Turning a WebP file into a PNG is straightforward once you know how. Here are three methods that work on any device. If you want every method in one place, the full WebP to PNG guide covers browser, desktop, and command-line options.
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.
