How to convert WebP to PNG
A step-by-step guide to convert WebP to PNG, with advice on the settings and checks that matter.
Before you start
Choose PNG when your next application needs it or when transparent areas must remain available.
How to do it, step by step
- Choose the WebP image you want to use in an app that expects PNG.
- Convert and download the PNG.
- Check transparent edges against a contrasting background before placing the image into a design.
Check the saved file
Check transparent edges and confirm that the browser decoded the source correctly.
Preserve transparency when converting WebP
Both WebP and PNG can represent transparency. JPG cannot, so choosing the wrong destination format can introduce an unwanted solid background. Convert to PNG and inspect the result against a contrasting background. Existing compression artifacts in the WebP will not disappear merely by changing formats.
