Key benefits
Transparency stays
A transparent PNG converted to WebP keeps its transparent pixels.
Useful for graphics
Logos, icons, and interface screenshots are typical PNG sources.
Still private
The PNG is not uploaded to create the WebP file.
PNG transparency
PNG is often used when part of the image must stay transparent. WebP can store that transparency too. This converter does not paint a background behind a PNG when the output is WebP.
If you later export that image as JPG, JPEG cannot store transparency. The WebP to JPG tool flattens transparent areas onto white.
Quality and file size
A PNG of a flat logo may already be small. Converting it to WebP will not always shrink it, and it should not be recompressed just to hit an arbitrary number.
Photographs saved as PNG are often large. WebP at a moderate quality can make those files easier to share. For a size limit, continue with compress to 100 KB.
