How to convert PNG to WebP

  1. 01.

    Add your PNG images.

  2. 02.

    WebP is already selected: press Process.

  3. 03.

    Download each WebP or all of them as a ZIP.

WebP keeps transparency

Unlike JPG, WebP supports transparent backgrounds, so logos, icons, and cut-out product images keep their shape. That makes WebP the natural replacement for PNG on modern websites.

Lighter pages

Replacing large PNG files with WebP reduces the weight of a page. Convert saves at maximum quality to keep edges and text clean; use Compress afterwards to trade a little quality for an even smaller file.

PNG and WebP for graphics

Both formats keep transparency. WebP is the lighter choice for websites:

Common problems and how to fix them

  • The WebP is not much lighter

    Convert uses maximum quality to keep edges clean. Continue to Compress and try 85–90 for logos and screenshots.

  • Edges of a logo look rough

    Keep a higher quality when compressing graphics with thin lines or small text.

  • My editor cannot open the WebP

    Keep the PNG as your editable master copy and use the WebP only for publishing.

🔗 Keep going without uploading again

Preparing images for a site? PNG to WebP, then Resize to the display width and Compress, without uploading anything again.
