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.
PNG to WEBP keeps everything you like about PNG — sharp edges and full alpha transparency — while cutting file size by roughly a quarter to a third. WEBP supports both lossless and lossy modes, so a transparent logo stays crisp while a screenshot-heavy page gets meaningfully lighter, and every current browser renders it natively.
Use it when you are optimising a site or app and transparency is non-negotiable: app icons, diagrams, UI exports, or product shots on a transparent backdrop. The one place to stay on PNG is an older email client or a legacy desktop tool that still cannot open WEBP.
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 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.
Drop a PNG file from your device, or paste a public URL pointing to the PNG you want to convert.
The output is pre-set to WEBP.
Click Convert. Our cloud workers fetch the PNG, scan it for malware (video and audio over 1 GB are not scanned), and run the PNG → WEBP pipeline.
A download link appears as soon as the WEBP is ready; it works for anyone who has it until the file is deleted. The file is deleted from our storage two hours after it was made (longer for very large files or with a pass), normally within the next 15 minutes.
