About WebP
WebP is an image format released by Google in 2010. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation.
Websites use it to serve images smaller than the equivalent JPEG or PNG; all current browsers display it.
Some older desktop software and many print services still do not accept WebP files.
Convert WebP to PNG online free, no account required — PNG is a lossless image format with transparency.
Change WebP to PNG without losing quality — convert WebP to PNG free in your browser.
Why won't the program I've used for years open my WebP images? The format only spread after 2020, so older software and some desktop apps still lack support — converting to JPG or PNG keeps them usable everywhere.
About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a free replacement for GIF. It supports full colour and an alpha channel for transparency.
Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and any image with text or sharp edges.
For photos a PNG is several times larger than a JPEG, and plain PNG has no animation (that is APNG).
Why convert an image to PNG? When sharp lines, text and transparency matter more than file size: screenshots and logos stay pixel-perfect.
What changes when you convert WebP to PNG
- The WebP picture is re-encoded as PNG at the default quality settings, so it looks close to the original but is not bit-identical.
- If the WebP is animated, only its first frame is converted to PNG.
