Best WebP to PNG Converter (2026): 10 Tools Ranked

WebP is everywhere on the modern web, but the moment you download a .webp and try to drop it into PowerPoint, an old editor, or a client's CMS, it bounces. Converting to PNG fixes that instantly, keeps transparency intact, and gives you a file that opens anywhere. The trick is picking the right converter for your job: a single image, a folder of 400, a privacy-sensitive design file, or an automated pipeline.

Quick answer: For most people the best WebP to PNG converter is EZGIF, a free, no-signup tool whose bulk mode processes files right in your browser and even handles animated WebP → APNG. If you want the same client-side privacy inside a general-purpose toolkit, Pixelor is our pick; for offline folder batches, XnConvert wins.

Below we score ten genuinely good options on five weighted criteria, with honest pros, cons, and real pricing verified against each tool's own site in 2026.

Disclosure: Pixelor publishes this list and is one of the tools featured in it. We rank on transparent, weighted scores and say plainly where a competitor beats us — that's the only way a roundup earns your trust, which is why our own tool sits at #2, not #1.

Comparison table: 10 best WebP to PNG converters

"Uploads files?" is a privacy signal: a "No" means your images never leave your device. "Bulk?" varies — some tools give it away free, others gate it behind a paid tier, which we call out per entry.

1. EZGIF — best free all-round converter

Best for: anyone who wants a fast, free WebP to PNG conversion with no signup — including animated WebP. EZGIF's dedicated WebP to PNG bulk converter processes files locally in your browser with no size or count limits, while the single-file tool adds editing extras.

Quality 9 · Batch 9 · Privacy 8 · Ease 9 · Price 10 → 9.0/10

• Pros: 100% free, no watermark or signup; bulk mode runs client-side (no upload); converts animated WebP to APNG, preserving frames and transparency.
• Cons: the single-file converter does upload (files deleted after an hour); utilitarian interface.

Price: Free. Who should pick it: most people, especially anyone converting animated WebP or who wants zero-friction bulk conversion.

2. Pixelor — best free and private toolkit

Best for: anyone who wants private conversion inside a broader converter/compressor. Pixelor runs entirely client-side — the WebP to PNG conversion happens in your browser tab, so images are never uploaded to a server.

Quality 8 · Batch 7 · Privacy 10 · Ease 9 · Price 8 → 8.4/10

• Pros: genuinely private (nothing uploaded); no install, and free for everyday use (up to 5 files at once, no account); also converts and compresses dozens of other formats, so it doubles as a toolkit.
• Cons: the largest batches and bigger files run on paid credit packs; very old browsers may lack the codecs it relies on.

Price: Free for everyday use; credit packs from $4.99 unlock bulk & larger files. Who should pick it: anyone converting design files or screenshots who wants privacy plus other image tools in one place. Convert WebP to PNG

3. XnConvert — best for offline folder batches

Best for: converting hundreds of WebPs on the desktop with full control. XnConvert is a free-for-personal-use batch processor with a real UI — preview, rename templates, and per-output settings.

Quality 8 · Batch 9 · Privacy 10 · Ease 6 · Price 8 → 8.3/10

• Pros: excellent batch engine for whole folders; runs offline (nothing uploaded); cross-platform on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
• Cons: requires a download and install; the feature-dense UI has a learning curve; business use needs a license.

Price: Free for personal use. Who should pick it: desktop users converting large batches who want naming and output control offline.

4. Squoosh — best for single-image control

Best for: dialing in one image with best-in-class codecs. Squoosh, from Google Chrome Labs, runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly and offers a live before/after slider with OxiPNG output.

Quality 8 · Batch 4 · Privacy 10 · Ease 8 · Price 10 → 7.9/10

• Pros: fully client-side (images never leave your browser); precise quality control; free and open source; works offline as a PWA.
• Cons: the web app converts one image at a time (batch needs the separate CLI); geared toward optimization more than plain conversion.

Price: Free. Who should pick it: anyone converting a single image who wants pixel-level control without uploading it.

5. GIMP — best if you also need to edit

Best for: people who want to touch up an image and export a PNG in the same place. GIMP, the free open-source editor, opens WebP natively (2.10+) and exports clean PNGs with full transparency.

Quality 8 · Batch 5 · Privacy 10 · Ease 5 · Price 10 → 7.7/10

• Pros: complete editing control before export; runs locally (nothing uploaded); free, open source, cross-platform.
• Cons: heavy install and steep learning curve for a simple conversion; batch requires Script-Fu or a plugin.

Price: Free. Who should pick it: users who already edit in GIMP, or anyone needing to crop/retouch before converting.

6. CloudConvert — best for developers and APIs

Best for: automating conversion in your own apps. CloudConvert supports 200+ formats with a well-documented REST API and fine control over output.

Quality 9 · Batch 8 · Privacy 4 · Ease 7 · Price 7 → 7.2/10

• Pros: the strongest API here; huge format coverage; reliable at scale with unlimited concurrency on paid plans.
• Cons: files are uploaded to CloudConvert's servers (a privacy consideration); the free tier is capped (around 10 conversions/day), with paid plans from ~$8/month (as of 30 Jul 2026).

Price: Free tier + paid from ~$8/month (as of 30 Jul 2026). Who should pick it: developers and teams needing programmatic WebP handling.

7. Photopea — best browser photo editor

Best for: Photoshop-style editing in the browser before you export. Photopea opens WebP, edits it, and exports PNG — and it processes files client-side in your browser.

Quality 8 · Batch 4 · Privacy 9 · Ease 6 · Price 8 → 7.1/10

• Pros: powerful, familiar PS-like editor; files stay in your browser; free to use.
• Cons: overkill for a plain conversion; ad-supported (premium removes ads); no real batch conversion.

Price: Free with ads; paid tier removes them. Who should pick it: people who need to edit a WebP and export a PNG without installing anything.

8. FreeConvert — best for large files online

Best for: converting a big WebP in the browser. FreeConvert allows files up to 1 GB on its free plan (as of 30 Jul 2026) — larger than most rivals.

Quality 8 · Batch 6 · Privacy 4 · Ease 8 · Price 7 → 6.7/10

• Pros: high 1 GB free file-size ceiling; broad format support; no install.
• Cons: files are uploaded to its servers; the free plan limits concurrency and conversion minutes, so real bulk needs a subscription (paid plans ~$7–$13/month, as of 30 Jul 2026).

Price: Free with limits; paid ~$7–$13/month (as of 30 Jul 2026). Who should pick it: anyone converting occasional large files online.

9. Convertio — best for quick web conversions

Best for: a fast, no-install conversion in a clean interface. Convertio supports a huge range of formats and is about as simple as web tools get.

Quality 8 · Batch 6 · Privacy 4 · Ease 9 · Price 5 → 6.5/10

• Pros: very easy; broad format coverage; handles single files up to 100 MB free (as of 30 Jul 2026).
• Cons: files are uploaded; the free tier is stingy (around 10 conversion minutes per 24 hours, 2 concurrent), so frequent use pushes you to a paid plan.

Price: Freemium. Who should pick it: people who want the simplest possible one-off web conversion and don't mind the free-tier caps.

10. Zamzar — best for occasional conversions

Best for: a rare, no-account conversion. Zamzar is a long-standing web converter supporting many formats.

Quality 7 · Batch 5 · Privacy 4 · Ease 8 · Price 5 → 5.9/10

• Pros: simple and established; huge format list; no install.
• Cons: files are uploaded; the free tier is limited to ~2 files per 24 hours at up to 50 MB; paid plans start around $25/month (as of 30 Jul 2026), the priciest entry point here.

Price: Free (2 files/day) or paid from ~$25/month (as of 30 Jul 2026). Who should pick it: someone converting the very occasional file who values a familiar name over free-tier generosity.

How to pick the right WebP to PNG converter

Match the tool to your situation rather than chasing a single "winner":

• Converting sensitive or client design files? Choose a client-side tool that doesn't upload — EZGIF's bulk mode, Pixelor, Squoosh (browser), or XnConvert/GIMP (desktop). Server-based tools like CloudConvert, FreeConvert, Convertio, and Zamzar send your images to a remote server.
• Batch-converting a whole folder? XnConvert (free, offline) and EZGIF's bulk converter are the cleanest paths; Pixelor's credit packs batch in the browser.
• Converting animated WebP? EZGIF converts it to APNG and preserves the animation.
• Building software? CloudConvert's API is the right tool.
• Just one image, dialed in? Squoosh or Photopea give you fine control.

One practical note: PNG is lossless, so converting from WebP won't add compression artifacts, but the PNG will usually be larger since WebP is more space-efficient (Google for Developers). If size matters afterward, run the results through an image compressor. Compress your images

Frequently asked questions

What is the best free WebP to PNG converter?

For most people it's EZGIF — free, no signup, with a client-side bulk mode and animated-WebP support. If you want privacy inside a broader toolkit, Pixelor converts in your browser without uploading, and for offline folder batches XnConvert is free for personal use.

How do I convert WebP to PNG in bulk?

Use a tool built for batches. EZGIF's bulk converter and XnConvert (free desktop) both handle large sets, and Pixelor's credit packs batch in the browser. Note that server-based tools like Convertio, FreeConvert, and Zamzar cap or gate real bulk behind paid tiers.

Is it safe to convert WebP to PNG online?

It depends on the tool. Many online converters upload your files to a remote server to process them. A client-side converter processes files entirely in your browser so nothing is uploaded — the safer choice for personal or client work. Pixelor, Squoosh, Photopea, and EZGIF's bulk mode all work this way; see our Privacy page for how we handle files.

Does converting WebP to PNG lose quality?

No compression loss. PNG is lossless, so the conversion re-encodes your image without adding artifacts, and transparency is preserved. The main trade-off is file size: the PNG will typically be larger than the WebP because WebP compresses more efficiently (Google for Developers).

Why won't my WebP file open?

WebP is well supported in modern browsers, but many desktop apps, older editors, and some CMS uploaders still don't decode it (MDN Web Docs). Converting to PNG fixes this because PNG opens virtually everywhere while keeping transparency intact.
