Turning a WebP file into a PNG is straightforward once you know how. Here are three methods that work on any device.
Method 1: Online Converter (Fastest)
The simplest option: go to pixconv.io/webp-to-png, drop your WebP file in, and download the PNG.
- No signup. No account needed.
- Private. Your image is never uploaded — conversion happens inside your browser.
- Free. No cost, no limits, no ads requiring you to wait.
- Works everywhere. Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android, Chromebook.
For multiple WebP files, drop them all at once. A ZIP download button appears when they are all ready.
Method 2: On a Mac
- Open the WebP in Preview. Double-click the file or right-click → Open With → Preview.
- Export as PNG. Go to File → Export, change the format to PNG, and save.
No extra apps needed — Preview is built into every Mac.
Batch: Open all your WebP files in Preview at once, select all in the sidebar (⌘A), then File → Export Selected Images → PNG.
Method 3: On Windows
- Right-click the WebP → Open with → Paint.
- Go to File → Save as → PNG picture.
If your Windows version can’t open WebP in Paint, use Method 1 instead.
A Note on File Size
After conversion, your PNG will likely be larger than the original WebP. This is normal — WebP uses more aggressive compression than PNG. You are trading file size for compatibility.
If you want to go the other direction (make a PNG smaller for web use), try converting PNG to WebP — WebP is typically 25–50% smaller.
Does Converting Change the Image Quality?
No. PNG is a lossless format. The conversion step adds no further compression or degradation. If the WebP was lossless, the PNG is a pixel-perfect copy. If the WebP was lossy, the PNG preserves exactly what the WebP displayed.
