How to Convert WebP to PNG?

Turn your web-optimized WebP images into high-quality, editable PNG files.

1

Upload WebP Files

Drag & drop your .webp images directly into the converter. We handle single or multiple files effortlessly.

2

Instant Conversion

Our engine automatically decodes the WebP format and reconstructs it as a lossless PNG.

3

Download PNG

Download your new PNG files instantly. They are ready for editing, printing, or archiving.

Pro Tip: Why PNG?

While WebP is great for loading speed, PNG is the gold standard for editing. Converting to PNG ensures you can use your image in any software without compatibility issues and without losing quality in future edits.

Engineering Philosophy

Restore the
Original Quality.

WebP is built for the web—it's compressed for speed. But sometimes you need the raw, unadulterated quality of a PNG for editing or printing.

Our conversion engine decodes the complex prediction blocks of WebP and faithfully reconstructs the full pixel data into the lossless PNG format. We essentially "unpack" the compressed web data into a format that is pixel-perfect and ready for professional use.

As always, this process happens in our "Verify & Vanish" secure environment. Your data is processed and deleted instantly.

The Case for WebP to PNG

WebP has taken over the web due to its incredible compression capabilities. It saves bandwidth and makes pages load faster. However, this efficiency comes at a cost: compatibility and editability.

Many older image editors and operating systems still struggle to display WebP files correctly. Furthermore, if you plan to edit the image, PNG is often a better intermediate format because it is widely supported and always lossless.

Converting from WebP to PNG allows you to "break out" of the web ecosystem and use your images in desktop publishing, professional photo editing, and more.

How Our Engine Works

Unlike simple transcoders, our RiseConvert Engine uses a deep decoding process.

  • Predictive Decoding: WebP uses predictive coding to save space. We fully expand these predictions to recover the actual pixel values.
  • Alpha Channel Preservation: Both WebP and PNG support transparency. We ensure that the alpha channel (transparency map) is perfectly translated from the WebP container to the PNG format, so your cutouts remain cutouts.
  • Color Profile Integrity: If your WebP has an embedded ICC profile, we attempt to preserve it in the PNG output to maintain color accuracy.

Glossary

Lossless

Compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data.

Artifacts

Visible defects in an image, often caused by lossy compression. PNG conversion prevents adding new ones.

Alpha Channel

A color component that represents the degree of transparency (or opacity) of a pixel.

Container

The file format structure (like RIFF for WebP) that holds the image data.
