Shrink PNG files up to 80% by converting to WebP.
About PNG to WebP
PNG to WebP is a free online tool. Shrink PNG files up to 80% by converting to WebP. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install, no account to create and no watermark added to your result.
Why convert PNG to WEBP? PNG is lossless and supports transparency, so it keeps text, logos and screenshots perfectly sharp, but photos saved as PNG are often large. WebP is a modern format that usually produces smaller files than both PNG and JPG while supporting transparency, and it is supported by all current browsers.
How to use PNG to WebP
- Click the upload area or drag your PNG image onto it.
- Press the convert button and wait a moment while your browser processes the file.
- Preview the result and download your WEBP file.
Worked example
Upload a PNG file, press convert and you get a WEBP copy. Your original file is not changed, so you can always go back to it.
Tips for best results
- WebP is excellent for websites; keep the original as a backup in case you need a format older software understands.
- Everything runs in your browser, so you can use PNG to WebP even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.
Limits to keep in mind
- Files are processed in your browser, so very large files depend on your device memory and may be slow. The limit is 50 MB per file.
- Animated images keep only their first frame. JPG output cannot keep transparency, and lossy formats discard a small amount of detail.
