How to Convert WebP to PNG: Step-by-Step Guide

Updated June 2026 · 5 min read

Need to turn a WebP file into a PNG? Whether you're trying to open an image in Photoshop, insert it into a document, or upload it somewhere that doesn't accept WebP, here are four reliable methods — from fastest to most powerful.

Method 1: Online Browser Converter (Fastest — 10 Seconds)

Best for: Quick conversions. No software to install. Works on any device.
  1. Go to webp2png.io
  2. Drag and drop your WebP file onto the page
  3. Select PNG as the output format
  4. Click Convert — the file is processed instantly in your browser
  5. Click Download to save your new PNG file

This method is completely private — your file never leaves your device. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, and Android. You can even convert multiple files at once and download them as a ZIP.

Method 2: Adobe Photoshop

Photoshop 2022 (v23.2) and later: File → Open → select your .webp file. Photoshop handles it natively. File → Save As → PNG.

Photoshop CS6 and earlier: WebP is not supported. You need a plugin (search "WebP Photoshop plugin" — free options available from GitHub) or use Method 1 above.

Method 3: Command Line (For Developers)

Using ImageMagick (free, cross-platform):

magick convert image.webp image.png

Using FFmpeg (if you already have it installed):

ffmpeg -i image.webp image.png

Method 4: On Your Phone

iPhone: Open our converter in Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen to install it as a PWA. Then use it like an app — works offline.

Android: Open Chrome, go to webp2png.io, upload your WebP file, convert, and download. Install as PWA for one-tap access.
