How to convert WebP to PNG

Edited by Ben Jacklin

WebP is a truly innovative and unique image format. Developed by Google, it is intended to create new competition for the most popular image formats used on the web: JPG, GIF, and PNG. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to combine the best features of the three formats. WebP provides lossy compression with a 30% better image quality compared with JPG, easily plays animation like GIF, and like PNG keeps a transparent alpha channel but also offers lossy compression at the same time.

Although it may sound great in theory, practically WebP has a few issues that prevent it from becoming the leading web image format yet. The main issue is that it is not yet supported by the majority of web browsers or mobile devices. While the three aforementioned formats can be easily opened even on a 2000’s cell phone and posted on any web page, WebP requires a specific environment to function in. It works fine with Google Chrome and Android in general but won’t open in Safari or on any iOS device.

So, if you have WebP images that need to be put on a website or your phone, it’s better to convert them into a more universal PNG format that still functions perfectly. The easiest way to do this is to use Movavi Video Converter.
