Overview

``text PNG to WebP converts your PNG images to WebP, a smaller modern format that keeps transparency. Choose lossy (quality 80 by default) for the smallest files, or tick Lossless Mode to keep every pixel exactly. Convert a batch and download them as a ZIP — all in your browser, nothing uploaded. ``

```text PNG is lossless and supports transparency, which makes it great for logos and graphics — but the files are often large. WebP gives you the same transparency in a much smaller file, which is why it's the preferred format for graphics on fast websites. You can even keep WebP fully lossless and still come out smaller than the original PNG.

This converter works entirely in your browser, so your images never get uploaded. Drop in your PNGs, choose lossy or lossless, and download the WebP files — individually or as a single ZIP. ```

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting PNG to WebP keep transparency?

Yes. WebP supports an alpha channel, so a PNG with a transparent background stays transparent after conversion — in both lossy and lossless modes. This is the main advantage of WebP over JPG for graphics and logos: you get a much smaller file without losing the see-through areas you need. Nothing about the transparency is flattened or filled.

What's the difference between lossy and lossless mode?

Lossy mode (the default, around quality 80) discards a little data to make the file as small as possible, with a difference that's usually invisible. Lossless Mode keeps every pixel exactly, which matters for crisp logos, text, or flat-colour graphics. Lossy gives the smallest files; lossless gives perfect fidelity — and even lossless WebP is typically smaller than the original PNG.

Is WebP smaller than PNG?

Almost always, yes. Lossy WebP can be a small fraction of a PNG's size, and even lossless WebP is usually meaningfully smaller, because its compression is more modern and efficient than PNG's. That's why WebP is recommended for graphics on websites — you keep the quality and transparency of PNG while loading far less data.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The converter runs entirely in your browser, so your PNGs are processed on your own device and never sent anywhere. Nothing is stored once you close the tab. That keeps personal or proprietary graphics private, and conversion is fast because there's no upload — the only limit is your device's speed.

What quality setting should I use?

For lossy conversion, 80 is a sensible default — small files with no visible loss for most graphics and photos. Drop lower for backgrounds or non-critical images where size matters most; raise it toward 90 for images with fine detail or gradients. If exact fidelity is essential, skip the slider and use Lossless Mode instead.

Can I convert several PNGs at once?

Yes. Drag in a whole batch of PNGs and the tool converts them all locally. When they're ready, click "Download ZIP" to save the entire set in one folder, or download files individually. "Clear All" resets the workspace for a new batch. There's no cap beyond your device's memory, so it handles folders of graphics easily.

When should I use lossless mode?

Use Lossless Mode when the image must stay pixel-perfect — logos with sharp edges, icons, screenshots, diagrams, or any graphic with text and flat colours. In those cases even slight lossy artefacts can look bad. For photographs or large background images, lossy at quality 80 is usually the better trade-off because the file is much smaller and the loss is invisible.

Do all browsers support WebP?

Yes. Every major modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari — supports WebP, so you can use it across the web with confidence. Only very old browsers lack support, in which case a PNG or JPG fallback covers them. For today's devices and browsers, WebP displays everywhere.

Will the conversion lose quality?

In lossy mode there's a small, usually invisible loss in exchange for a much smaller file. In Lossless Mode there's no quality loss at all — the pixels are preserved exactly, just stored more efficiently than PNG. So you choose: maximum size savings with lossy, or perfect fidelity with lossless, both keeping transparency.

Does the converter work on a phone?

Yes. It runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, so you can convert PNGs to WebP directly on Android or iOS. Small batches convert quickly; very large or high-resolution sets use more memory and are smoother on a laptop, but everyday conversions work fine on a modern phone.

Can I resize the images here too?

No — this tool focuses on converting PNG to WebP with quality and lossless controls; it doesn't change pixel dimensions. If you want to resize, use the Image Resizer first to set the dimensions, then convert to WebP here. Combining a smaller size with the WebP format gives the leanest possible web images.

Do I need to install any software?

No. There's nothing to download or install and no account to create. The converter runs in any modern web browser, on any operating system, so you don't need a desktop image editor or a separate app. Just open the page, add your PNG files, choose your mode, and convert.
