How to use PNG to WebP

What is PNG to WebP?

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that uses advanced compression algorithms to produce files significantly smaller than PNG or JPG at equivalent quality. It is now supported by all major browsers, making it the recommended format for web images.

Unlike JPG, WebP supports an alpha channel, so any transparent areas in your PNG are preserved in the converted WebP file. This makes it an excellent replacement for PNG in web contexts where file size matters.

Use the quality slider to control compression aggressiveness. At 80–90 % you typically achieve 25–35 % smaller files than an equivalent PNG with no perceptible quality difference to the human eye.
