CloudConverterConvert PNG to WebP to shrink images for your website. WebP files are often noticeably smaller than PNG while still supporting transparency.
PNG vs WebP: what changes
PNG is lossless and exact, which is why its files are large. WebP can compress much harder and keeps transparency, so it is a common choice for web graphics, logos and screenshots on pages where load time matters. Every current major browser can display WebP.
When to convert PNG to WebP
Use it for images on your own website or blog, product pictures, and any page where smaller images mean faster loading.
Before you convert
WebP is not accepted everywhere. Some older editors, email programs and upload forms cannot open it, so keep your original PNG for those cases.
Tips for converting PNG to WebP
Check the converted image on your page before you replace all of your PNGs, and keep the original PNGs as masters. Large photos usually gain the most, while small icons save little.
Convert PNG to WebP on any device
Open this page on your computer, choose your PNG and download the WebP, then upload it to your website or content system. Current versions of WordPress accept WebP uploads, and most modern website builders do too. On a phone the steps are the same: pick the image from your gallery or Files app.
Frequently asked questions
