Short version: open the free tool, drop your file, download the result. Nothing is uploaded.

Steps

  1. Open the WBS Image Converter. This link opens it set to PNG.
  2. Drop one or more .webp files onto the page.
  3. Optional: resize under Resize (for example, a max width of 512 px for an app icon).
  4. Press Download next to each PNG.

Why PNG, not JPG?

JPG has no transparency, so converting a transparent WebP to JPG fills the see-through parts with a solid color. PNG supports transparency, so a logo or sticker keeps its cut-out shape. That's why the converter hides the background color option when PNG is selected: nothing gets filled.

Will the file get bigger?

Usually, yes. PNG is lossless, while most WebP images on the web are lossy. Expect the PNG to be larger than the WebP, sometimes several times larger for photos. For photos without transparency, converting to JPG gives a much smaller file.

Is quality lost?

No extra loss. The browser decodes the WebP and writes every pixel into the PNG exactly. Any blur already baked into a lossy WebP stays, but nothing new is added.
