Does WebP to PNG lose quality?

No, if you set quality to 100. The output is truecolour lossless PNG with every decoded pixel preserved exactly (1051.8 KB from our reference, the honest price of bit-exact). At Auto, we palette-optimise the PNG instead: visually faithful, a fraction of the size, and why our number beats naive converters.

Does the transparency survive?

Fully. WebP alpha maps straight onto PNG alpha, including semi-transparent pixels like soft shadows and anti-aliased edges. Check any edge against the checkerboard in the compare view. PNG is the safest transparency container in existence.

Will the PNG be much bigger than the WebP?

Usually yes. PNG stores pixels losslessly and WebP compresses them cleverly, so photographic WebPs often inflate several times over. Our palette-aware encoder softens the blow: the 234.9 KB reference WebP measured 188.8 KB as our optimised PNG, where naive converters produce far larger files.

Why convert to PNG instead of JPG?

Editing and transparency. PNG round-trips through Photoshop, GIMP, Figma and Office without quality loss and keeps alpha. JPG is smaller but lossy, and it flattens transparency. Sharing a photo? JPG. Editing anything, or keeping a cutout? PNG.

How do I convert WebP to PNG on Windows or Mac?

Windows: Paint opens WebP and saves as PNG, one file at a time. Mac: Preview exports to PNG, or Finder's Quick Action handles small selections. Neither batches properly or shows sizes. Our tool takes 50 files in one drop and returns one ZIP with names preserved.

Can I batch convert WebP to PNG?

Yes, up to 50 per run. You get one ZIP out with filenames preserved, free, with no signup, no watermark and a 300-image daily allowance. Each row shows the measured output size, so you see exactly what the PNG exit costs in bytes before you commit.

What about animated WebP files?

We decline animated inputs with a clear message rather than silently flattening them to frame one. Exporting a single frame and calling it converted would lose your animation without telling you. Keep animated WebP as-is for browsers, or use video for everything else.

Can I make the PNG smaller afterwards?

Yes. Run the output through Compress PNG. It quantizes the palette while keeping alpha, and often claws back most of the inflation on graphics and screenshots. For photos, the honest answer is that PNG is the wrong final format. Use it as an editing stop, not a destination.

Does the conversion keep the original dimensions and colours?

Yes. We preserve pixel dimensions exactly, and the colours are the decoded WebP's colours: bit-exact at quality 100, palette-optimised at Auto. We never resize, sharpen or silently "enhance". One nuance: metadata stripping removes colour profiles, so tick Keep EXIF if your source is wide-gamut and exact colour matters.

Why do I even have WebP files?

Websites serve WebP to save bandwidth, and right-click-save hands you whatever the site served. Editors are the last major hold-outs on opening it. That is exactly why this conversion exists: one pass turns the saved file into something every tool on your machine accepts.

What happens to my files?

We keep nothing. We process your files, then wipe them automatically. We never archive them or use them for anything else. We strip metadata from outputs by default, and you need no account.

Why PNG is the editing exit (and JPG isn't)

PNG is the destination for editing. At quality 100 we write the decoded WebP pixel-for-pixel: truecolour lossless, alpha channel intact. At Auto we palette-optimise it for size. Either way, PNG is the correct format when the image's next stop is an editor like Photoshop, GIMP, Figma or PowerPoint. Every subsequent save from a lossless PNG starts from perfect pixels instead of stacking lossy generations. Sharing rather than editing? The WebP to JPG exit is smaller and opens everywhere.

The size cost, measured: inflation is real, ours is smaller

Nobody else publishing on this conversion mentions it: truecolour lossless PNG from a compressed WebP grows the file dramatically. Our 234.9 KB reference became 1051.8 KB. Our Auto mode palette-optimises instead and landed below the source:

Output	Size	Pixels
PNG (quality 100)	1051.8 KB	bit-exact truecolour
PNG (Auto)	188.8 KB	palette-optimised
JPG (Auto)	73.6 KB	lossy
JPG (quality 85)	104.9 KB	lossy

Same source WebP, four exits. Bit-exact pixels are what the quality-100 row's bytes buy. The palette row is the everyday default.

How these numbers are measured: every byte count on this page is the size of the actual encoded file our engine produced from the named source image. Those are the same bytes you would download, not an estimate or a best case. Rerun any of them yourself: drop your own file into the tool above and the meter reports your real result.

Transparency: the safest hands it can be in

WebP alpha converts to PNG alpha without loss of any kind: hard edges, feathering, semi-transparent drop shadows. PNG has carried transparency for thirty years, and every editor, browser and office suite honours it. This is the format you convert to when you must not gamble with the transparency. The compare view's checkerboard makes it verifiable. Drag the wipe across a cutout's edge and look for fringing. There is none to find.

Big PNG? Chain it straight into Compress PNG

The two-step nobody else offers as a workflow: convert here, then run heavy outputs through Compress PNG. Palette quantization typically recovers most of the inflation on screenshots and graphics while keeping full alpha. For photographs the honest routing is different. PNG is a fine editing stop but a poor final home. When the edits are done, export to WebP, AVIF or JPG for delivery.

When PNG is the wrong exit

Just sharing a photo? WebP to JPG: a fraction of the size, and it opens in every app and email client ever made.
Staying on the web? Keep the WebP. Browsers all render it, and PNG only adds bytes.
Animated WebP? We decline rather than flatten it to one frame. Keep the animation, or capture the frame you actually want.
