WebP → PNG
Convert WebP to PNG
PNG is the right destination when the image has a transparent background, or when it is going to be edited again. Nothing is thrown away and the transparency survives.

How it works
When PNG is the right choice
Pick PNG over JPG in two situations. The first is transparency: WebP can carry an alpha channel, and so can PNG, so a cut-out logo or a screenshot with a transparent corner comes through intact. Converting the same file to JPG would flatten that transparency to white.
The second is editing. PNG is lossless, so re-saving it does not degrade it. If the image is heading into a design tool and will be exported again later, starting from PNG means you are not stacking one lossy pass on another.
Expect a larger file
A PNG of the same picture is usually several times larger than the WebP was. That is the cost of storing every pixel exactly rather than approximating, and it is not a fault in the conversion. If size matters more than exactness, JPG is the better destination.
Nothing to download
Your browser already decodes WebP, so this page needs no extra decoder and starts working immediately. The conversion happens on your device, and no part of your image is transmitted anywhere.
Questions
Does the transparency survive?
Yes. If the WebP carries an alpha channel, the PNG keeps it. This is the main reason to choose PNG over JPG here.
Is there any quality loss?
None in the PNG itself — it is a lossless format, which is why this page has no quality slider. Anything the original WebP had already discarded is gone for good, though; converting cannot restore it.
Why is the PNG so much bigger?
PNG stores every pixel exactly instead of approximating. Photographs contain a great deal of fine detail that compresses badly under lossless rules, so several times the original size is normal.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Conversion runs in your browser on your own device. There is no server involved and nothing to delete afterwards.
