Format & Conversion

WebP to PNG

Convert WebP images to PNG. WebP is built for the web, where it usually lands 25-35% smaller than an equivalent JPEG; PNG for screenshots, logos, and anything with flat colour or sharp edges. PNG holds a single frame, so an animated WebP is reduced to its first frame. PNG is lossless, but it cannot restore what WebP already discarded. Expect a larger file at the same visible quality, which pays off when the image faces more editing. Runs on your own Vistalyth Tools instance. Files never reach a third party.

Features

  • Quality control over the PNG encode, so you choose the size-versus-detail point
  • Batch conversion across a folder of WebP files
  • Metadata and colour profile carried over wherever PNG can hold them
  • Your WebP files are processed on your own server and never uploaded anywhere

What you can do

  • Move a WebP into PNG before editing, so repeated saves stop degrading it
  • Batch a folder of WebP files into PNG in one pass
  • Satisfy an upload form or pipeline that takes PNG and rejects WebP

Self-hosted. Your files never leave your network.

Vistalyth Tools runs entirely on your own infrastructure. Files processed with WebP to PNG are never uploaded to third-party servers. Deploy a single Docker container and process files with full privacy, no watermarks, and no usage limits. Open source under AGPL-3.0.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting WebP to PNG lose quality?
Only the first frame survives, so if the animation is the point, convert to WebP or MP4 instead and keep the motion.
Which quality setting should I use?
Start at the default, then lower it until you can see the difference at the size the image is actually viewed. Most photographs hold up further down than people expect.
Can I go back to WebP afterwards?
You can convert back, but you will not recover the original. WebP discarded detail when it was first written, and PNG cannot invent it. Keep the source file if you might need it.
