This is the conversion for a different reason than converting WebP to JPG. That one trades transparency for compatibility; this one is for when you specifically need a lossless file to keep working with — a design tool that expects PNG, a print workflow, or an image editor where you don't want every subsequent save to degrade the file further.
WebP is unusual among common formats in actually supporting two distinct modes, lossy and lossless, and the file you have could be either. A WebP saved from a website is almost always the lossy kind, tuned for small file size, and converting it to PNG cannot recover detail that was never kept in the first place — you get a lossless copy of an already-lossy image. If the source happened to be a lossless WebP, the PNG is a genuine pixel-for-pixel equivalent of it.
Transparency needs no special handling here, which is the simple part: both formats support a full alpha channel, so it maps straight across with nothing to flatten. Expect the file to grow, sometimes considerably, especially if the source had gradients or photographic detail — that is the ordinary cost of storing every pixel exactly rather than approximating it.
Quality preserved
What it cannot undo
If your WebP was saved lossy — the common case for anything downloaded from a website — the PNG inherits exactly the detail that encode kept and nothing more. PNG cannot invent back what a prior lossy save discarded. What changes from here is only the future: no further save of this file will lose anything else.

Common questions
Will converting to PNG restore quality my WebP already lost?
Only if the source was a lossless WebP to start with. Most WebP files found on the web are saved lossy for a smaller file size, and PNG has no way to reconstruct detail that isn't in the file.
Does the transparent background come through?
Yes, directly. WebP and PNG both support a full alpha channel, so there is no flattening step at all here, unlike converting to JPG.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the WebP?
PNG stores every pixel exactly rather than predicting it from its neighbours, which is expensive for gradients and photographic content specifically — the kind of image WebP was built to compress cheaply. A larger file is the expected cost of losslessness from here on.
Should I use this instead of converting WebP to JPG?
When you need to keep editing, or the destination specifically requires PNG, yes. Choose WebP to JPG only when you just need something universally viewable and don't care about transparency, since JPG would flatten it to white.
