# WebP to PNG

Convert WebP to PNG when an editor or an older program refuses the file. Lossless from here on, free, and the image never leaves your device.

## Capabilities

- Free: Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
- Account required: No. There is no account system.
- Processed on device: Yes. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded. There is no server to send it to.
- Formats: WebP in. PNG out, one file per image, or a ZIP when you convert several.
- Limits: No image count limit. An animated WebP comes back as a still of its first frame, because PNG holds one image. Expect the PNG to be several times larger than the WebP was.
- Mobile: Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
- Offline: Yes, after you have used it once. Your browser keeps what the tool needs, so it then works with no network connection.

## Questions

### What happens to an animated WebP?

Only the first frame survives. PNG holds a single image, so the animation stops at frame one and everything after it is dropped. The PNG will not tell you that afterwards, so if the motion matters, keep the WebP as well.

### Why is the PNG so much bigger?

Because it is lossless. WebP throws away detail to get small, and PNG stores every pixel exactly, so a photograph often grows several times over. That is the trade for a file anything will open and that survives repeated editing.

### Does this make the image sharper?

No, and nothing can. PNG records exactly what the WebP contained, including the detail the WebP threw away. It stops further loss from this point on, which is why it is the right format to edit in, but it cannot recover what was never stored.

### Is transparency kept?

Yes. Both formats have a real alpha channel, so see-through areas come across unchanged, with no white background painted underneath.

### Can I resize on the way?

Yes. The menu fits the longest edge to 2048, 1600, 1024 or 640 pixels, keeping proportions, and never enlarges. A WebP served for the web is often already small, so most of these steps will leave it alone, and the result says the size it produced.
