Format comparison
WebP is a web-focused image format that often achieves smaller files while keeping good visual quality.
Pros
- ✓ Often smaller for web delivery
- ✓ Transparency support (useful for UI assets)
- ✓ Broad browser support
Cons
- ✗ Some older browsers unsupported
- ✗ Limited editing software support
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses lossless compression and supports transparency. Ideal for logos and screenshots.
Pros
- ✓ Lossless compression
- ✓ Alpha transparency
- ✓ Great for sharp edges
Cons
- ✗ Larger file sizes
- ✗ Inefficient for photos
When to Convert WebP to PNG
Convert WebP to PNG when you need broader editing-tool compatibility. PNG is also convenient when your asset uses transparency.
Technical Format Details
WebP Technical Specifications
Technical details
WebP is a web-focused image format that supports both lossy and lossless modes, and it can store transparency.
Good for
- Web delivery: Balancing file size and visual quality- Transparent assets: Often lighter than PNG in many cases
Notes
- Editing: Support varies across software- Compatibility: Some older environments may not support WebP

PNG Technical Specifications
Technical details
PNG is a lossless raster format that preserves pixel data exactly. It supports alpha transparency, which makes it a common choice for logos and UI assets.
Good for
- Logos/icons: Assets that need transparency- Screenshots: Crisp text and line art
Notes
- Photos: Files can be large (WebP/JPEG may be a better fit)- Quality setting: Since PNG is lossless, “quality” controls may have little or no effect

How to Use
Add files
Drop or click to select your WebP files (multiple supported)
Confirm output
Default is PNG. You can change to another supported output format if needed.
Adjust options
Set quality, resize, and metadata options only if you need them.
Convert & download
Download each file, or download everything as a ZIP for batch outputs.
FAQ
Does converting WebP to PNG improve quality?
No. Information lost to lossy compression can't be recovered.But once in PNG, further re- saves won't cause additional quality loss.
Is transparency preserved in PNG?
Yes. WebP transparency carries over to PNG correctly. Safe for converting logos and UI elements that need alpha channels.
How much does file size change?
Since PNG uses lossless compression, files are typically 1.5–3× larger than the WebP original.
Can I keep Exif metadata?
When "Keep Exif/Metadata" is ON, we try to carry over things like capture time, camera info, and GPS where possible. Some tags may be dropped depending on the input, output format, and browser environment. Turn it OFF if you want to remove location data before sharing.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes. You can select multiple files, convert them in one run, and download each file individually. For multiple outputs, you can also download everything as a ZIP. For very large batches, splitting into smaller runs is more stable.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs locally in your browser, and your images are not sent to an external server.
What if conversion fails or is slow?
Some formats (like HEIC/HEIF) depend on browser support. If it fails, try another browser, reduce the number of files, or resize before converting.
Why do colors sometimes shift after conversion?
Differences in decoding/encoding and color handling can cause small shifts. For critical images, compare the output against the original.
