PNG to WebP Converter
Convert PNG images to WebP while preserving transparency — right in your browser, with a quality slider.
Convert PNG images to WebP and keep transparency intact. WebP often produces noticeably smaller files than PNG, which speeds up page loads without changing how the image looks. Everything happens locally in your browser, so your file is never uploaded.
How to Use PNG to WebP Converter
- Choose a PNG image from your device.
- Adjust the quality slider if needed.
- Click Convert to WebP, then download the result.
Key Features
- Converts PNG to WebP instantly in your browser
- Preserves transparency (alpha channel)
- Adjustable quality slider (10–100%)
- Shows original size, new size and percentage saved
- No upload — processing happens on your device
Who It's Useful For
- Designers exporting icons or logos with transparent backgrounds
- Web developers optimizing PNG assets for faster sites
- Bloggers shrinking transparent graphics before publishing
- Anyone who wants smaller PNGs without losing transparency

Tips for Better Results
- Transparency is preserved automatically — no extra steps needed
- If the output still looks large, try lowering the quality slightly; WebP compresses semi-transparent areas well
- Keep a PNG original if you need maximum compatibility with very old tools
FAQ
Does converting to WebP keep my image's transparent background?
Yes. Transparent areas in the PNG stay transparent in the WebP output.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Why is my WebP file not much smaller than the PNG?
Some images, especially simple graphics with few colors, compress similarly in both formats. Photos typically see bigger savings.
