PNG to WebP Converter

Modern web standard — small files with transparency.

90%

Conversion runs entirely in your browser — your image never leaves your device.

PNG to WebP Converter

PNG screenshots and graphics are usually far heavier than they need to be. Converting to WebP typically cuts the file by a quarter to a half while keeping transparency — and every modern browser displays WebP natively. Drop a PNG below, pick a quality level, and compare sizes before you download.

Smaller Files, Same Look

WebP's modern compression handles flat colors, text and gradients noticeably better than PNG's older algorithm. At the default quality of 90 the visual difference is imperceptible for screenshots, logos and interface graphics — but the bytes saved add up fast on image-heavy pages.

The converter shows a live before/after size comparison, so you can slide quality down until the trade-off suits you. For web performance work, WebP is the safest first win.

Transparency Stays Intact

Unlike JPEG, WebP keeps the alpha channel. Logos, icons and cut-out graphics convert with their transparent backgrounds untouched — one of the main reasons WebP replaced PNG across the modern web.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller is WebP than PNG?

Typically 25–50% smaller at quality 90 for screenshots and UI graphics. Flat-color images shrink the most; photographs are usually better served by JPEG or AVIF.

Do all browsers support WebP?

All current browsers do — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari (since version 14, 2020). Only very old installations can't display it.

Is the conversion lossless?

WebP supports both lossy and lossless modes; this tool encodes lossy WebP at your chosen quality. At 90+ the difference from the source PNG is visually undetectable for typical graphics.

Does transparency survive conversion?

Yes. WebP keeps the alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds in logos and cut-outs are preserved exactly.
