Download the WebP versions

Each image comes back as a WebP file, ready to download, and the PNG files you dropped stay unchanged.

PNG or WebP on a Website

PNG is lossless, which makes photos and large graphics heavy on a web page. WebP compresses them, usually to a fraction of the PNG size, and unlike JPG it can keep a transparent background, so a logo or a cut-out still sits cleanly on any color.

The conversion is lossy at its default high quality: photos look the same, while very fine lines and small text can soften a little. For pixel-exact graphics such as screenshots of text, keep the PNG, or ask for a higher quality in the request.

Everything happens in your browser, with its own encoder. WebP is offered only when your browser can write a real WebP file. Hidden details such as the location are not copied into the new files.

  • WebP copies that keep transparency
  • The expected size of every image first
  • Several images converted at once
  • A quality you can set for the WebP
  • Free, with no sign-up and no watermark

PNG to WebP: Questions and Answers

01

Will my transparent background stay transparent?

Yes. WebP supports transparency, so the see-through parts of a PNG logo, icon or cut-out remain see-through in the WebP.

02

How much smaller will the WebP be?

That depends on the picture. Photos and gradients usually shrink the most, flat graphics with few colors less, and the size shown for each image before converting tells you what to expect.

03

Why might WebP be missing from the choices?

Displaying WebP and writing it are different browser capabilities. If WebP cannot be written, keep PNG or choose JPG instead; the converter refuses to label a different format as WebP.

04

Do I need to sign up or install anything?

No. It works in a modern web browser on a computer or a phone, with no account to create, nothing to install and no watermark on the result.

05

Does it change the file I drop?

No. Every result is saved as a new file, and the file you dropped stays exactly as it was.
