How to convert WebP to PNG with filetidy

  1. 1

    Drag your WebP files onto the drop zone, or click it to choose them. You can add as many as you like in one go.

  2. 2

    Choose what happens to metadata: “Remove location” is selected by default, or you can keep all metadata or remove all of it. PNG output is lossless, so there is no quality setting to worry about.

  3. 3

    Click Convert. Each image is decoded and re-encoded on your own device; nothing is uploaded.

  4. 4

    Download the PNGs one by one, or use “Download all (.zip)” to get every file in a single archive.

What is a WebP file?

WebP is an image format Google introduced in 2010 to make web pages lighter. One format covers both photos (a lossy mode derived from the VP8 video codec) and graphics (a separate lossless mode), and both modes can carry an alpha channel for transparency.

Because it saves bandwidth, many websites and image services deliver WebP automatically to browsers that support it. That's why an image you save from a web page often ends up as .webp, even when the site looked like it was showing a PNG or JPG.

Browsers handle WebP well, but plenty of other software is less consistent: older image editors, some office and print tools, and various upload forms. Converting to PNG gives you a file that almost everything can open, without throwing away detail or transparency.

Other ways to do it

Windows

On Windows: open in Paint and save as PNG

  1. Right-click the .webp file and choose Open with > Paint.
  2. Go to File > Save as and choose PNG.
  3. Pick a folder and a name, then click Save.

If Paint can't open the file, install the free WebP Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store. Paint does not always preserve transparent areas, so check logos and stickers after saving.

Mac

On Mac: export from Preview or use a Quick Action

  1. Open the WebP file in Preview.
  2. Choose File > Export.
  3. Set Format to PNG, keep Alpha checked if the image has a transparent background, and click Save.
  4. For several files at once (macOS Monterey or later): select them in Finder, right-click, choose Quick Actions > Convert Image and pick PNG.

iPhone & iPad

On iPhone: build a Convert Image shortcut

  1. Open the Shortcuts app and create a new shortcut.
  2. Add the Select Photos action, or set the shortcut to receive images from the Share Sheet.
  3. Add the Convert Image action and set the format to PNG.
  4. Add Save to Photo Album or Save File, then run the shortcut.

If you don't want to build a shortcut, open this page in Safari and convert the files here instead.

Android

On Android: convert in your browser

  1. Most Android phones don't include an image format converter, so open this page in Chrome or another browser.
  2. Tap the drop zone and pick your WebP files from your gallery or the Files app.
  3. Tap Convert, then download each PNG or use “Download all (.zip)”.
  4. Find the results in your Downloads folder.

The conversion runs on the phone itself, so it's fine to use with images you'd rather not upload anywhere.

WebP vs PNG: when PNG is the better choice

PNG is lossless: every pixel is stored exactly. When you convert WebP to PNG, the decoded pixels are written to PNG without any further loss. If the WebP was lossy, the PNG keeps it exactly as it looks now. It can't bring back detail the WebP compression already removed, but it won't add new artifacts either.

That makes PNG the right target for anything you plan to edit or reuse: logos, icons, stickers, cut-out product shots, UI screenshots and diagrams. Transparent and semi-transparent edges come through intact, and you can re-save the PNG as often as you like without it degrading.

The trade-off is size. A PNG is usually larger than the WebP it came from, and for photos it can be several times larger. If the image is a photo and you only need it to open everywhere or pass an upload form, converting WebP to JPG gives a much smaller file. If you need transparency or plan to edit, stay with PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my image save as .webp instead of PNG?

Many websites deliver images as WebP to browsers that support it, whatever format was originally uploaded. When you right-click and save, you get the file the browser actually received. Converting it to PNG gives you a file your other apps can open.

Will converting WebP to PNG keep the transparent background?

Yes. PNG supports a full alpha channel, and the converter keeps transparent and semi-transparent pixels exactly as they are in the WebP. That is the main reason to choose PNG over JPG for logos, stickers and cut-out images.

Does converting WebP to PNG lose quality?

No. PNG output is lossless, so the PNG looks identical to the WebP. If the WebP itself was saved with lossy compression, any softness or artifacts already in it stay; no converter can add that detail back.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?

WebP, especially in lossy mode, compresses far more aggressively than PNG's lossless compression. Photos show the biggest difference, flat graphics much less. If file size matters more than transparency or editing, convert to JPG instead.

What happens with animated WebP files?

Only the first frame of an animated WebP is converted. The result is a single still PNG; the other frames and the animation timing are not kept.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Decoding and encoding happen in your browser, in a background worker on your own device. The files never leave your computer or phone, and there is no account, no watermark and no file-count or size limit set by the site.

How do I convert many WebP files at once?

Drop them all into the converter together. Each file is converted in turn, and you can download them individually or click “Download all (.zip)” to get one archive with every PNG.
