About this tool
WebP is built for the web. It keeps transparency like PNG, but the files are often much smaller, so pages that use them load faster. Converting large PNG screenshots, illustrations and product images to WebP is one of the quickest ways to lighten a slow website.
Pick a quality and the converter shows the new file size, so you can compare it with the original before downloading. WebP export needs a browser that can encode it, such as current Chrome, Edge or Firefox. If yours cannot, the page tells you before you start. The image never leaves your device.
Questions people ask
Does WebP keep transparency?
Yes. Transparent and semi-transparent areas of your PNG are kept in the WebP.
Which quality should I use?
Around 80 percent suits photos. For screenshots and graphics with text, try 90 percent or higher so edges stay crisp, then compare the size.
Can every browser show WebP?
All current major browsers display WebP. Some older apps and email clients do not, so keep the PNG if you need to share the image widely.
