FAQ
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. Both PNG and WebP support an alpha channel, so transparent areas come through intact. This is the main advantage over WebP to JPG, which fills transparency with white.
Will the PNG be bigger?
Usually, and often by a lot. WebP compresses considerably better than PNG, so a 2–5× size increase is common. If you need neither transparency nor lossless encoding, JPG will be much smaller.
When should I choose PNG over JPG?
When you need transparency, or when the image is an icon, screenshot, or line art — content with flat colour and sharp edges. PNG stores those losslessly without the edge noise JPG introduces. For photographs, JPG is the better fit.
You choose PNG to keep transparency
The key difference between converting WebP to JPG and to PNG is the transparent background. JPG has no alpha channel and fills transparency with white; PNG, like WebP, supports it and preserves it through the conversion. So if the WebP you saved from a page is a transparent icon, sticker, or logo, and you need it in software that does not support WebP, convert to PNG rather than JPG — otherwise those clean transparent edges gain a white box.
The cost is a larger file
WebP compresses noticeably better than PNG, so the same image commonly grows 2–5× when converted to PNG. That is the price of PNG's lossless nature. The decision is therefore clear: convert to PNG when you need transparency or lossless storage for later editing; if you just want a portable format and do not care about transparency, JPG will be far smaller. Icons, screenshots, and line art — content with flat colour and sharp edges — suit PNG especially well, since PNG does not add the edge noise JPG produces around text.
