WebP to PNG: Quick Answer
WebP to PNG means converting a WebP image into the PNG format so it’s easier to edit, keep transparency, or use in apps and workflows that don’t fully support WebP.
Why convert WebP to PNG?
- Editing: PNG is supported almost everywhere (Photoshop, Canva, many desktop tools, print shops, and older apps).
- Transparency: PNG is a go-to format for transparent backgrounds (logos, overlays, icons).
- Compatibility: Some platforms, tools, and devices still treat WebP inconsistently.
- Workflow: PNG is a common “working” format before exporting to WebP/JPG for final delivery.

Does converting WebP to PNG improve image quality?
No. Converting formats does not restore detail lost in compression. If the WebP was saved with lossy compression, the PNG will preserve what’s there, but it won’t bring back missing sharpness or detail.
When you should NOT convert WebP to PNG
- For smaller website images: WebP is usually smaller than PNG for photos and many graphics.
- When you don’t need transparency: WebP (or JPG) is often better for delivery and performance.
- When the WebP is already heavily compressed: PNG won’t “fix” artifacts—it will just store them.
WebP vs PNG
- WebP: Designed for smaller file sizes on the web. Great for speed and performance.
- PNG: Great for editing and transparency, but file sizes can be larger.
Common issues
My PNG file is bigger
That’s normal. PNG is commonly lossless and often larger than WebP, especially for photos. If your goal is a smaller file, try converting PNG back to WebP after editing.
My PNG doesn’t look better
Also normal. Format conversion doesn’t increase quality. If you need a cleaner source, you’ll need a higher-quality original WebP (or the original PNG/JPG used to create it).
Transparency didn’t appear
PNG will only be transparent if the original WebP had transparency. If the WebP had a solid background, the PNG will keep that background.
WebP support note
WebP is widely supported in modern browsers, but some older software still doesn’t handle it well. Google’s WebP documentation explains the format and its features here:
WebP Image Format (Google Developers).
Best use cases
- Logos and icons that need transparent backgrounds
- Design edits in tools that don’t support WebP well
- Print workflows where PNG is accepted more consistently
- Sharing files with people using older devices or software
