This tool decodes a WEBP image using your browser's built-in WEBP support, draws it onto an HTML canvas, and re-encodes that canvas as a PNG — no server involved. It exists because a lot of the web now serves WEBP by default to save bandwidth, but plenty of software people still use daily — older versions of Word, some PDF and design tools, certain printers and point-of-sale systems — either can't open a .webp file or handles it unreliably. Converting once to PNG, a format supported everywhere, sidesteps that.
Two things about this specific page are worth knowing before you use it. First, the Quality slider you'll see has no effect on the output: PNG is a lossless format and the code path that builds it here doesn't apply a quality value at all, so moving the slider changes nothing about the downloaded file. Second, the Background Color setting always paints the canvas with that color before drawing your image on top, which means any transparent areas in the source WEBP become that solid color in the PNG — the tool does not preserve WEBP transparency, even though PNG itself supports it.
How it works
1. Drop or browse your WEBPs
Drag one or more .webp files onto the upload area, or click it to browse. Each file is capped at 20 MB.
2. Pick a background color
Use the color swatch to choose what fills any transparent areas of your WEBP — it defaults to white.
3. Convert to PNG
Press "Convert N WEBPs to PNG." Each image is decoded, composited over your chosen background, and encoded, one after another.
4. Download your PNGs
Download a single result directly, or press "Download All" to get every converted image zipped into one file.
When you'd use it
Inserting a web image into a document
A photo or graphic saved from a website is often WEBP. Converting it to PNG first means a word processor or slide tool that balks at WEBP will accept it without complaint.
A submission portal that only lists PNG or JPG
Some upload forms restrict the file types they'll accept and simply don't list WEBP as an option. Converting ahead of time avoids a rejected upload.
Opening a WEBP on older software
Photo viewers, printers, and some design tools bundled with older operating systems predate WEBP entirely. A PNG opens on all of them.
Flattening a WEBP graphic onto a solid color for print or email
If you're placing a WEBP with transparent areas into a context that needs a solid backdrop — a printed flyer, an email signature — choosing the background color here bakes that color in during conversion instead of you doing it manually afterward.
The Quality slider doesn't apply here
The slider is visible whenever you have files loaded, but the conversion step that builds the PNG never reads its value — canvas encoding for PNG in this tool takes no quality parameter, because PNG doesn't compress lossily the way JPG or WEBP do. Whatever position you leave the slider in, the exported PNG is identical. If you're trying to trade file size for quality, that control does something on this site's JPG and WEBP converters, but not on this one.
What happens to transparency
Before your WEBP is drawn, the whole canvas is filled with your chosen background color — not just the areas that end up transparent. Opaque pixels from your WEBP are unaffected since they're drawn on top and cover the fill completely, but any pixel that was transparent in the source image now shows the background color instead, fully opaque. The result is a PNG with no alpha channel information left in it at all, regardless of which color you pick. If you need the transparency itself to carry over, TryDocsy's Universal Image Converter can convert the same WEBP to PNG on a transparent canvas instead of a filled one.
Batch conversion and file size
Uploading several WEBP files converts them in sequence and offers a single ZIP download once they're all done, so you don't need to fetch each one separately. Expect the PNG files to usually come out larger than their WEBP originals of the same picture — WEBP's own compression is generally more space-efficient than PNG's for photographic content, so converting between them tends to grow the file even though nothing about the visual quality changes.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Quality slider change my PNG?
No. PNG is lossless and this converter's PNG encoding step doesn't take a quality value at all, so every position of the slider produces the exact same file.
Will a transparent WEBP stay transparent as a PNG?
Not with this page — it fills the whole canvas with your chosen background color before drawing the image, so transparent areas become that solid color. Use the Universal Image Converter if you need the alpha channel preserved.
Why is my converted PNG bigger than the original WEBP?
WEBP's compression is usually more space-efficient than PNG's, especially for photos, so converting the same image to PNG typically increases the file size even though the visible quality is unchanged.
Can I convert multiple WEBP files in one go?
Yes. Drop as many as you like; they convert one after another and you can download them individually or as a single ZIP.
What happens if I drop a file that isn't a WEBP?
It's quietly skipped and never added to your file list — there's no error message, so if a file seems to have vanished after dropping it, check that it was actually a .webp.
How large a WEBP file can I upload?
The uploader accepts files up to 20 MB each.
