WebP to PNG

Why convert WebP to PNG?

The main difference: WebP is a lossy or lossless format, while PNG is a lossless format. PNG is supported almost everywhere; WebP isn't.

Works on every device

Plenty of apps and websites can't read WebP (all modern browsers; some older apps and upload forms don't accept it). A PNG copy opens on any phone, tablet, computer or browser, so you can view, upload or send the picture without hunting for special software.

Transparent areas stay transparent

WebP and PNG both handle transparency, so anything see-through in the original is still see-through after conversion.

Crisp edges for editing and print

PNG keeps sharp lines and text intact, which makes it the better choice for graphics, screenshots and anything you plan to print.

What is a WebP file?

WebP is an image format Google introduced in 2010 to make websites load faster. It can compress photos lossily like JPG, or graphics losslessly like PNG - usually with 25-35% smaller files - and it supports transparency and animation too.

That's why so many images you save from websites, including Google Images, arrive as .webp files. Browsers love them; older software and many upload forms still don't.

How to open a WebP file

Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display WebP directly - drag the file into a browser window. Windows 10/11 Photos and Paint and Mac Preview (Big Sur and later) open it as well. If an app or website rejects it, convert it to JPG or PNG.

What is a PNG file?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It stores every pixel exactly, so text, logos and sharp edges stay perfectly crisp however often you save the file.

PNG supports full transparency, which makes it the standard format for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics placed on top of other designs. For photos, though, PNG files are several times larger than JPG.

How to open a PNG file

PNG opens everywhere: Windows Photos, Mac Preview, iPhone and Android galleries and every web browser. Editors like Photoshop, GIMP, Figma and Canva keep the transparency intact.
