Why won't Photoshop or MS Paint open my WebP?

Photoshop added native WebP support in version 23.2 (2022); older versions need a plugin. MS Paint, Office, and many email clients still don't support WebP. Converting to PNG fixes that.

Will transparency be preserved?

Yes — both WebP and PNG support full alpha transparency. Your transparent backgrounds are preserved exactly.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs 100% in your browser. Files never leave your device.

Will the PNG be larger than the WebP?

Yes, usually 2–4× larger because PNG is lossless and WebP has more efficient compression. That's the trade-off for compatibility.

Will quality be lost?

No — PNG is lossless. The output is pixel-identical to the WebP source image.

Why did websites switch to WebP in the first place?

WebP files are typically 25–35% smaller than equivalent JPG/PNG, which speeds up websites. Google Search even uses WebP support as a ranking signal indirectly via Core Web Vitals.

Can I convert animated WebP?

Currently only the first frame of an animated WebP is converted. For animations, convert to GIF instead.

What's the max file size?

100MB per file, which is far more than typical WebP images need.
