When to use PNG to WebP

Lighten transparent graphics

Shrink transparent PNG logos and UI assets for the web without losing the alpha channel.

Keep transparency, cut size

Unlike JPG, WebP holds transparency while still being far smaller than PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Does WebP keep the PNG's transparency?

Yes — WebP supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas are preserved.

How much space will I save?

Transparent graphics often shrink dramatically compared to PNG, though exact savings depend on the image.

Is it lossless like PNG?

WebP can be lossy or lossless; this conversion prioritises a small file at high visual quality. For pixel-perfect archival, keep the PNG.
