Convert WebP to PNG — Offline
Drop one or more .webp images onto MiniMax Converter and save them as lossless PNG, with transparency preserved. Batch-convert a whole folder if you like. Runs locally — no upload, no file-size limit, no watermark.
How to convert
- Drag your .webp file (or a folder of them) onto the MiniMax Converter window.
- Pick PNG as the output format from the format chooser.
- Confirm the output folder — PNG is lossless and transparency is carried over automatically, so there are no quality settings to fiddle with.
- Click convert and your PNG files are written next to the originals.
Lossless output, with transparency intact
PNG is a lossless format, so the WebP-to-PNG step itself adds no further compression artifacts — every pixel from the decoded WebP is written exactly. If the source WebP has an alpha channel, the transparency is carried straight into the PNG. One honest caveat: if your original WebP was saved in lossy mode, the detail it already discarded can't be recovered — PNG faithfully preserves whatever the WebP currently contains, no more.
Why convert WebP to PNG?
WebP is great for the web but isn't universally accepted by older editors, print workflows, or some operating-system tools. PNG is the safe, everywhere-supported choice when you need a file that just opens — in Photoshop, in a document, in legacy software — while keeping a crisp, lossless image and a transparent background. Drop a single icon or a whole export folder; the app converts them all in one pass using Pillow.
Why offline?
Online WebP-to-PNG converters cap file sizes, throttle bandwidth, require an upload per image, and frequently inject ads or watermarks. Local conversion handles any resolution, runs at SSD speed, and your images never leave your machine — useful for client work, screenshots, or anything you'd rather not hand to a third-party server.
Questions and answers
Does the conversion keep transparency?
Yes. If your WebP has an alpha channel, the resulting PNG keeps the transparent background — PNG saves with the image's native mode rather than flattening it to a solid color.
Is converting WebP to PNG lossless?
The PNG encode is fully lossless, so no new artifacts are introduced. However, if the source WebP was a lossy file, detail already lost during WebP compression can't be restored — the PNG just preserves the current pixels exactly.
Can I convert a whole folder of WebP files at once?
Yes. Drop a folder or select multiple files and they're all converted in one batch, each saved as its own PNG next to the original.
Will the PNG files be larger than the WebP originals?
Usually yes. PNG is lossless and uncompressed relative to lossy WebP, so file sizes commonly grow several times over. That's the normal trade for a lossless, universally compatible format.
