly large, the source was probably a lossy photo; WebP to JPG will give a smaller file.
- Converting many images at once? Use the ZIP download to keep them in one place.
Frequently asked questions
Does WebP to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels in your WebP are kept exactly as they are. No background colour is added, which makes this the right conversion for logos, icons and cut-out images.
Will I lose quality converting WebP to PNG?
No further quality is lost. PNG is lossless, so the PNG is a pixel-for-pixel copy of what the WebP decoded to. If the WebP itself was lossy, its existing compression artefacts remain, because conversion cannot recover discarded detail.
How do I save WebP as PNG on Windows or Mac?
Many sites deliver images as WebP, so right-click saving gives you a .webp file. Open this page in a current browser on Windows, Mac or a phone, drop the WebP files in, click Convert and download the PNGs. There is no software to install, and the PNGs open in practically any image program.
Why is the PNG larger than the WebP?
WebP is often lossy and very efficient, while PNG stores every pixel without loss. For photographs that can make the PNG several times bigger. For simple graphics the difference is usually smaller.
Can I convert animated WebP files?
Only the first frame is converted, so an animated WebP becomes a still PNG image. The converter does not create animated PNGs or GIFs. If you need to keep the motion, hold on to the original WebP file.
Are my WebP files uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser using its own image decoder and canvas encoder. Your files never reach Krawly's servers and nothing is stored, so images saved from websites or client drafts stay on your machine. Closing the tab clears everything.
How many WebP files can I convert at once?
Up to 50 files per run, each up to 50 MB. All of them are converted in one go, and you can download every PNG individually or get all of them in one ZIP archive with the original file names.
Private by design. Every Krawly converter runs inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files are not uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — when you close the tab, they are gone.
