About the formats

PNG, lossless images with transparency

PNG stores images losslessly: every pixel stays exactly the same, and it supports a transparent background.

Strengths: Great for screenshots, logos, charts and any image with text or sharp edges.

Limits: For photographs it is much larger than a JPG or a WebP.

WebP, Google’s lightweight web format

WebP is a Google format designed for the web, with lossy or lossless compression and transparency.

Strengths: It is noticeably smaller than JPG and PNG at similar quality, so pages load faster.

Limits: Some editing apps, older viewers and upload forms still do not accept it.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PNG uploaded to a server to turn it into WebP?

No. The PNG to WebP conversion runs entirely in your browser, with code downloaded from this site and executed on your device. You can check it in the Network tab of the developer tools or by going offline after the page loads.

Do I lose quality converting PNG to WebP?

A little: WebP uses lossy compression. At the default quality the difference is not visible to the naked eye, and you can raise it in the options for maximum quality.

Is there a size limit?

Your device’s memory sets the limit: on desktop, images up to about 100 megapixels; on mobile, up to 16.7. If an image is too large you are told before it starts.

Can I convert several PNG files at once?

Yes. Drop as many PNG files as you like: several are converted at the same time, depending on your processor cores, and when they finish you can download each WebP or all of them in a ZIP.
