  2. 2Your browser converts it to WebP locally — transparency preserved
  3. 3Click 'Download WebP' and get your web-optimized image

WebP is typically 25-35% smaller than PNG at equivalent visual quality, with full transparency support. Converting PNG to WebP is one of the easiest web performance wins — smaller images load faster and use less bandwidth.

Our PNG to WebP converter runs entirely in your browser. Your PNG is decoded, rendered onto a Canvas, and exported as WebP at 92% quality. No upload. No account. The entire process takes under a second on modern hardware.

Transparency: PNG transparency is fully preserved in the WebP output. Logos, icons, and UI graphics with transparent backgrounds convert perfectly.

Browser support: WebP is supported in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). For maximum compatibility with older browsers or non-browser applications, JPG or PNG remain the safer choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller will the WebP be compared to the PNG?⌄
Typically 25-35% smaller for lossless WebP, or 60-80% smaller for lossy WebP. Our converter uses lossy WebP at 92% quality, which gives excellent visual quality at significantly reduced file size.
Is WebP supported everywhere?⌄
WebP is supported in all modern browsers as of 2024. However, some older applications, printing services, and non-browser software don't support it. For those use cases, PNG or JPG are safer.
Does PNG to WebP preserve transparency?⌄
Yes. WebP supports alpha channel transparency, so any transparent areas in your PNG will be preserved in the WebP output.
Is it really free? Are there any limits?⌄
Yes, completely free with no limits. You can convert as many files as you want, as large as your device's memory allows. We don't have a server to run, so we have no reason to charge or impose limits.
Do you upload my files to your server?⌄
No. All conversions happen locally in your browser using the browser's built-in image APIs. Your files never leave your device. We do not have servers that process files — by design, not by promise.
What is the maximum file size?⌄
There is no hard limit set by us. The only constraint is your device's available memory. Most modern devices handle files up to several hundred megabytes without any issues.
Do I need to create an account?⌄
No account required. We don't have a user system. Open the page, drop your file, download the result — that's it.
