WebP to PNG: help & limits
About this tool
Convert a still WebP image to PNG when your next editing tool, document, or upload form needs that format. Transparent areas can remain transparent, and the image keeps its pixel dimensions. Choose a file, check the result against the original details, and download the PNG without sending your image to a server.
How to use
- Choose a still WebP image within the displayed limits.
- Conversion starts automatically. Inspect the preview, especially transparent edges.
- Download the PNG and compare its file size with the original.
Supported files
Still WebP · Up to 64 MiB · 64 megapixels. One image at a time. Maximum 16,384 pixels per edge and 128 MiB output.
How it works
Your browser decodes the WebP into pixels and encodes them as PNG. PNG avoids further lossy compression of those decoded pixels, but it cannot restore detail previously lost when the WebP was created.
Examples
A transparent logo for a presentation
Convert a 1,200 × 1,200 WebP logo to PNG. The output stays 1,200 × 1,200, with transparent areas retained.
An illustration for an older editor
Convert an 800 × 600 WebP illustration for an editor that accepts PNG. The PNG may occupy more storage than the WebP.
Limitations
- Animated WebP is rejected rather than silently reduced to one frame.
- PNG output can be substantially larger. Conversion cannot sharpen an already blurry source.
- At most 16,384 pixels per edge. Low-memory devices can fail below the stated limits. Embedded metadata and exact color-profile behavior are not preserved as a guarantee.
Privacy
The browser decodes your WebP and creates the PNG on your device. Reqly does not fetch an image from a URL or send the selected file to another website.
Local processing explainedCommon questions
Why is the PNG larger than my WebP?
The formats store image data differently. WebP often compresses photographs more efficiently. Changing format does not necessarily reduce file size.
Does conversion improve a blurry WebP?
No. It changes the format, without recovering missing detail or increasing the source image’s sharpness.
Will a transparent background become white?
Transparent areas are retained in supported conversions. The checkerboard preview represents transparency and is not part of the download.
