When to use WebP to PNG
A client sent over a brand asset as a WebP and wants you to retouch it in Photoshop — but Photoshop on their machine doesn't have the WebP plug-in installed. Drop the file here and your browser decodes the WebP, then Canvas writes it back out as a pixel-perfect lossless PNG. No quality is lost in the round-trip. You hand them a PNG they can open in any version of Photoshop, Affinity Photo, or GIMP without hunting for codecs. Useful when a print vendor requires PNG, when you're pulling a frame from an animated WebP to edit as a still, or when a legacy CMS upload field rejects WebP and only accepts PNG.
