WebP to PNG

A WebP is a website's file. The moment it has to be edited, printed, archived or sent through a door that refuses WebP, it needs to become something the rest of the world reads. This door converts one WebP to a PNG, here in your browser: every pixel written exactly, transparency kept, and the trade stated before you run, the file gets bigger and the picture does not change. A whole folder at once is the batch convert page; the reverse trip is PNG to WebP.

For one WebP that has to become a working file: editing, printing, archiving, or a portal that takes PNG and not WebP.

What changes

The wrapper changes, and the picture does not. The decoded picture is written into the PNG pixel for pixel, see-through parts included: nothing added, nothing sharpened. Expect the file to grow, often a lot; the result line prints both sizes.

PNG is lossless, so there is no quality setting on this door: the decoded picture is written exactly, pixel for pixel.

How it works

The WebP is decoded by the open-source jSquash codecs and the decoded picture is written as a PNG, losslessly, the same engine the batch convert page runs. The first run loads the image program (about 2 MB, one time only). The download is how we protect your privacy: the program comes to your device and does the work there, so your file never leaves it.

Honest limits

Whatever the WebP itself lost when it was made stays lost: the PNG is an exact copy of the decoded picture, not a restoration. Animated WebP is read as its first frame only; this door is for still pictures. And if the file is going back onto a website, the WebP you started with was already the right weight; the PNG to WebP door is the one that lightens PNGs for pages.

Questions

Why would I want the bigger file?

Because PNG is the format the rest of the world agrees on: editors open it, portals accept it, print queues take it, and it stores the picture exactly. If a WebP has to be edited, archived or handed to a program that refuses WebP, the PNG is the safe copy to work from.

Does the transparency survive?

Yes. PNG holds see-through pixels, so a transparent WebP converts with its transparency intact, pixel for pixel.

Will the picture look better as a PNG?

No. The PNG stores the picture exactly as the WebP decoded it; nothing is added back and nothing is sharpened. What changes is the file: bigger, exact, and readable everywhere.

Where does my file go?

Nowhere. It is decoded, re-encoded and offered back to you inside this page. Nothing is uploaded.
