PNG to WebP Converter

Convert PNG to WebP

Converting PNG to WebP is one of the simplest ways to make a website lighter. WebP files are usually smaller than PNG, load faster for visitors, and still support transparency, so logos and graphics keep their clean edges.

Better page speed with the same look

Images are often the heaviest part of a page. Smaller files help the main content appear sooner, especially on mobile connections, and that can improve both user experience and search performance. WebP is supported by all current major browsers.

Where to keep PNG

Keep the PNG for editing and archives, and publish the WebP. A few older programs, print services and some email tools do not handle WebP, so use PNG or JPG for anything that leaves the web.

How to switch a whole site to WebP

Convert your images in batches of up to 20, replace the files in your media library or build folder, and update the file extensions in your pages. If you want to be careful, publish WebP with a PNG fallback using a picture element, so the rare visitor whose software lacks WebP support still sees the graphic. Check the result with your browser's network tab to confirm the savings.

Good to know about PNG to WebP

• Transparent backgrounds are preserved in the WebP.
• Test your pages after replacing images: a few older apps still ignore WebP.
• For photographs, WebP gives the biggest savings over PNG.
