| Description | WebP is a new lossy image file format, whose mission is to overthrow JPEG, which has long been the ruler of the web image world. Although it is not expected to outdo JEG in image quality right away, it seems to be outdoing it in user-friendliness. With Webp, you get a same-quality image almost 50% smaller than its JPEG counterpart. Webp uses VP8 ñ an open-source codec, and a RIFF-based container, which creates a good potential for further development. The format was created by Google. |

| Description | PNG images provide lossless compression, that is why the quality of the picture is nice, but the size of the file is huge. Because of it this file format is used by photographers. PNG may have several layers of transparency and even include short text descriptions which help search engines to examine the file. Although PNG was developed to replace GIF and partly other formats, it doesn’t support animation since it can’t contain several images like GIF. |

WebP is Google's web image format, designed for fast page loads — it produces files 25–34% smaller than JPEG at comparable quality. But WebP is not universally supported: Photoshop before 2022 cannot open WebP lossless files, most print services require PNG or TIFF, iOS app assets must be PNG, and game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine use PNG for sprites and textures. Converting WebP to PNG preserves full transparency and delivers a file that opens in every application without plugins.
WebP was developed by Google and released in 2010, based on the VP8 video codec. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, full alpha transparency, and animation in a single format. Google designed it specifically for the web to reduce bandwidth usage without visible quality loss.

| Compression | Lossy or lossless | Lossless only (DEFLATE) |
| Transparency | Yes — full alpha channel | Yes — full alpha channel |

| Print service support | Rarely accepted | Universally accepted |
| Best for | Web delivery, bandwidth reduction | Editing, app assets, print, archiving |
The converter decodes the WebP bitstream — either the VP8L lossless stream or the VP8 lossy stream — into raw pixel data, including the alpha channel if present. For lossless WebP, the resulting PNG is a pixel-perfect copy: no information is lost. For lossy WebP, the decoded pixels reflect the lossy compression already applied by the original WebP encoder; those artifacts are preserved (not amplified) in the PNG. The alpha channel is transferred directly to the PNG's transparency layer.
