What changes when you convert PNG to WebP
- WebP compression is lossy. You choose the quality (90 by default): lower values make smaller files but can blur fine detail and leave artifacts around text and sharp edges.
- Transparent and semi-transparent areas stay as they are in the WebP.

Frequently asked questions
Answers about converting PNG images to WebP with this free tool.
Is the WebP lossless?
No. This converter saves WebP in lossy mode at the quality you choose (90 by default), which gives much smaller files than PNG. For pixel-exact graphics such as screenshots with small text, check the result, raise the quality, or keep the PNG.
Will WebP work on my website?
All current major browsers display WebP. If you need to support very old browsers or email clients, keep a PNG or JPG version as a fallback.
Which quality setting should I choose for WebP?
The quality slider goes from 0 to 100 and starts at 90, a good balance for most images. Lower it for smaller files; raise it if you see blur or blocky artifacts around text. You can convert again with another value and compare the file sizes shown with the result.
Is the PNG to WebP converter free?
Yes, it is free and needs no account. It converts one image at a time, up to 10 MB and 25 megapixels, and adds no watermark. Images are processed for the conversion and are not stored permanently.
