Why choose PNG for WebP graphics
WebP supports transparency, and many websites use it for logos, product cut-outs and stickers. If you convert those to JPG, every transparent pixel becomes a solid colour. PNG keeps the alpha channel, so the graphic can still be placed on any background.
PNG is also the better format for screenshots, diagrams and anything with text, because its lossless compression keeps edges crisp where JPG would add faint smudges.
How to use the webP to PNG tool
- Add WebP files. Drop, choose, or paste images copied from a browser.
- Keep PNG selected. There is no quality setting for PNG; it is always lossless.
- Optionally limit dimensions. Set a max width or height if the images are larger than you need.
- Download. Save individual PNGs or a ZIP of everything.
Settings explained
- Max width and height
- Scales the image down proportionally. It never enlarges images.
- Max size per image (KB)
- For PNG this works by reducing dimensions, because the format has no quality setting.
Using the PNG in design tools
Figma, Canva, PowerPoint, Keynote and most photo editors place PNGs with their transparency intact, so a converted logo sits cleanly on coloured slides or backgrounds. If an app shows a white or black box behind the image, it is ignoring transparency; check that you inserted the PNG and not an older JPG copy.
For the web, there is usually no need to convert at all: every current browser displays WebP, and it is smaller than PNG.
Checking the transparency
Select a converted file to open the comparison. Transparent areas show a checkerboard behind them, so you can confirm the background was kept.
Lossless WebP versus lossy WebP
WebP has a lossless mode and a lossy mode. A lossless WebP converted to PNG is pixel-for-pixel identical. A lossy WebP converted to PNG keeps the image exactly as decoded, including any compression artefacts already in it.
Troubleshooting
- The PNG is much larger than the WebP
- Expected: WebP compresses better than PNG. If size matters and you do not need transparency, use JPG.
- An animated WebP became a still image
- Only the first frame is converted.
