Frequently Asked Questions
What makes WebP better than PNG for the web?
WebP offers much more efficient compression. For an image with transparency, a WebP file can be significantly smaller than an equivalent PNG file without any noticeable loss in quality, making it ideal for web graphics and logos.
Is the conversion lossless? Will my image look the same?
Our tool uses high-quality lossy WebP compression by default to achieve the maximum file size reduction. For graphics and logos, the result is visually identical to the original PNG. WebP also supports a true lossless mode, but lossy provides the best balance for web performance.
Will the transparent background from my PNG be kept?
Yes, absolutely. This is one of the key features of our tool. The alpha channel (the part of the image that stores transparency information) is perfectly preserved during the conversion from PNG to WebP.
Is this tool free and safe to use?
Yes. The converter is 100% free with no limits. It's also completely safe because your images are processed on your computer and never sent over the internet to our servers, guaranteeing your privacy.
