About PNG to WebP conversion
WebP is Google's modern image format that offers better compression than PNG while supporting transparency. For lossless images, WebP is about 26% smaller than PNG. With lossy compression (adjustable quality), WebP can be dramatically smaller while still looking great. All modern browsers support WebP.
When to convert PNG to WebP
You have PNG images for a website or web app and want them to load faster. WebP offers the best compression while keeping transparency that PNG is known for.
This tool converts your PNG to WebP at the quality level you choose. Quality 85 is a good starting point that offers significant size reduction with minimal visible difference.
WebP is ideal for web use. For sharing images via email or with apps that don't support WebP, PNG remains more universally compatible.
