WEBM to PNG24 Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
WebM Video and PNG (24-bit Truecolor) exist for different jobs: WebM is Google’s royalty-free web video format (VP8/VP9 + Opus). It is small, streams beautifully, and every modern browser plays it natively. Convert PNG24 images like any PNG — to JPG for photos, WebP for the web.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the WEBM format
WebM is Google's royalty-free video format for the web: a Matroska subset carrying VP8/VP9/AV1 video with Vorbis/Opus audio. YouTube serves most non-premium playback in VP9 WebM, and HTML5 `<video>` plays it natively in every modern browser — no licensing math required.
Efficiency is the selling point: VP9 and AV1 match or beat H.264/HEVC at the same quality for typical web content. Hardware decode is now widespread, though older Safari versions and some TVs remain the compatibility floor.
+ Strengths
- ✓Royalty-free codecs (VP9/AV1, Opus)
- ✓Native HTML5 video support
- ✓Efficient at web bitrates
! Limitations
- −Weaker support on older Safari/TVs
- −Not the default for camera or editor workflows
About the PNG24 format
PNG was created in 1996 as a free, open replacement for the patent-encumbered GIF, and it has been the reference lossless image format ever since. Pixels are compressed with the DEFLATE algorithm (the same one inside ZIP files), which reproduces the original image exactly — bit-for-bit — while supporting full 8-bit or 16-bit alpha transparency. Screenshots, logos, icons, charts and anything with text or sharp edges should live in PNG.
Because it never discards information, PNG files of photographs are several times larger than JPG — that is the price of perfection. Modern PNG encoders add filters per scanline that make screenshots and flat-color graphics compress surprisingly well. PNG also became the base of APNG, the animation extension that browsers play natively.
+ Strengths
- ✓Truly lossless — every pixel survives exactly as it was
- ✓Full alpha transparency with smooth edges, not 1-bit masks
- ✓Open standard, unpatented, with excellent tooling everywhere
- ✓Ideal for text, line art and flat-color graphics — sharp edges stay sharp
! Limitations
- −Photographs become several times larger than JPG
- −Base format has no animation (that is the APNG extension)
- −16-bit or high-resolution PNGs can grow very heavy
Why convert WEBM to PNG24?
There is a concrete reason this conversion exists: Weaker support on older Safari/TVs PNG24 sidesteps that — Truly lossless — every pixel survives exactly as it was If that is your situation, the tool above settles it in seconds, entirely on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this WEBM to PNG24 converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will I lose quality converting WEBM to PNG24?
No — PNG24 is a lossless format, so every pixel of the converted image matches your original WEBM file. You can also adjust the quality/size balance before converting when the target format supports compression.
Will the audio track be kept?
Yes. The audio is carried over and re-encoded to the standard audio codec of PNG24, staying in sync with the video. If your WEBM file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
Does converting WEBM to PNG24 re-encode my video?
Yes. The video is decoded and re-encoded with the settings chosen by the quality slider, which is what allows the format and size to change. For an archival copy, keep higher quality; for sharing, lower quality gives a much smaller file.
