Convert WEBP to PNG and Keep the Transparency (Free)

Convert WEBP to PNG and Keep the Transparency (Free)

If your WEBP has a transparent background, PNG is the conversion that keeps it. JPG is the one that destroys it.

WEBP and PNG both support transparency, so converting between them keeps a cut-out logo or a background-free product shot intact. This is the conversion to use when the image has to sit on a coloured background without a white box around it.

How to convert

Drop the .webp into the converter, choose PNG as the output, and download. Transparent areas stay transparent. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Why not JPG

JPG has no concept of transparency. Convert a transparent image to JPG and every see-through pixel becomes solid white — which is exactly the white rectangle people end up with behind a logo and cannot explain. If transparency matters, the answer is PNG or WEBP, never JPG.

Expect a bigger file

PNG is lossless, so the file will usually be larger than the WEBP you started with — sometimes several times larger. That is the price of the format. If the size matters and you only needed PNG for compatibility, consider whether the software you are feeding it accepts WEBP after all.

Convert your file now — free

Drop it in, pick PNG, download with the transparency intact.
