WebP is what you get when you save an image from most modern websites, and it is still a format that plenty of software refuses to open: older versions of Photoshop and Office, many email clients, some print shops and image-upload forms that only accept JPG and PNG. Converting to PNG solves that, and PNG is the correct choice when the WebP has a transparent background, since JPG would paint it white. Logos, icons, stickers and product cut-outs downloaded as WebP are the usual candidates.
The conversion uses your browser's own image engine, the same one that draws WebP on web pages, and transparency is carried across untouched. Expect the PNG to be larger, sometimes several times larger. PNG stores every pixel losslessly while WebP compresses aggressively, and that is the price of compatibility, not a fault in the file. It is also worth knowing that the switch does not improve the picture: if the WebP was saved with lossy compression, the artefacts it already carries are preserved exactly, and PNG only stops further loss from this point on. For a photograph with no transparency where file size matters more, JPG is the leaner target.
The file is converted on your device and never uploaded, which is reasonable to expect for something as routine as a format change.

Frequently asked questions
- Does this keep transparency?
- Yes — PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas in your WebP are preserved exactly.
- PNG or JPG — which should I pick?
- Pick PNG for graphics, logos or anything with transparency; pick JPG for photos where a smaller file matters more.
- Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?
- PNG is lossless and stores every pixel in full, while WebP is designed to compress hard. A 200 KB WebP can easily become a 1 to 2 MB PNG. The size grows; the picture does not change.
- Does converting to PNG make the image sharper?
- No. If the WebP was saved with lossy compression, the detail it lost is gone for good. PNG preserves what is there and prevents any further degradation, which is still worth having before editing.
