ToolRun How to convert PNG to WebP
- Drop one or more PNG files into the box above, or click to select them.
- WebP is already selected as the output format. Adjust the quality slider if you want smaller files.
- Click Download next to each converted file.
The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to a server, so this is safe for personal photos and private documents.
Why convert PNG to WebP?
Convert PNG to WebP to shrink graphics and screenshots for the web while keeping transparency. WebP supports transparent backgrounds like PNG, but usually in a smaller file, which makes pages load faster.
Quality setting: WebP is lossy, so use the quality slider to trade file size against sharpness. 85–90% is a good default for photos.
PNG vs WebP
PNG uses lossless compression, so every pixel is kept exactly, and it supports transparency. That makes it ideal for screenshots, logos, and graphics with text, but photos saved as PNG are usually much larger than JPG.
WebP is a format developed by Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression plus transparency. WebP images are typically smaller than equivalent JPG or PNG files, and all current major browsers support them, but some older software, editors, and upload forms still do not accept WebP.
