WebP to PNG Converter

Images saved from websites are often WebP, which many editors, printers and upload forms cannot open. Convert them to PNG in a few seconds, with transparent areas kept exactly as they were.

PNG files are larger than WebP. If a form has a KB limit, JPG is usually the better choice.

Why convert WebP to PNG?

WebP is designed to make web images small, but it is not understood everywhere. Older versions of office programs, some design tools, print services and many application portals still expect PNG or JPG.

PNG is lossless and supports transparency, so a logo or sticker with a see-through background stays see-through. KbSnap decodes the WebP on your device and saves a PNG without adding any further quality loss.

What happens to transparency and quality

If your WebP has a transparent background, the PNG keeps it; nothing is filled with white. That makes PNG the right target for logos, icons and cut-out photos that you will place on top of other pictures.

Converting does not restore detail that a lossy WebP already threw away, so the PNG will look the same as the WebP, not better. What you gain is a format that opens everywhere and can be edited and saved again without any new loss. Expect the file to be several times larger than the WebP, because PNG stores every pixel.

Getting the size you need

Pictures saved from websites are often small. Check the pixel size in the result list before you use one in a form or print. If the PNG is bigger than you want, choose a smaller Maximum width/height, or switch to the WebP to JPG converter when a portal needs a small file.

Animated WebP files are saved as a single still image, taken from the first frame. To work with each frame, use a dedicated animation tool.

When PNG is the wrong choice

PNG suits graphics with flat colours, sharp text and transparency. For ordinary photographs it is a poor fit, because every pixel is stored exactly and the files grow very large. A photo that is 200KB as WebP can easily become several megabytes as PNG.

If you only need a picture that every program and upload form will open, JPG is usually the better target and produces a much smaller file. Choose PNG when you will keep editing the image, need the transparent background, or a service specifically asks for PNG.

How to use it

  1. Choose one or more WebP images.
  2. Optionally pick a Maximum width/height to shrink large pictures.
  3. Press Convert to PNG.
  4. Download each PNG or all of them as a ZIP.

Tips for WebP to PNG

  • Keep PNG for logos, icons and pictures with transparent backgrounds.
  • Use JPG instead for photos you only need to upload, because the files are far smaller.
  • Check the pixel size shown for each file before using it in a design or form.
  • Animated WebP files become a single still image.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert WebP to PNG?

Choose the WebP files here, press Convert to PNG and download the results one by one or as a ZIP.

Does the PNG keep the transparent background?

Yes. Transparent areas in the WebP stay transparent in the PNG.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?

PNG is lossless and stores every pixel, while WebP is usually compressed. A larger file is normal.

Will converting improve the quality?

No. It keeps the current quality and stops any further loss, but it cannot bring back detail that was already removed.

Can I convert animated WebP?

Only the first frame is saved, as a still image.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 20 images, 20MB each, with a ZIP download for the whole batch.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Images are processed by your browser on your device and never sent to KbSnap or anyone else.
