How to Convert PNG to WebP
Add your PNG files.
Drag .png images onto the box above or press Choose images; add as many as you like, each up to 100 MB.
Pick lossy or lossless.
WebP is already set for every file. Keep Quality at 90 for photos, or switch on Lossless under Advanced for screenshots and logos, then press Convert All.
Save your WebP images.
Download each file on its own, or use Download All to get one ZIP when you have two or more. Your PNG files stay as they were.
PNG vs WebP: What Changes
Understanding the differences between PNG and WebP helps you choose the right format for your needs.
| Specification | PNG | WebP |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless | Lossy/Lossless |
| Quality | Excellent | Excellent |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | No | Yes |
| File Size | Medium to Large | Small |
Why convert from PNG?
- Larger file sizes than JPG
- Not ideal for photographs
- Limited browser support for advanced features
Why choose WebP?
- Superior compression efficiency
- Supports both lossy and lossless compression
- Transparency and animation support
When to use PNG
When you need transparency, lossless quality, or working with graphics and logos.
When to use WebP
When optimizing for modern web performance and you can provide fallbacks for older browsers.
PNG to WebP: Smaller Files, Same Transparency
Turn PNG logos, screenshots and photos into WebP with a Quality slider, a Lossless switch and one ZIP for the whole batch. No account or watermark.

Bulk PNG to WebP, Transparency Kept
Drop a set of PNG logos, icons or cutouts and press Convert All once. Each WebP keeps its see-through background and soft edges, and Download All saves the batch as one ZIP.
- Transparent areas stay see-through
- No daily cap on files
- Two or more files download as ZIP

Shrink PNG Files With WebP
Each tile shows the old size next to the new one. In our test, a 14.17 MB photo PNG became a 546.34 KB WebP at Quality 90, and 263.25 KB at Quality 75.
- Old and new size on every file
- Quality slider from 1 to 100
- Width and height stay the same
Lossless WebP for Screenshots
Switch on Lossless under Advanced for text, charts and UI. Our 1440 by 900 screenshot fell from 54.66 KB to 15.03 KB that way, and no color moved by more than 1 out of 255.
PNG to WebP: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about converting PNG graphics to WebP format.
How do I convert PNG to WebP for free?
Drop your PNG files in the box at the top of this page; WebP is already picked as the output. Press Convert All, then download each WebP or all of them as one ZIP. There is no sign-up and no watermark.
Does converting PNG to WebP lose quality?
At the default Quality of 90, WebP is lossy: photos look the same, but small text and thin lines can soften a little. Switch on Lossless under Advanced and no color moves by more than 1 out of 255 against your PNG, a change you can't see.
Should I pick lossy or lossless WebP for my PNG?
Use Lossless for screenshots, logos and drawings with text: our 1440 by 900 screenshot shrank by 72% that way. Use lossy for photos: a 14.17 MB photo PNG became 546.34 KB at Quality 90, but 8.94 MB as lossless.
Can I convert PNG to WebP without losing transparency?
Yes. WebP keeps the alpha channel in both modes, so see-through backgrounds and soft edges stay. In our test, a 1.52 MB product cutout kept every one of its 667,519 clear pixels and came out at 64.58 KB at Quality 90.
Why did my small PNG get bigger as WebP?
Tiny, flat graphics can grow with lossy WebP. A 1.15 KB test graphic of 200 by 150 pixels became 2.91 KB at Quality 90 but only 724 Bytes with Lossless on. The tile shows a plus sign and the percent when a file grows.
Is there a size limit for PNG to WebP?
Each PNG can be up to 100 MB. WebP itself can't go past 16,383 pixels on either side, so a very wide banner or long scroll capture fails with a general error. Make it smaller in Resize first, or pick AVIF in the format menu.
Can I convert PNG to WebP in bulk?
Yes. Add as many PNGs as your device can handle, with no daily cap, and they convert one after another. PNGs you add later with Add More Files start as JPG, so set those to WebP before you press Convert All.
Does an animated PNG stay animated as WebP?
No. The converter reads only the first frame of an animated PNG (APNG), and the file tile gives no warning. If you have the animation as a GIF, our GIF to WebP converter keeps every frame.
Does PNG to WebP keep color profiles and metadata?
The color profile stays: our Display P3 test PNG kept it with Strip metadata on, the default. Text notes, dates and other metadata are removed. A 16-bit PNG is saved with 8 bits per channel, the most WebP can hold.
Why use WebP instead of PNG?
WebP files are usually far smaller and still support transparency, which helps page speed. PNG opens in more places, though, and some apps and upload forms still refuse WebP. Keep your original PNGs; our WebP to PNG converter turns a WebP back.
Is it safe to convert PNG to WebP on this site?
Yes. A worker inside this browser tab turns your PNGs into WebP, and they are not sent to our servers. The page fetches its 14 MB image engine on first use. Our analytics count page views and editor time, never file names or pictures.
