PNG to WebP Converter
If a PNG is headed for a website, WebP is usually the leaner way to ship it. Every modern browser opens WebP, and the same image typically lands in a noticeably smaller file with no visible difference. Drop the PNG here and get a web-ready WebP back.
What it converts
- In: PNG, plus HEIC and HEIF, AVIF, TIFF, BMP, JPG, and WebP
- Out: WebP here, with PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, and GIF also available in the studio
- WebP supports transparency, so nothing forces you to flatten a see-through PNG
- Files up to 20 MB per image
- One image at a time today, so keep your PNG master and ship the WebP copy
Why WebP for the web
WebP was designed for exactly one job: making images cheaper to send over the wire. For most pictures it reaches the same visual quality as PNG or JPG in fewer bytes, and the big sites noticed years ago. If you run a blog, a shop, or any page where images are the heaviest thing on it, converting your PNGs is one of the easiest weight cuts available.
When to stay with PNG
WebP is a delivery format, not necessarily an archive format. Keep PNG when the file is your editing master, when a platform or uploader refuses WebP, or when the graphic is already tiny and the savings would be pocket change. A sensible workflow is both: PNG in your project folder, WebP on the page.
The compatibility fine print
Inside a browser, WebP is a solved problem. Outside one, it is patchier: some email clients, older design tools, and strict upload forms still want PNG or JPG. If a recipient ever complains, the WebP to PNG converter undoes the trip in one drop.

PNG to WebP, answered
How much smaller will my WebP be?
It varies with the image. Photos and soft gradients tend to see the biggest savings, while tiny flat graphics that PNG already compresses well may only trim a little. The reliable pattern is that WebP rarely comes out bigger, and for photographic content the difference is usually worth the trip.
Do all browsers support WebP?
Every current major browser does: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all open WebP natively. The holdouts are very old browsers and some desktop apps, email clients, and upload forms outside the browser, which is exactly why the reverse converter exists too.
Does WebP keep transparency?
Yes, WebP supports an alpha channel, so moving from PNG to WebP does not force you to flatten anything the way JPG would. Logos and cutouts stay see-through.
Is the PNG to WebP converter free?
Free to start. A conversion costs 1 buttery pat, every visitor gets 5 free pats a day, and you can churn a refill when you run out. No sign in, and uploads delete within 24 hours.
