How it works

Three simple steps, zero uploads

Convert a whole batch to WebP without sending anything to a server.

01

Drop your image

Pick a file or drag it straight in — JPG, PNG, GIF and more are all welcome.

02

Choose the quality

Slide between smaller and sharper. 80 is a great default for most photos.

03

Download your WebP

It saves straight to your device the moment it’s ready — no upload, no waiting.

Why WebP

Smaller files. Same image.

Preserves PNG alpha transparency in WebP.
Large savings on screenshots and flat-color UI assets.
Your PNGs stay on your device — nothing is uploaded.
Quality slider; 80 by default.

PNG to WebP, explained

WebP keeps PNG transparency

PNG is the go-to format for logos, icons, screenshots and anything that needs a transparent background. The good news is that WebP supports a full alpha channel too, so transparent PNGs convert to transparent WebP files with no white boxes or fringing.

Where PNG often produces large files, WebP usually makes them dramatically smaller — especially for screenshots, illustrations and UI exports with large flat areas of colour.

Lossless or lossy — your choice

PNG is always lossless, which keeps quality perfect but can mean big files. WebP can be either: keep the quality slider high (90–100) for pixel-perfect graphics and sharp text, or lower it for photographs saved as PNG to save even more space. For most screenshots, a high setting still produces a much smaller file than the original PNG.

Great for screenshots and web UI

If you publish documentation, design portfolios, or app screenshots, converting PNG to WebP can cut page weight substantially while keeping crisp edges and transparency. And because everything runs locally, even sensitive screenshots never leave your device.

FAQ

Good to know

Does WebP support transparency like PNG?

Yes. WebP supports an alpha channel, so transparent PNGs convert to transparent WebP files.

Will my PNG be smaller as WebP?

Usually significantly — especially screenshots, illustrations, and UI exports with large flat areas.

Are PNG files uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens right on your device; your files stay with you.

Should I use lossless for PNGs?

For sharp graphics, raise the quality slider toward 100. For photos saved as PNG, the default 80 gives the best size trade-off.

Does WebP keep my PNG transparency?

Yes. WebP has a full alpha channel, so transparent areas stay transparent after conversion.

Is WebP smaller than PNG?

Almost always — especially for screenshots, logos and flat-colour graphics, where WebP can be a fraction of the PNG size at the same quality.

Should I use a high quality setting for PNGs?

For sharp graphics and text, keep the slider near 90–100. For photos that happen to be saved as PNG, a lower setting saves more space with little visible difference.
