How to Convert WebP to PNG (Save & Edit WebP Images)
WebP is great for the web but not every app accepts it. Convert WebP to PNG for universal editing — with transparency kept intact.
WebP is a modern format that makes web images small and fast — but when you save one and try to open it in an editor, print it, or upload it somewhere, you may hit a wall: not every app supports WebP. Converting WebP to PNG gives you a universally-editable image with transparency preserved. Here's how to do it free.
Why convert WebP to PNG
Universal editing. Some older editors and apps don't open WebP. PNG opens everywhere.
Transparency kept. WebP can hold transparency, and so can PNG — so converting to PNG (not JPG) keeps a transparent background intact.
Lossless copy. PNG is lossless, giving you a clean master to edit without further compression.

Step 1 — Open the converter at sjpt.io.

Step 3 — Choose PNG as the output.
Step 4 — Download the PNG — ready to edit, upload or print anywhere.
No watermark, no sign-up, processed privately in your browser.
PNG or JPG — which output?
Convert WebP to PNG if the image has transparency or sharp edges/text you want kept crisp and lossless. Convert to JPG instead if it's a photo you just want small and shareable (JPG will be much lighter). If you're unsure and the image might have a transparent background, PNG is the safe choice — it can't accidentally add a solid background the way JPG does.
Where WebP files come from
You'll most often meet WebP when you save an image from a website — many sites now serve WebP for speed, so the download lands as a .webp file. Screenshots and exports can be WebP too. If an app rejects the file or shows an error, WebP is a likely culprit — convert it to PNG and it'll behave like any normal image.
