PNG to WebP
Convert PNG images to WebP and keep transparent backgrounds, usually with a much smaller file.
PNG to WebP converts PNG files such as screenshots, logos and graphics to the WebP format. WebP supports transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent after conversion. The result is usually much smaller than the PNG, and a quality slider lets you keep text and thin lines sharp.

- WebP compression usually reduces PNG screenshots and graphics to a fraction of their size.
- Quality control
- Set the quality from 10% to 100% depending on how much detail the image needs.
- Same dimensions
- The WebP keeps the exact width and height of the PNG.
Questions
Does PNG to WebP keep the transparent background?
Yes. WebP supports transparency, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels are kept.
Why is the WebP so much smaller than the PNG?
PNG is lossless and stores every pixel exactly. WebP here uses lossy compression, which removes detail that is hard to see and saves a lot of space.
What quality should I use for logos and screenshots?
Use 90% to 100% so that text, icons and thin lines stay sharp. For photos, 75% to 85% is usually enough.
Can I use WebP images on my website?
Yes. All current major browsers display WebP. If you also support very old browsers or apps, keep the original PNG as a fallback.
