Convert PNG to WebP Online

Q: Does WebP support transparency like PNG?

Yes. WebP supports full alpha transparency, so logos and graphics with transparent backgrounds convert correctly and transparency is preserved in the output.

Q: How much smaller will my WebP file be compared to PNG?

Typically 25–35% smaller. A 200 KB PNG logo often becomes 130–150 KB WebP with no visible quality difference.

WebP replaces PNG for web use — it supports transparency (like PNG) but produces files that are 25–35% smaller. Switching logos and graphics from PNG to WebP can noticeably speed up your website.

Why convert PNG to WebP?

Smaller with transparency — unlike JPG, WebP supports alpha transparency. A logo PNG that is 80 KB often converts to a 50–60 KB WebP.
Better PageSpeed scores — Google's PageSpeed Insights flags PNG files and suggests converting to WebP.
Lossless WebP option — for graphics where you cannot afford any quality loss, lossless WebP is available (similar to PNG but smaller).

When to keep PNG

Files that will be opened in image editing software — PNG has near-universal support; WebP is still not supported in all design tools.
Print workflows — WebP is a screen format only.
Email attachments — email clients do not reliably render WebP.

85–90% — recommended default. Smaller than equivalent JPG with no visible difference.
