Convert WebP to PNG or JPG

Images saved from websites are often WebP, which some desktop programs, older phones and upload forms will not accept. Photostar opens the WebP in your browser and saves it as a PNG or JPG.

Photostar is a free online Photoshop alternative that runs in your browser. There is no account to make, and your files stay on your device.

How to do it

  1. Open the WebP. Click the button above, or drag the .webp file onto Photostar.
  2. Pick a format. Choose File → Export As. Pick PNG to keep any transparent background, or JPEG for a smaller photo file.
  3. Export. Leave the size as it is, or type a new width. Click Export and the file downloads.

Questions

How do I save a WebP as PNG?

Open it in Photostar, choose File → Export As, pick PNG and click Export.

Does converting WebP to PNG keep transparency?

Yes. PNG keeps transparent areas exactly. JPEG does not, and fills them with white.

Why is the PNG so much bigger?

PNG is lossless and does not shrink photos well. If the picture is a photo, JPEG gives a far smaller file.

Can I convert PNG to WebP?

Yes. Open the PNG and choose WebP in File → Export As, then set the quality.
