You right-click an image from a website, save it, and get a .webp file. You try to open it in Photoshop 2020 or upload it to a platform that does not support WebP. You need PNG. Here is why WebP exists and when to convert.

WebP vs PNG Comparison

Feature	WebP	PNG
File size	26% smaller (lossless)	Larger
Transparency	Yes	Yes
Animation	Yes	No (use APNG)
Browser support	97% (all modern browsers)	100%
Software support	Growing but incomplete	Universal
Editing	Limited tool support	Every image editor
Print	Not recommended	Good for print

When to Convert WebP to PNG

Editing in older software. Photoshop before 2022, GIMP before 2.10, and many other tools do not open WebP natively.
Uploading to platforms. Some platforms (forums, older CMS, print services) reject WebP uploads.
Preserving transparency. If you need transparency and the destination does not support WebP, PNG is the standard fallback.
Print production. Print workflows typically require PNG, TIFF, or PDF — not WebP.

What About Quality?

Converting lossless WebP to PNG is lossless — no quality loss at all. Converting lossy WebP to PNG preserves the current quality (no further degradation) but does not recover lost detail. The PNG will be larger than the WebP but look identical.

Convert WebP to PNG — free, instant, preserves transparency.
