How to convert PNG to WEBP
- Add your .PNG file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .WEBP in a few seconds.
- Download your new .WEBP file.
What to expect
- Transparency is preserved - WebP has a full alpha channel, so PNG logos and graphics with transparent backgrounds convert cleanly.
- Lossless WebP is usually smaller than PNG; lossy WebP at quality 80-90 cuts file size further but can produce visible artifacts on text or hard edges.
- Not all converters copy EXIF or XMP metadata from PNG to WebP - verify the output if author or copyright data matters.
Frequently asked questions
Does WebP keep the transparent background from my PNG?
Yes. WebP has a full alpha channel, so transparent areas in the PNG remain transparent in the converted file.
Is lossless WebP always smaller than PNG?
Usually, but not always. For very simple graphics with few colors the difference can be small; for photos and complex images, lossless WebP is reliably smaller.
Can I batch-convert a folder of PNGs to WebP?
Yes - with ImageMagick run
magick mogrify -format webp *.png, or use XnConvert's batch mode for a graphical interface.Will WebP work in all browsers?
All modern browsers support WebP including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 14+. Serve a
PNG fallback if you need to support Safari 13 or Internet Explorer.Programs that convert PNG: Adobe Photoshop · Corel PaintShop Pro · TexturePacker · Adobe Photoshop for Mac · XnConvert · XnView MP · Photopea
