Both conversions make a WebP usable in older software. Pick PNG when the image has transparency (a logo or sticker saved from a website), when it is a graphic or screenshot with sharp edges, or when you plan to edit it further and do not want extra JPG compression. Pick WebP to JPG for ordinary photos, where JPG will be much smaller.
When to choose PNG over JPG
File size and colours
A PNG is usually larger than the WebP it came from, often much larger for photos, because PNG compression is lossless. To keep files reasonable, this converter limits PNG output to at most 3,686 distinct colours. Logos, icons and screenshots normally use fewer and convert without visible change. Photos may show slight banding in smooth gradients.
Animated WebP files are converted to a single still frame.
Settings and output
- Quality: PNG is written at quality 0.9 where the format uses a quality setting. There is no slider on converter pages; use the Image Compressor if you want to choose the quality yourself.
- Size limits: images longer than 4096 px on either side are scaled down to 4096 px. If a converted file would be over 10 MB, it is reduced in steps until it fits.
- Batches: add several files; three are converted at a time. One file downloads directly, two or more come as a ZIP.
- Metadata: EXIF data (camera, date, GPS) and colour profiles are not carried into the new file.
