Why convert PNG to WEBP?
PNG is lossless, which makes photos stored as PNG much larger than they need to be. WebP makes images noticeably smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality, so pages load faster.
What changes when you convert PNG to WEBP
- WEBP files are usually noticeably smaller than PNG files for the same image.
- WEBP uses lossy compression. At the default quality (85) the difference is invisible for most images; raise it for maximum fidelity or lower it for smaller files.
- Transparency is preserved: WEBP supports an alpha channel.
- WEBP images can be at most 16,383 pixels wide or high; larger images are scaled down automatically.

PNG to WEBP: questions & answers
Is converting PNG to WEBP free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Will I lose quality converting PNG to WEBP?
WEBP is a lossy format, so a small amount of detail is traded for size. At quality 85–95 the difference is not visible for typical images. You can raise the quality in Settings.
Can I convert multiple PNG files at once?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like; they are converted in parallel and can be downloaded individually or as a single ZIP.
Are my PNG files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser, so your images never leave your device.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The converter works in current versions of Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Very large images may exceed the memory available to mobile browsers.
Should I use PNG or JPG?
Use JPG for photographs and PNG for graphics with sharp edges, text, flat colours or transparency. A photo saved as PNG is lossless but usually far larger.
