Are my WebP files uploaded anywhere?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it yourself: open the network tab of your browser's developer tools and watch that nothing is sent while the file converts.

Does the transparent background survive?

Yes, completely. Both formats have a proper alpha channel, so a cut-out logo or an icon keeps its transparent background exactly. This is the main reason to choose PNG over JPG here — JPG would fill it with a solid colour.

Does converting WebP to PNG improve the image?

No, and it is worth being clear about that. PNG is lossless from this point on, but the WebP already discarded detail when it was made. You are preserving what you have rather than recovering anything.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?

Often several times. WebP compresses efficiently and PNG does not compress photographs well at all. For a logo or an icon the difference is small; for a photograph it can be dramatic.

Should I convert to PNG or to JPG?

If the image is a photograph with no transparency and you only need it to open somewhere, JPG — much smaller and no visible difference. Choose PNG when there is transparency to keep or the image will be edited.

Will the PNG open in Photoshop and Illustrator?

Yes. PNG has been read by every version of every serious image editor for two decades, which is exactly why this conversion exists — older releases of Photoshop refuse WebP without a plugin.

Convert WebP to PNG

Up to 3 files at once, 100 with Pro. Mixed formats are fine.

Converting WebP to PNG keeps the transparent background completely intact and gives you a file that loses nothing from here on, which is what a design tool needs. Expect it to be several times larger. Drop the file above and it converts on your own machine, free and with nothing uploaded.

Why choose PNG rather than JPG for a WebP

People arrive at WebP to JPG because something refused to open their file. They arrive here on purpose, and usually for one of two reasons: the image has a transparent background, or it is going into a design tool and needs to survive being edited.

Keeping a transparent background

Transparency is the clear-cut case. WebP has a real alpha channel and so does PNG, so a cut-out product shot, a logo with no background or an interface icon converts with its transparency completely intact. There is no fill colour to choose and nothing to check afterwards.

Converting the same file to JPG would flatten those areas onto a solid colour — usually white — and a white logo on transparency simply disappears. If there is any transparency in the image at all, PNG is the answer and JPG is not.

PNG for images you are going to edit

PNG is lossless, so once the picture is decoded it can be cropped, adjusted, exported and re-saved as many times as you like without accumulating any further damage. A JPG loses a little on every save, which is invisible once and obvious after ten rounds. If the image is going to be worked on rather than simply looked at, start from a PNG.

What "lossless" does not mean here

One thing this cannot do, and the word invites the misunderstanding: it does not improve the image. The WebP discarded detail when it was created, and nothing recovers that. What PNG guarantees is that no further detail is lost from here on.

If the original exists somewhere in a better form — the photograph off the camera, the vector file the logo was exported from — converting that is always better than converting the WebP.

Expect the file to grow

Sometimes a lot. WebP is efficient and PNG is not, particularly for photographs, where PNG can easily be five times the size. For flat graphics and icons the gap is much smaller, because that is the kind of image PNG was designed around.

If the image is a photograph with no transparency and you simply need it to open in something, JPG will serve you better and at a fraction of the size. The conversion runs in your browser either way, so a folder of images converts as fast as your machine manages and nothing is uploaded.
