What happens to your image going from WebP to PNG
- A PNG can't restore detail the WebP had already dropped, but it does prevent any more loss when you re-save. The file will be larger, because PNG keeps every pixel exactly.
WebP vs PNG in brief
- WebP is an image format Google designed to make websites load faster. It handles lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation, and typically comes out 25–35% smaller than a matching JPG, although some editors, older programs and upload forms still won't take it.
- PNG is lossless, meaning every pixel is stored exactly, and it supports full transparency. That suits screenshots, logos and graphics perfectly, but a photo saved as PNG is often several times larger than the same shot as a JPG.
Worth knowing
- There's no software to install and no account to create. Everything runs inside the browser tab, so it behaves the same on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android and Chromebook.

Questions & answers
Does changing WebP to PNG lower the quality?
No more quality is lost, because PNG is lossless. Your PNG matches the WebP exactly.
Can I do a whole batch of WebP files?
Yes. Add as many as you want; each is converted separately, and Download all bundles them into a single ZIP.
Do my photos get sent anywhere?
No. Your browser does the conversion with your device's own processor, so your photos stay with you. Once the page has loaded you could even switch off your internet connection.
