Frequently asked questions
Why convert PNG to WebP?
WebP keeps PNG’s transparency but produces much smaller files, which is ideal for logos, icons, and graphics on the web.
Does it keep transparency?
Yes — WebP supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas are preserved.
Lossless or lossy?
WebP offers both. Lossless keeps perfect quality; lossy shrinks the file further with little visible change.
Is it private?
Yes — everything runs in your browser with no uploads.
How much smaller is WebP than PNG?
Often 60–80% smaller for graphics and screenshots, while keeping transparency — a big win for page-load speed.
Does lossless WebP beat PNG?
Usually yes — lossless WebP is typically smaller than PNG for the same image, with no quality difference at all.
When should I keep the PNG instead?
Only when you need guaranteed compatibility with very old tools, or a pixel-exact lossless master. For the web, WebP is almost always the better choice.
Can I convert transparent PNGs?
Yes — WebP preserves the alpha channel, so transparent PNGs convert cleanly with their transparency intact.
