Convert WebP to PNG
This is the conversion to pick when the picture has a transparent background — a logo, an icon, a cut-out. PNG is the format that other software expects transparency to arrive in, and unlike JPEG it can actually carry it.

Logos, icons, exported artwork — anything with a background you want to stay invisible.
The transparent areas stay transparent, including edges that fade rather than stop.
One at a time, or the set as a zip.
It survives. We checked rather than assumed: a shape with an eight-pixel feathered edge, taken through WebP and back out as PNG, came back carrying 170 distinct levels of transparency. Drop shadows and anti-aliased edges come through as gradients, not as a jagged cut. The PNG is palettised, which is why the transparency lives in the file's transparency table rather than in a channel of its own — the result on screen is the same.
Because PNG stores things exactly and WebP does not have to. Expect several times the size, and more than that for a photograph. That is the price of a format everything understands; for a logo of a few kilobytes nobody will notice, and for a photograph you almost certainly wanted JPEG instead.
Transparency decides it. If any part of the picture needs to be see-through, it has to be PNG, because JPEG has no way to store that and will fill it in. If nothing is transparent — an ordinary photograph — JPEG will be far smaller and look the same.
Yes. Tick JPEG as well and each file comes back in both, in the same zip. Handy when you are not sure which the other end will accept.
