Why convert PNG to WebP?
PNG is perfect for graphics with transparency, but it’s lossless, so files are often far larger than they need to be on a website — especially photos or detailed illustrations saved as PNG. WebP supports the same transparency with much more efficient compression, which means faster pages and less bandwidth.
Common uses:
- Product photos with transparent backgrounds for online shops.
- Logos, badges and illustrations on landing pages.
- Screenshots in documentation and blog posts.
- Sticker and icon sets for web apps.
PNG vs WebP
| PNG | WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Compression | Lossless only | Lossy or lossless |
| Typical size | Large | Much smaller |
| Browser support | Universal | All current browsers |
| Best for | Editing, print, master files | Publishing on the web |
Keep your PNG originals as master files and publish the WebP versions.
Getting the quality right
The Quality slider defaults to 82%, a good value for photographic content. Graphics with flat colors and sharp edges are more sensitive: if you see slight blurring around text or fine lines, convert again at 90–95%. The file will still usually be lighter than the PNG.
If a PNG is a photo without transparency, PNG to JPG is another option for places where WebP isn’t accepted, such as some email clients.
Common problems
- Text looks fuzzy in the WebP. Raise the quality to 90–95% for screenshots and graphics.
- The WebP isn’t accepted by an app. Some desktop software and email clients still don’t read WebP. Keep the PNG for those, or use PNG to JPG when transparency isn’t needed.
Private and fast
Your PNGs are converted by your browser’s built-in image engine on your device. There’s no upload, so large batches go quickly and unreleased designs stay private.
