Why convert PNG to WebP?

WebP supports transparency like PNG but uses far more efficient compression. Photos saved as PNG often become 70–80% smaller, and logos, icons and UI graphics typically 25–50% smaller.

Smaller images load faster, which improves Core Web Vitals and search rankings, and reduces bandwidth costs for you and your visitors.

Keeping your folder structure

When you convert a folder, subfolders and file names are kept – only the extension changes from .png to .webp. Download everything as a ZIP, or, in Chrome and Edge, save straight into a new subfolder on your disk.

Updating your website

Because only the extension changes, updating image references is usually a find-and-replace from .png to .webp. For very old browsers you can serve WebP inside a picture element with the PNG as a fallback.

Lossy WebP for photos, high quality for graphics

At the default 82% quality, photographic PNGs shrink the most with no visible change. Flat graphics such as logos, icons and diagrams also convert well, but hard edges and small text benefit from 90% quality to stay perfectly crisp.

Not sure which applies? Convert once with the default, open a result in the comparison view and zoom in on edges and text. Apply again with a higher quality if anything looks soft.

Frequently asked questions

Does WebP keep PNG transparency?

Yes. The alpha channel is preserved, so transparent logos and icons look exactly as they should on any background.

Do all browsers support WebP?

Yes. Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari (14 and newer) and all major mobile browsers display WebP.

What quality should I use for PNG to WebP?

The default of 82% works well for photos and most graphics. For sharp UI screenshots with lots of text, try 90%.

Can WordPress and Shopify use WebP?

Yes. WordPress (5.8 and newer) and Shopify both accept WebP uploads.

Will text in screenshots stay sharp?

Yes at higher quality settings. For UI screenshots with small text, set the quality to 90% and compare in the slider before downloading.
