PNG to WEBP

About PNG to WEBP

PNG keeps graphics pixel-perfect, but for sharing or web use it is often far larger than necessary. WEBP offers the same transparency support with dramatically smaller files. This tool converts PNG to WEBP while preserving transparency - the best of both worlds for modern browsers.

How PNG to WEBP works

1. Upload your PNG image.
2. Click Convert.
3. Download the WEBP - transparency is preserved.

Features

• Preserves PNG transparency in the much smaller WEBP format
• Ideal for logos, icons and graphics going onto a website
• Supported by all current browsers
• Keeps original pixel dimensions

Tips for best results

• Logos and icons with transparency are the ideal candidates - the file shrinks dramatically and the transparency stays.
• Test the WEBP in the destination (website, app, document) once before converting a whole batch.
• Keep the PNG master for future edits; WEBP is a delivery format.

FAQ

Does WEBP really keep the transparency?

Yes - WEBP has a full alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds survive the conversion.

When should I stay with PNG?

If the destination is older desktop software or a print pipeline that only understands PNG/JPG, keep PNG - otherwise WEBP is usually the better choice.

Lossless or lossy?

The conversion uses WEBP's standard efficient encoding, which is visually transparent for graphics at normal sizes.
