WebP comes in two flavors — lossy VP8 and lossless VP8L — and both support an alpha channel, which is why logos and UI graphics spread as .webp files. PNG is the same kind of thing in a universally readable package: lossless DEFLATE compression with full transparency. This converter decodes the WebP and writes a PNG in your browser, preserving the alpha channel exactly, so the file works in every editor and office suite.

How to convert WebP to PNG
Drop your .webp file onto the converter above (click to browse instead if you prefer).
The tool sniffs the file header for the RIFF/WEBP marker to confirm the format.
Click Convert — the image is decoded and re-encoded as PNG locally.
No quality choice is needed: PNG is lossless, so the pixels come through exactly.
Download the .png. Transparency is preserved, ready for editors and documents.
Frequently asked questions
Will the transparent background survive the conversion?
Yes. Both WebP and PNG carry a full 8-bit alpha channel, so transparency transfers pixel-for-pixel. This is exactly why PNG — not JPG — is the right target for WebP graphics with transparency.
Is WebP to PNG conversion lossless?
The PNG encode itself is lossless. If the source WebP was a lossy VP8 file, its existing compression artifacts stay (nothing can undo those), but no new ones are added.
Can I convert an animated WebP?
The converter outputs the first frame as a static PNG — PNG has no animation in its base form. Animated content needs a video or APNG workflow, which this tool doesn't cover.
Why does my downloaded image have a .webp extension my app rejects?
Servers pick WebP via content negotiation regardless of the filename in the URL. After converting here, rename-free .png files open in anything — Word, PowerPoint, GIMP, Preview.
