About PNG to WEBP

PNG is the usual choice for logos, icons and screenshots because it keeps transparency, but the files are heavy. WEBP keeps the alpha channel too and is normally far smaller, which makes it the better format for the same assets on a website. Conversion uses your browser's own encoder, so the graphics stay on your computer throughout.

How to use PNG to WEBP

  1. Add your PNG logos, icons or screenshots.
  2. Keep Convert to on WEBP; no background colour is asked for, because WEBP supports transparency.
  3. Choose Quality; 90% and above keeps sharp edges on text and logos clean.
  4. Click Convert to WEBP and download the files or the ZIP.

What people use it for

  • Replacing heavy PNG logos and interface icons on a website with much lighter files.
  • Serving transparent product cut-outs on a store page without slowing it down.
  • Packing documentation or help centre screenshots at a fraction of the size.
  • Fitting more images into a limited hosting or CDN allowance.

Good to know

Transparency carries over, including the soft partial transparency around rounded corners and shadows. The Quality slider applies lossy WEBP compression; this tool does not write lossless WEBP, so flat graphics with hard edges should be converted at 90% or higher. Savings against the original PNG are usually 30% to 70%.

Frequently asked questions

Does WEBP keep the transparent background?
Yes. WEBP has a full alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels survive the conversion exactly as they were in the PNG.
Is the conversion lossless?
No. This tool writes lossy WEBP at the quality you select. For logos and flat-colour graphics set the slider to 90% or higher so the edges stay clean.
Will older browsers show the image?
Anything from the last few years will. Internet Explorer and Safari before iOS 14 will not, so keep the PNG as a fallback if those visitors matter to you.
