WebP to PNG.
Because it wouldn't open.

Why you keep ending up with .webp files

WebP exists because it makes pages load faster. It compresses better than JPG and PNG at similar quality, so many sites now serve every image that way and never offer the original. Right-click, save image, and a .webp lands in your downloads folder.

Browsers all handle it fine. The friction starts everywhere else: older versions of Photoshop and Illustrator that predate native WebP support, print and merch upload forms, some CMS and marketplace uploaders, and internal tools written back when PNG and JPG were the only two answers. Converting to PNG is the fastest way out, because PNG is the format nothing rejects.

Transparency survives the trip. If the WebP has an alpha channel - a logo, an icon, a cutout with a soft shadow - the PNG keeps it, edges and partial transparency included. Drop a whole folder in at once and Download all hands the lot back as a zip. Images are processed in memory and never stored.

Lossless or Compressed

With PNG selected you get a toggle in the toolbar. Lossless is the default here and keeps every single pixel. Compressed quantises the image down to a colour palette instead, giving a much smaller file. That is a good trade for logos, screenshots and flat graphics, where a limited palette is all the image ever used. On a photograph it visibly bands smooth gradients like skies and skin, so leave it on Lossless for anything photographic.

Common questions

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?

Because that is what you are buying. WebP throws away data to get small; lossless PNG stores every pixel it is given, so the result is often several times the size of the file you started with. That is the price of compatibility, and it does not mean the image got better - detail WebP discarded when it was first encoded is gone for good.

Is the PNG identical to the WebP?

On Lossless, yes - every pixel of the WebP is carried across exactly as it is. Use the compare slider to zoom in and check any edge before you ship it.

I need the PNG smaller than that.

Try Compressed mode, or set a max width and height so the image is scaled before encoding; the PNG compressor covers this in more depth. If you do not need PNG specifically, keeping WebP and running it through the WebP compressor will always give you a smaller result.

Does it work on animated WebP?

No. Animated WebP is rejected with a message rather than being silently reduced to a single frame. Still images only.

Can I convert a batch of them at once?

Yes. Drop as many as you like, several convert at a time, and you can rename on export with {name} and {index} tokens. Nothing to install, no signup, no watermark.
