UlvixorWebP to PNG Converter
Upload a WebP image and convert it to PNG with a single click, directly in your browser using canvas. PNG is the most widely compatible format with transparency, handy when a program or platform doesn't recognize WebP. The file is never uploaded to any server.
How it works
- Select a .webp image from your device using the file picker.
- The conversion starts automatically as soon as you select the file.
- The image, including its transparency if it has any, is drawn onto a hidden <canvas> and re-encoded as PNG with canvas.toBlob().
- A preview of the result is shown along with its dimensions and file size.
- Download the PNG file with a single click.
Use cases
- Open WebP images in old editors or programs that don't support that format.
- Upload images with transparency to platforms, CMSs, or forms that only accept PNG.
- Prepare WebP icons or logos downloaded from the web for use in presentations or documents.
- Share WebP images with people whose software doesn't recognize that format.

Common mistakes
- Expecting the resulting PNG to be lighter than the original WebP.PNG uses lossless compression, so it almost always produces a heavier file than the equivalent WebP, even though the visual quality and transparency are preserved the same.
- Converting an animated WebP expecting to get an animated PNG.Standard PNG doesn't support animation. This tool always generates a static PNG using the frame the browser displays when loading the image.
- Opening a .webp file directly in software that doesn't recognize it without converting it first.Some editors and viewers, especially older versions, can't open WebP. Converting to PNG with this tool solves the compatibility problem instantly.
Frequently asked questions
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser with canvas. The original file is never sent to a server.
Yes. Both WebP and PNG support an alpha channel, so the transparent areas of the original file stay transparent in the resulting PNG.
Because PNG uses lossless compression, which preserves all the pixel information, while WebP can compress with controlled loss to produce lighter files.
The tool takes the image as the browser loads it and generates a single static PNG; it doesn't preserve the animation of an animated WebP.
Alternatives
Desktop tools like GIMP or Photoshop (with the WebP plugin) can also export to PNG. This tool avoids installing extra software: you select the WebP file and get the PNG in seconds, without the image ever leaving your browser.
