The image is re-encoded as WEBP in this tab, at full resolution.
3
Save it
The WEBP downloads back to your device immediately.
Why convert here, not there
No upload, ever
Your pictures stay on your machine. Only the format changes: png in, webp out.
Local conversion
No upload, no server queue, no waiting room. Instant, every time.
No account, no daily cap
No caps and no watermarks - the webp is clean and yours.
The two formats, briefly
| PNG | PNG stores raster pixels with lossless compression and supports transparency. A decoded PNG export is not a copy of all source metadata or animation. | |
|---|---|---|
| WEBP | WebP supports lossy and lossless images, transparency and animation. This page exports one browser-decoded image, not an animation or metadata archive. | |
When you need this
- Export PNG as WebP for a website or app that accepts it. Size savings depend on the image and quality setting; compare the actual export rather than assuming it will be smaller.
PNG vs WEBP: what changes
| PNG | WEBP | |
|---|---|---|
| Kind | Image | Image |
| Compression | Lossless raster compression | Lossy image output here |
| Typical size | Depends on the file and encoding settings. | Measure the exported file; it may be larger. |
| Opens on | Check the source in your app and browser. | Check the downloaded file in the receiving app. |
| Best for | Keep the original as your source. | WEBP workflows, subject to the limits below. |
Keep the original. Compare the exported file before sharing or replacing it.
Good to know
- Higher quality usually retains more image detail at the cost of size. JPG and this WebP export use lossy encoding; output size is not guaranteed to be smaller.
- Check the exported image at its actual size and compare its file size before submitting it. The original file is not modified.
PNG to WEBP, answered
Why convert PNG to WEBP?+
Export PNG as WebP for a website or app that accepts it. Size savings depend on the image and quality setting; compare the actual export rather than assuming it will be smaller.
Which quality should I pick?+
Higher quality usually retains more image detail at the cost of size. JPG and this WebP export use lossy encoding; output size is not guaranteed to be smaller.
Does converting PNG to WEBP lose quality?+
JPG and this WebP export use lossy compression. Transparent areas become white in JPG. Animation, metadata and editable vector paths are not preserved; keep the source if those matter.
Is there a file size limit?+
The hard cap is 2 GB per file. The practical limit is your device: conversion runs in its memory, so very large files can fail on phones with little free RAM. There is no server-side cap because nothing is uploaded.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?+
No upload, full stop. Everything between dropping the file and downloading the webp happens in your browser.
