WebP to PNG: best photos and fixes.
Why that image came down as WebP
Sites serve images as WebP because it is smaller than PNG and JPG. When you right-click and save, or use Save image as in Chrome, you get the WebP file the page used, even if the picture looked like a normal PNG. Some tools then refuse it, which is the usual reason people search for this conversion. A PNG opens almost everywhere.
Transparent backgrounds
WebP can store transparency, and so can PNG, so a cut-out, logo or sticker keeps its see-through background in the conversion. If the image looks like it has a white box in your viewer, that is usually the viewer. Open the PNG over a colored background in an editor to check. JPG cannot hold transparency, so use the JPG page if that is what you want.
The PNG will be bigger
WebP files are small. A PNG of the same picture is often two to five times larger, because PNG is lossless and WebP is usually not. This matters for email limits and for web pages you build. If you are placing the image on a website and do not need a PNG, keeping it as WebP is more efficient. If the file is for a website, keep the WebP.
Quality is not restored
If the WebP was saved with lossy compression, the PNG shows the same picture, including any softness or blocky edges. PNG cannot bring back detail that the WebP no longer has. What you gain is a stable format: saving the PNG again will not lower quality further the way repeated JPG saves do. Check the sizes in your folder before you send them, since a dozen PNGs can add up quickly.
Animated WebP and other limits
Animated WebP files turn into a single still, the first frame, because PNG here is not animated. Images above 16 megapixels are scaled down to 16 first. Camera information such as the date and location is not carried over, though most WebP files from websites have none to begin with. Only the first frame is kept, so pick the frame you need before saving if you can.
Checking the result
After converting, open one PNG in the program where you will use it. Check the edges around transparent areas against both a light and a dark background. If you see a halo, it was already in the WebP. Keep the original files until you are sure the PNGs work where you need them. A quick test on one file saves redoing a whole batch later.
