WebP to PNG Converter: Free & Private
You need a downloaded WebP to open in an editor, with transparency intact. Convert it here, in your browser, with nothing uploaded anywhere.
Why convert WebP to PNG?
PNG is the safest possible landing place for a WebP: universally supported, lossless from here on, and it keeps the alpha channel that JPG would destroy. If a WebP has been refused by a design tool, a document template, or an older operating system, PNG is the format that will be accepted without argument.
The catch worth knowing about
The WebP you started with was probably lossy, and PNG cannot recover what that discarded. You are locking in the current quality rather than restoring the original, and the PNG will be considerably larger despite containing no more detail.
One tip before you start
If the destination accepts JPG and there is no transparency to protect, JPG will give you a far smaller file for the same visible result.
