WebP to PNG

1. Add the WebP files. Drop them on the upload box or use its browse link. The picker here is limited to files ending in .webp, with up to 10 per run.
2. Confirm the format says PNG. After a file is listed, a row of options shows up under it, with Output format set to PNG. You can leave Quality and Background for transparency alone: a PNG ignores the first, and the second matters only when the result is a JPEG.
3. Select Convert to PNG. Each file uploads to private storage, and then our servers convert it. A progress bar counts finished images while the stage label changes from Preparing to Converting to Checking result.
4. Sign in with a free account. Google or an emailed code both work, and no password is involved. You need to do this before the PNG files can be viewed or downloaded.
5. Download the PNGs you need. Each one has its own row with a preview, Download and Save. Save copies a file into My documents, where it stays until you delete it; the rest vanish when the temporary window ends.

Both formats can hold transparent areas, soft edges included, so the choice rarely depends on looks. It depends on where the file is going. WebP can be lossy or lossless and is built for light web pages. PNG is always lossless and is understood by almost every editor.

• Choose PNG for working files. Logos, icons, stickers and interface pieces get opened, resized and exported again. A PNG can be saved repeatedly without extra compression loss, and older design programs can open it.
• Keep WebP for delivery on the web. WebP files tend to be smaller, which helps pages load, and current browsers display them.
• A PNG will not repair a lossy WebP. If the WebP was saved with lossy compression, its small flaws are part of the picture, and the PNG stores them exactly as they are.
• Photos get heavy as PNG. A photographic WebP can become much larger, while a flat-color graphic often stays compact. If you do not need transparency, WebP to JPG usually gives a much smaller file for a photo.

• Transparency comes through, soft edges and all. Fully transparent and partly transparent pixels both pass into the PNG. Nothing is flattened onto white or black here.
• The PNG stores what Docubox reads from the WebP. Those pixels are written out without any new compression loss. The conversion cannot bring back detail a lossy WebP had already dropped.
• Animated WebP files give one still. The PNG uses the first frame, and the result page says so.
• Upright, with the profile kept. If the WebP has a rotation flag, the pixels are turned to match and no flag is written. A color profile that fits the picture stays with it; other embedded metadata does not, and the output is not checked for leftovers.
• Check the edges afterward. Open the PNG over both a light and a dark background. If the WebP had a faint halo around its outline, the PNG keeps the halo, because the pixels are carried across as they are.
• Naming. logo.webp becomes logo.png, one file per image. The results are not zipped or combined, and one unreadable image stops the run for all of them.
• Limits. A single run accepts up to 10 WebP files with a combined size of up to 25 MB, and each image can be up to 40 megapixels. Pro, at $9.99 a month, includes 500 conversions a month (the free plan has 10 a day) and 25 GB of saved documents, rather than bigger runs.

If a PNG turns out larger than you can use, Resize image reduces its dimensions, and the full Convert image tool can save the same picture as a JPEG instead.
