Convert WebP to PNG
Open WebP images anywhere by saving them as PNG, on your device.
Done
Open the network tab. It stays empty.
Add files and run the tool to see every request this tab makes.
Your files are processed on this device and never sent to a server. Reload the page to clear everything from memory.
Most images you save from websites today arrive as WebP, and plenty of software still cannot open them: older image editors, some office suites, many upload forms. PNG is the fix when you need the image to open everywhere and keep its transparency.
Your browser decodes WebP natively, so this conversion needs no extra download. Transparent areas in the WebP stay transparent in the PNG. Because PNG is lossless the file will be larger than the WebP, sometimes considerably; if size matters and there is no transparency, WebP to JPG is the smaller option.
How it works
- Drop your WebP files onto the page, or tap to pick them. Batches are fine.
- There are no quality settings: PNG is lossless, so the output matches the decoded image exactly.
- Download each PNG, or all of them as one zip.
In your browser, not on a server
Your browser already knows how to decode JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and SVG. Stayput draws each image onto an off-screen canvas and asks the browser to encode it again in the format you picked. HEIC input goes through the libheif WebAssembly decoder, and JPEG XL (or AVIF, in a browser without native support) through the Squoosh decoders compiled to WebAssembly, fetched once as program files and cached. Nothing here needs a server because nothing here is beyond what a browser can do on its own.
Compared with upload-based tools: Online converters upload your image, convert it on their machine and hand it back through an ad-covered download page. This does the same conversion with the same codecs, on your device, in less time than the upload.
Verify it yourself. Load this page, turn off Wi-Fi or switch to airplane mode, and run the tool. Or open your browser's developer tools (F12, or Cmd-Option-I on a Mac), pick the Network tab, and watch it while you convert. The panel above does the same count for you.
Questions
Is transparency kept?
Yes. PNG supports alpha transparency, and the converter copies it through unchanged.
Why can’t I open WebP files in the first place?
WebP was created by Google in 2010 and every current browser supports it, but a lot of desktop software added support late or not at all. Converting to PNG sidesteps the problem without losing anything.
Are the images uploaded to a server?
No. The decode and encode happen inside your browser tab. Nothing about your image leaves the device.
