Convert WebP to PNG — Keep Transparency Intact
Sometimes you need to edit an image in a tool that doesn't speak WebP. This converter gives you a lossless PNG — with full transparency preserved — in seconds, right in your browser. No upload, no quality loss, no account required.

The problem
WebP is great for delivery, but editing is a different story. Older versions of Photoshop don't support WebP natively. Many design tools, presentation apps like PowerPoint or Keynote, and even some newer tools have spotty or absent WebP support. If you need to open a WebP in any of these, PNG is the right format to convert to — it's lossless, it preserves transparency, and it opens everywhere.
The annoying part is finding a converter that doesn't require you to upload the image somewhere. If it's a logo or a client asset, you don't want it passing through unknown infrastructure just to change its file extension.
How it works
- Drop your WebP file onto the converter or click to select it.
- The conversion is essentially instant — PNG is a lossless format, so there's no quality setting to tune. What you see in the WebP is exactly what you get in the PNG.
- Transparency is fully preserved. If your WebP has a transparent background, the PNG will too.
- Click download. Your PNG is ready to open in whatever editor you need. Nothing left your browser.
Why I built it
I received a set of WebP logo files from a vendor and needed to drop them into a Keynote presentation. Keynote at the time either refused them or rendered them incorrectly. Converting to PNG was the obvious fix, but I didn't want to feed someone else's brand assets to a random converter. Building a client-side tool took less time than finding one I trusted.
WebP vs PNG for editing workflows
| Feature | WebP | PNG |
|---|---|---|
| Lossless compression | Yes | Yes |
| Transparency (alpha) | Yes | Yes |
| Editor support | Growing, not universal | Universal |
| File size | Smaller | Larger |
| Safe for round-trip editing | Yes (lossless mode) | Yes |
| Presentation software support | Inconsistent | Reliable |
| Best use case | Web delivery | Editing, archiving, compatibility |
The file size increase going from WebP to PNG is the expected trade-off — PNG stores every pixel without lossy compression. For editing purposes, that's exactly what you want. Use WebP when delivering to a browser; use PNG when the image is going into a tool or workflow.
