FORMAT KNOWLEDGE

What happens when WebP becomes PNG?

LokalPix decodes the WebP in your browser and stores the visible image losslessly as PNG.

WEBP

Lossy or lossless

WebP can store image data with lossy (VP8) or lossless (VP8L) compression. Its container also supports transparency and animation.

PNG

Lossless output with transparency

PNG stores every pixel value without additional compression and fully preserves transparency through an alpha channel.

IMPORTANT

Animation is lost

If the WebP was animated, only a single still frame is produced. Earlier lossy VP8 compression is not reversed by PNG.

FORMAT IN DEPTH

WebP and PNG compared

Strengths and limitations of both formats.

How WebP encodes

WebP uses a RIFF container. Lossy images use a VP8 bitstream with spatial prediction and entropy coding. Lossless WebP data uses the separate VP8L method with palette transforms, back-references, and Huffman codes.

Why PNG is useful

PNG is supported almost everywhere — in image editors, document workflows, and legacy software. It preserves transparency losslessly, which matters for graphics, logos, and overlays.

What PNG does better

PNG can carry transparency correctly when the WebP source contains an alpha channel. An animated WebP becomes a still frame because PNG does not support animation.

What is lost?

If the WebP source was lossy, those losses remain in the PNG. PNG cannot reconstruct earlier VP8 artefacts. Metadata (EXIF, XMP, ICC) are removed by default.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Questions about WebP to PNG

Answers about quality, privacy, and format limitations.

Is transparency carried over to PNG?

Yes. If the WebP has an alpha channel, it is transferred losslessly to the PNG. Check the result for logos and cut-out subjects.

Why is the PNG file larger?

PNG is lossless and is usually larger than WebP for photographs. A larger file does not automatically mean better quality.

Is a WebP animation lost?

Yes. PNG does not support animation. The result is a still frame of the first frame.

Are resolution and aspect ratio preserved?

Yes. LokalPix does not intentionally change the pixel dimensions during this conversion.

Are metadata preserved?

Metadata are removed by default. WebP EXIF and ICC chunks are not transferred to the PNG file.

Can I convert several WebP files?

Yes. Up to 20 files can be processed in one batch and downloaded individually or together as a ZIP archive.
