- Keep the PNG masterKeep the original PNG in case you need a lossless version later.
How the conversion works
The PNG is decoded in your browser and drawn onto a canvas that keeps its transparent pixels, then re-encoded as WebP at the quality you choose. Because no background is added, transparent areas stay transparent in the WebP.
Supported formats and browser compatibility
Input is a standard PNG, including transparent PNGs. WebP with transparency is supported in all current browsers and most modern sites. Software that predates WebP may not open the file, so keep the PNG if you still need to support it.
Limitations and quality notes
This uses lossy WebP with a quality control, which suits photos and detailed graphics. For sharp logos or text, keep the quality high so edges stay crisp. If you need a fully lossless result, keep the original PNG. Files up to 30MB are supported.
Privacy and local processing
The PNG is read and converted locally in your browser, with nothing uploaded to a server or saved. This matters for client artwork and unreleased graphics, which never leave your device.
