What to expect
Transparent pixels remain transparent in PNG when the source is a single-frame image.
PNG may be much larger than WebP because the formats use different compression methods.
Quality and file behaviour
- PNG stores the decoded pixels losslessly, although the source may already have been compressed.
- Single-frame transparency is retained in the PNG alpha channel.
- Decoded pixels are encoded as PNG; source compression artifacts cannot be reversed.
Common problems
- Animated WebP is rejected because this release does not preserve animation.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the PNG larger than the original WebP?
PNG uses lossless compression and often needs more bytes than WebP for photographic content.
Will transparent pixels remain transparent?
Yes for supported single-frame WebP images. PNG supports a full alpha channel.
