Why is the PNG file larger than the WebP?

PNG uses lossless compression, which preserves every pixel exactly. WebP achieves smaller sizes through more aggressive compression (often lossy). A larger PNG file means your image is stored at full quality without any data discarded.

Can I convert animated WebP to PNG?

PNG doesn't support animation. If your WebP is animated, only the first frame will be captured in the converted PNG. For animated images, consider keeping the WebP format or converting to GIF.

Why Convert WebP to PNG?

WebP is optimized for web delivery with its compact file sizes, but PNG is the standard for lossless image storage and editing. Converting to PNG gives you a format that every image editor, design tool, and operating system handles perfectly.

PNG preserves transparency from WebP images — if your WebP has transparent areas, they'll carry over to the PNG. PNG also avoids any further lossy compression, making it ideal as a source file for design work.

Common scenarios: extracting web images for use in design projects, preserving transparency for graphics and logos, preparing images for print workflows that require PNG, and ensuring compatibility with older software that doesn't support WebP.

WebP vs PNG: Format Comparison

When PNG is the better choice for your workflow:

Attribute	WebP	PNG
File Size	Smaller (lossy and lossless modes)	Larger but guaranteed lossless
Transparency	Supported	Full alpha channel support
Editing	Limited software support for editing	Universal editor support
Print Workflows	Rarely accepted	Widely accepted for print
Quality Guarantee	Depends on compression settings	Always lossless

Choose PNG when you need guaranteed lossless quality, broad software compatibility, or when working with images destined for print or further editing.
