PNG to WebP — convert PNG to smaller WebP

Options

Output is preset to WebP and the picker accepts PNG files.

Convert to

Smallest of the three almost always. Universally supported since 2020. Re-encoding also removes EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates.

Quality0.82

Lower makes a smaller file and a softer image. It starts at 0.82.

More optionsFull size, nothing resized

The one worth doing by default

WebP beats PNG on size for almost every kind of image, keeps the alpha channel, and has been supported in every major browser since 2020. For anything going on the web this is the conversion that pays, frequently halving the file.

Two caveats. WebP here is lossy by default, so a screenshot of text is better served by the lossless compressor — check the result before shipping it. And Safari has never supported WebP *encoding* from a canvas, so on Safari this page will tell you it has fallen back rather than quietly handing you a PNG with the wrong extension.

Nothing is uploaded

The conversion runs in this tab. There is no upload step, so no queue, no daily limit and no account — and you can disconnect from the network and it still works. The same engine powers theimage converter, which handles any combination and unlimited batches, and theimage compressor, which makes a file smaller without changing its format. Both sit underConverters.
