How to convert PNG to WebP
- Upload your PNG image by dropping it on the box above or clicking to browse.
- Adjust quality to balance file size against sharpness — higher quality means a slightly larger file.
- Convert to WebP. The tool re-encodes your image and shows the new file size before you save.
- Download the WebP file. Transparency is preserved throughout.
Why convert PNG to WebP?
WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than PNG at similar quality, keeps transparency, and speeds up page loads — which is good for both SEO and conversions. Note that some older software does not open WebP; if you need maximum compatibility, use the PNG to JPG converter instead. To shrink your files even further, use the image compressor.
Frequently asked questions
Does PNG to WebP keep transparency?
Yes. WebP supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas stay transparent.
Is WebP smaller than PNG?
Usually much smaller at the same visual quality, which is why it is popular for the web.
Where is WebP not supported?
All modern browsers support it, but some older desktop apps and marketplaces do not; convert to JPG or PNG there.

No. Everything runs in your browser via the HTML canvas.
