When this tool is useful
Create a WebP version of a PNG image. The right choice depends on what is actually wrong with the image. If the dimensions are correct but the file is too heavy, start with compression. If the image is physically larger than the destination needs, resizing can remove unnecessary pixels. If another system requires a different file type, conversion is the appropriate step.
How it works
The core operation runs in your browser using the selected file and the browser's image and Canvas capabilities. The generated result is offered as a local download. This design is intended to avoid a server-side image upload for the core operation.
Common questions
Why convert PNG to WebP?
WebP can often make web images smaller while preserving good visual quality. It can be useful when page weight matters.
Does WebP support transparency?
Yes. WebP can represent transparency, so converting a transparent PNG does not automatically require adding a background.
Is WebP always smaller than PNG?
No. Results depend on the image, encoding settings and whether the source is already optimized.
