  • No upload The conversion runs in this tab. Your file never travels — not to us, and not to the advertising.
  • No sign-up, no email, no daily cap There is no account system to sign up to.
  • No size limit we invented Only your device's memory — about ~2 GB on a desktop browser, ~400 MB on a phone.
  • Turn your Wi-Fi off and convert anyway The conversion needs nothing but this page. Ads will not load without a connection; your file will still convert. That is the whole claim, and it takes five seconds to check.

Converts WebP to PNG. This is the conversion to choose over JPG whenever the image has transparency or hard edges — a logo, a screenshot, an icon, a diagram.

Transparency survives intact

PNG has a full 8-bit alpha channel, exactly like WebP, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels come across unchanged. There is no background to choose and nothing to lose.

That is the whole reason to pick PNG here. If the image is a photograph with no transparency, JPG gives a much smaller file at the same apparent quality.

PNG is lossless, but that cuts both ways

No further quality is lost in this conversion — the pixels the WebP decoded to are written exactly.

What PNG cannot do is un-lose what a lossy WebP already discarded. If the source was lossy WebP, its compression artefacts are now permanently baked into a lossless file, which is why a PNG converted from a lossy WebP is often larger than the original: PNG has to encode the artefacts faithfully as if they were detail.

Expect a photograph to grow substantially. A screenshot or a logo, which is what PNG is good at, will usually be comparable or smaller.

Metadata is removed, which is usually the point

Re-encoding through a canvas keeps the pixels and discards everything else: EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera make and model, lens, shutter speed, the timestamp, any embedded thumbnail, and the colour profile.

For a photo you are about to publish this is a feature. A JPEG straight off a phone can carry the exact coordinates of where it was taken, and stripping that before it goes anywhere public is good practice — the conversion does it as a side effect.

The one piece of metadata that is honoured before being dropped is the orientation flag. Phones store photos in the sensor's native orientation with a tag saying which way is up; ignoring it produces sideways pictures. It is applied to the pixels, so the result is upright without needing the tag.

If you need the EXIF preserved, this is the wrong tool — a converter that re-encodes cannot keep it.

Questions

Why is my PNG so much bigger?
PNG is lossless and has to encode every pixel exactly, including the compression artefacts the WebP already introduced. Photographs grow the most; screenshots and logos barely change.
PNG or JPG?
PNG if the image has transparency, text, or hard edges. JPG if it is a photograph and file size matters.
Is any quality lost?
None in this step. PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly.
Can I convert a whole folder of images?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like, or a whole folder. Each keeps its original name with the new extension — IMG_4032.heic becomes IMG_4032.jpg, never converted_1.jpg — and you can download them individually or as a ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The decoding and re-encoding happen in this tab using the browser’s own image support. Photos are personal in a way most files are not, and none of them is transmitted. Turn your Wi-Fi off and the converter keeps working.
How large an image can I convert?
The practical ceiling is the browser’s canvas limit, about 268 million pixels in total area — roughly 16,000 × 16,000. Above that you get a clear error rather than a silent failure, and resizing first is the fix. File size itself is limited only by your device’s memory.
