WebP is what browsers now save images as, and it is still what a surprising amount of other software refuses to open — older Photoshop versions, some print workflows, plenty of marketplace uploaders. This free converter decodes the WebP in your browser and writes a PNG, keeping transparency and, for a lossless WebP, every pixel exactly as it was. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.

Lossless, keeps transparency. The safe default for artwork.

How to use it
- Check the output is set to PNG — This page opens with the output format already set to PNG, so there is nothing to configure if that is what you came for. If you actually wanted something else, change it here — the same page converts to PNG, JPG, WebP, TIFF and PDF.
- Add your WebP files — Drag them onto the drop area or click to choose them — one file, or up to thirty at once. They are read in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, there is no queue and no account is needed.
- Let it convert — There is no Convert button — conversion starts as soon as a file is added, and the results panel shows the total size going in and coming out so you can see what the change cost or saved.
- Download the results — Each converted file has its own download link. If you converted several, "Download all as ZIP" saves the whole set in one action.
The problem this solves
You save an image from a browser, it lands as a .webp, and then nothing downstream will take it. The file is fine; the ecosystem outside the browser simply has not caught up.
What it does
Transparency preserved
WebP's alpha channel maps straight onto PNG's, so cut-outs stay cut out rather than arriving on a white rectangle.
Lossless where it can be
A lossless WebP converts to PNG with no change at all. A lossy WebP keeps whatever it already had — the compression it was saved with cannot be reversed by any tool.
PNG or JPG
Switch the output on this page if you want a JPG instead, which is usually the better choice when the source is a photograph rather than a graphic.
Whole folders at once
Drop in up to thirty files and every one is converted. Multiple outputs download together as a ZIP, so a set of listing images is one action rather than thirty.
Nothing is uploaded
The conversion runs in your browser using the same image pipeline the browser uses to show you a photo. Your file never reaches a server, there is no queue, and there is no account to make. It also means a large file is limited by your own machine's memory rather than by an upload cap.
Where it lives in PSDmate
Free and open on this page. Inside PSDmate, any common image format can be used as artwork for bulk mockup rendering.
Questions
Why does everything save as WebP now?
Because it is roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, and unlike JPG it supports transparency and animation. Browsers adopted it quickly; desktop software did not.
Does converting WebP to PNG improve quality?
No. If the WebP was saved lossily, that loss is permanent. Converting gives you a compatible, lossless container — not a better image.
Why is the PNG bigger than the WebP?
That is WebP working as intended. It is a more modern compressor, so a smaller file for the same picture is exactly the point.
Can I go the other way, PNG to WebP?
Yes — pick WebP as the output format on this page. It is a good way to shrink listing images that need transparency.
