PNG to WebP Converter

Convert PNG images to WebP format directly in your browser. WebP typically produces smaller file sizes than PNG while preserving transparency and image quality, which can improve page load times on the web. You can also crop and rotate your image before downloading. For greater compatibility, convert your PNG file to a JPG image instead.

What is WebP and how does it compare to PNG?

WebP is an image format developed by Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression. In lossless mode, WebP files are typically 20-30% smaller than equivalent PNG files with no loss in quality. Like PNG, WebP supports alpha-channel transparency, so logos, icons, and graphics with transparent backgrounds convert cleanly.

All major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge support WebP. However, some older image editing applications and content management systems may not handle WebP natively, so it is worth checking compatibility with your target platform before converting.

Is transparency preserved when converting PNG to WebP?

Yes. WebP fully supports alpha-channel transparency, so semi-transparent pixels, soft edges, and fully transparent backgrounds are all carried over from the original PNG. This makes WebP a direct replacement for PNG in most web contexts where transparency is needed, with the added benefit of smaller file sizes.

If you instead need to convert to a format without transparency support, such as JPG, any transparent areas will be filled with a white background. For that conversion, use the PNG to JPG converter.

How do I convert a PNG image to WebP?

Click the upload area or drag and drop your PNG file onto the page. The conversion runs instantly in your browser. You can optionally crop or rotate the image before saving, then click the download button to get your WebP file.

Your image is never uploaded to a server. The entire conversion happens locally in your browser, keeping your files private. No account or payment is required.
