Convert WebP to PNG
on iPhone, privately.

Long-press a web image and iOS often saves it as WebP, a format plenty of older apps and Windows tools still refuse to open. Filemorph turns it back into a widely-supported PNG on your iPhone, transparency and all.

Filemorph converting a WebP image to PNG on iPhone

Saving an image from Safari or a messaging app frequently produces a WebP file, and while modern software handles that fine, plenty of design tools, older Windows machines and some printing services still expect PNG or JPG. WebP images with transparent backgrounds — stickers, logos, cutouts — are the ones that cause the most friction when a recipient cannot open them.

Filemorph decodes the WebP with ImageIO, including its alpha channel if present, and re-encodes it as a standard PNG. Because PNG is lossless, nothing about the image changes beyond the container format — the pixels the WebP already had are what you get back.

In the app: Convert → To PNG.

Why convert WebP to PNG?

PNG is the format almost everything accepts: every design tool, every version of Windows and macOS, every print shop. Convert to PNG when you need to hand a WebP image to someone whose software might not open it, or when transparency needs to survive a trip through an older editor.

Is it private?

Yes. Unlike web converters that upload your files to a server, Filemorph converts every file locally using Apple's frameworks. Nothing leaves your device, and it works with no internet connection. This conversion is in the free tier.

FAQ

WebP → PNG — common questions.

Why won't my WebP file open on my computer? +

Some older apps and versions of Windows do not support WebP natively. Converting to PNG solves that without changing the image.

Does the transparent background survive? +

Yes, if the WebP had transparency, it carries over to the PNG exactly, since PNG also supports an alpha channel.

Is WebP to PNG free? +

Yes, it is in Filemorph's free tier.
