Free WebP to PNG converter online
Need a PNG instead of a WebP? This free converter turns WebP files into PNG images right in your browser. Add as many files as you like, adjust the settings and download the results individually or together as a ZIP.
WebP is a modern format created by Google for the web. It is typically 25 to 35 percent smaller than an equivalent JPG and supports transparency and animation, which is why so many websites now serve it. The downside is compatibility: older versions of Photoshop, Windows Photo Viewer, many printers and lots of upload forms still cannot open WebP files.
PNG is a lossless format: it never throws image data away, so text and sharp edges stay crisp and it supports full transparency. The trade-off is file size: a photo saved as PNG is often 5 to 10 times bigger than the same photo as JPG. PNG files can hold hidden text chunks with software names, authors and dates.
