Windows 10 and 11 can view WebP files in Edge and Photos, but converting them to PNG isn’t built into the OS. The fastest way to convert WebP to PNG on Windows is a browser-based tool — no install, no admin rights, and it handles multiple files at once. Here’s exactly how.

The Fastest Way to Convert WebP to PNG on Windows

Open Ibis WebP to PNG in any Windows browser — Chrome, Edge, or Firefox all work. Then:

  1. Click Choose Files and pick your WebP file (or Ctrl+click for multiple).
  2. The tool converts immediately — PNG is lossless so there’s no quality setting to configure.
  3. Click Download PNG. For multiple files, you’ll get a ZIP.

The entire process happens inside your browser tab. Your files stay on your device.

Why "Save As" Doesn't Convert WebP to PNG on Windows

Windows Photos and Paint can open WebP files, but "Save As" in Paint doesn’t always offer PNG as a format for WebP inputs in older Windows builds. Even when it does, Paint is a one-file-at-a-time workflow and doesn’t preserve transparency. The browser converter handles both problems: batch processing and full transparency support.

Batch Converting WebP to PNG on Windows

If you have a folder of WebP images to convert:

  1. Open the tool in your browser.
  2. In the file picker, press Ctrl+A to select all WebP files in the folder, or Ctrl+click to pick specific ones.
  3. The tool processes them all in parallel in your browser.
  4. One ZIP downloads with all the PNGs inside.

Extract the ZIP using Windows Explorer (right-click → Extract All) and your PNGs are ready.

Does It Work on Windows 10 and Windows 11?

Yes — the tool is browser-based, so operating system version doesn’t matter. As long as you have a modern browser (Chrome 90+, Edge 90+, Firefox 90+), it works identically on Windows 10 and Windows 11. No Windows Store apps, no .NET dependencies, no admin rights required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert WebP to PNG without installing anything on Windows?

Yes. The browser-based converter works in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on Windows 10 and 11 with nothing to install.

Does Windows 11 have a built-in WebP to PNG converter?

No. Windows 11 can open and display WebP files, but converting them to PNG requires a separate tool or a browser-based converter.

Will the conversion preserve transparency on Windows?

Yes. The converter preserves the alpha channel. Open the resulting PNG in Edge or Chrome to verify the checkerboard transparency pattern.

Is there a file size limit for Windows users?

No server-side limits — conversion runs in your browser tab using your device's memory.
