Why convert WebP to PNG
Images saved from websites often arrive as WebP. Older image editors, some office programs and several upload forms do not accept WebP, while PNG is accepted almost everywhere.
Typical situations
- Saving a logo or icon from a website in a format your image editor opens
- Keeping a sticker or cutout with its transparent background intact
- Preparing an image for a slide deck or document that does not accept WebP
What to watch for
If the WebP has transparency, the PNG keeps it. If the file is an animated WebP, only the first frame is converted, because PNG holds a single still image. Converting a lossy WebP to PNG gives a lossless file, but it cannot bring back detail already lost.
Tips for better results
- Use PNG when the picture has sharp edges, text or transparency, and JPG when it is a photograph.
- An animated WebP gives you only its first frame, so use a dedicated GIF or video tool for animations.
- The PNG is lossless relative to the decoded WebP, so you can open and save it again without further damage.

Frequently asked questions
Does WebP to PNG keep the transparent background?
Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent pixels in the WebP stay transparent in the result.

Use the converter above on either system, or follow the built in steps for Paint on Windows and Preview on a Mac described above.
How do I save a WebP image as PNG with a transparent background?
Convert it here. The transparent pixels are kept, so the PNG can be placed on any background.
Can I convert many WebP files to PNG at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like and download all the PNG files in one ZIP.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using your own device, so the files are not sent to Convert In Place or anyone else. See how it works for a way to check this yourself.
Is there a limit on file size or number of files?
You can use it as often as you like. One batch holds up to 200 files, and each file can be up to 200 MB. Large files and long batches depend on the memory of your device, and phones handle less than computers.
