This conversion goes against the usual direction, and the reason is almost always compatibility rather than quality. WebP is excellent on the web but a number of desktop applications, older image editors, and some print workflows still refuse to open it. PNG opens everywhere.
Be aware that the file will get considerably larger, often several times so. PNG is lossless, meaning it stores every pixel exactly, and it has no way to take advantage of the compression already applied to your WebP. You are trading file size for universal compatibility.
The important thing to understand is that converting to PNG cannot restore quality that WebP already discarded. If your source is a lossy WebP, the compression artefacts in it are now part of the image, and PNG will preserve them perfectly. A lossless format does not mean a repaired image — it means nothing further is lost from this point on.
Transparency carries across without any issue, so logos and cut-out images convert cleanly.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the WebP?
Because PNG is lossless and stores every pixel exactly. WebP achieved its small size by discarding information you were unlikely to notice; PNG cannot do that. Several times larger is normal and expected.
Will converting to PNG improve the image quality?
No. Quality lost during the original WebP compression is gone permanently. PNG preserves exactly what is in the WebP now, artefacts included. It prevents further loss rather than undoing past loss.
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. Both formats support a full alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent areas convert exactly.
Why would I need PNG instead of WebP?
Usually because a specific application will not open WebP — some older desktop editors, certain print and publishing tools, and a few upload forms that only accept PNG or JPEG.
