PNG to WEBP Converter

Convert a PNG into a modern WEBP image that is typically 25–35% smaller at the same quality, with transparency fully preserved. WEBP is supported in every major browser and is the standard format served by Cloudflare, Vercel, and most modern CDNs.

When to convert PNG to WEBP

  • Cut image weight on a marketing or product site
  • Replace heavy PNG screenshots in a blog post
  • Ship transparent app icons without the PNG file-size penalty

About the PNG and WEBP formats

PNG

PNG is a lossless image format with full alpha transparency. It is the default for screenshots, logos, UI mockups, and anything with sharp edges or text. PNG files are much larger than JPG for the same photo content — use PNG for graphics and transparent overlays, JPG for photographs.

WEBP

WEBP is Google’s modern image format that supports both lossy and lossless compression plus animation and transparency. At identical visual quality WEBP files are typically 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG, which is why every major CDN now serves WEBP. Older email clients and a few legacy apps still cannot open it.

How to convert PNG to WEBP

  1. Upload or paste a PNG link

    Drop a PNG file from your device, or paste a public URL pointing to the PNG you want to convert.

  2. Confirm WEBP as the output format

    The output is pre-set to WEBP. You can adjust quality or bitrate in the advanced options if you need a smaller file.

  3. Start the conversion

    Click Convert. Our cloud workers fetch the PNG, scan it for malware, and run the PNG → WEBP pipeline.

  4. Download your WEBP file
