Questions
Does the PNG keep the WebP's transparency?
Yes. PNG stores transparency, so transparent and semi-transparent areas come through as they are.
What happens to an animated WebP?
Only the first frame is converted, so the PNG is a still image.
Why is the PNG larger than the WebP?
PNG is lossless, so a photo stored as lossy WebP grows when converted. Converting does not bring back detail the WebP left out.
