PNG to WebP

PNG to WebP means converting a PNG image into WebP format to reduce file size while keeping sharp edges and transparency when needed.

How to convert PNG to WebP

  1. Upload your PNG image above.
  2. Click Process.
  3. Download your new WebP file.

Why convert PNG to WebP?

  • Smaller files: WebP often reduces PNG size a lot, especially for large images.
  • Transparency: WebP supports transparent backgrounds like PNG.
  • Faster pages: Smaller images usually load faster and can improve Core Web Vitals.
  • Modern standard: WebP is widely supported by modern browsers.

PNG vs WebP

  • PNG: Great for logos, icons, and graphics with transparency, but can be heavy.
  • WebP: Often much smaller, still supports transparency, and works well for web delivery.

When PNG to WebP is a bad idea

  • If you need maximum compatibility with older software that doesn’t support WebP.
  • If your workflow requires PNG for editing and export steps (convert to WebP at the end).

Common issues

My WebP looks different

Some PNGs (especially gradients or images with lots of subtle colors) can look slightly different if the WebP is saved with lossy settings. For best results, keep your original PNG as a backup.

Transparency looks wrong

If your PNG had transparency, WebP should keep it. If you see a background, the original PNG may not have had transparency, or the viewer/app may not support WebP transparency properly.
