PNG to WebP and WebP to PNG converter

Convert PNG and WebP in your browser, compare both at equal dimensions, and check byte size, compatibility, and transparent edges before publishing.

About this conversion

PNG and WebP converter

This workflow is for transparent graphics and web assets. Both PNG and WebP can carry transparency, but they use different compression approaches. The better choice depends on browser support, editing needs, and the size and visual quality of the actual result.

How to convert your file

  1. 1Add a PNG or WebP image and choose the required output format.
  2. 2For WebP, select a quality level and compare the result at the size visitors will see it.
  3. 3Use maximum dimensions when the source is larger than its final page slot.
  4. 4Download the file, verify its pixel dimensions and byte size, and confirm transparency against both a light and a dark background.

Export settings

WebP quality
A value around 88–92 is a useful first test for detailed web graphics; flat graphics may need a different balance.
PNG output
Choose PNG for lossless hand-off, repeated editing, or a system that does not accept WebP.
Dimensions
Export close to the displayed dimensions to avoid sending unnecessary pixels to a website visitor.
Tone adjustments
Leave adjustments off when format conversion alone is the goal; turn them on only when you intend to change appearance.
Like-for-like check
Compare PNG and WebP at identical pixel dimensions. Record each file's byte size, inspect semi-transparent edges, and open the preferred output in the publishing system that will receive it.

Before you download

  • WebP support is broad in current browsers, but an older editor or publishing service may still reject the format.
  • A smaller extension does not guarantee a smaller file; dimensions and image content matter more than the name alone.
  • Animated PNG or WebP sequences are not preserved by this still-image workflow.

Questions and answers

Can WebP keep transparent pixels?

Yes. WebP supports alpha transparency, although you should still inspect edge pixels after conversion.

Is WebP always smaller than PNG?

No. Complex photographic content often benefits, while tiny or very simple graphics may show little saving.

Why keep a PNG master?

A lossless master is useful when you expect more editing or need to create several delivery formats later.
