How much smaller will my image be?

It depends on the content. Photos often shrink by 70-90% compared with PNG, while flat graphics shrink less.

Do all browsers support WebP?

Yes, all current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display WebP.

Is the conversion private?

Yes. The HTML5 Canvas API converts the image locally, so nothing is uploaded to a server.

Will converting to JPG lose quality?

JPG and WebP are lossy. Use the quality slider (90%+ is visually near-identical). PNG is lossless but larger.

What happens to transparency?

JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with a colour you choose (white by default). PNG and WebP keep transparency.

Which format should I pick?

Use PNG for logos and screenshots, JPG for photos, and WebP for the smallest web-ready files.

About PNG to WEBP

When to use it

WebP files are usually much smaller than PNG, which speeds up web pages.

What to know

WebP keeps transparency, but below 100% quality it is lossy, so use 100% when you need pixel-exact output.

Pro tip

Start at 80-90% quality and compare file sizes. Screenshots with text may need a higher setting.

PNG to WebP: faster web pages

WebP was designed for the web. A photo saved as WebP is typically 25-35% smaller than a JPG of the same quality and much smaller than a PNG, and WebP keeps transparency. Swapping PNGs for WebP is one of the simplest ways to speed up a website and improve page-speed scores.

Choose quality by content. Photos look the same at 80-85%, which gives the biggest savings. Logos, icons and screenshots with sharp text are best at 95-100%: at 100% the output is very close to the original pixels while still often smaller than PNG.

Every current browser supports WebP, but a few email clients and older desktop programs do not. Keep the original PNG if you need to send the image by email or edit it later.
