How to convert PNG to WebP

  1. Add your PNG. Drop the file in the box, or click to choose it. It becomes WebP straight away.
  2. Check the result. Look at the preview and the size. Change quality or size if you like; the file is made again as you go.
  3. Download. Press Download to save the WebP.
Why WebP

WebP is usually far smaller than PNG and still keeps transparency, which makes it a good choice for websites.

Questions

Your browser cannot write WebP files (Safari can read them but not save them). Open this page in Chrome, Edge or Firefox.

No, it uses lossy WebP with the quality you pick, which is what makes it so small. At 90 and above the difference is very hard to see.

All current browsers can, and most current apps. Some older editors and forms cannot; for those, keep the PNG.

No. The conversion happens right in your browser, so your file stays on your device. There is no account to make, either.
