Choose file

WebP usually shrinks a PNG file significantly while still supporting transparency, which makes it a strong choice for websites that need to load faster. Add a PNG, adjust the quality slider, and download a WebP file built for the web.

What this tool does

Your PNG is encoded as WebP directly in the browser through canvas export, with a quality setting that controls the balance between file size and visual detail for the lossy WebP output.

How to use it

  1. Select a PNG file.
  2. Adjust the quality slider.
  3. Process the file and download the WebP.

What you get

  • Quality control tailored to lossy WebP output.
  • WebP files are often noticeably smaller than the source PNG.
  • No server upload — the encode happens in the browser.

Typical uses

  • Optimizing UI icons and graphics for a website.
  • Replacing heavy PNG images with lighter WebP versions.
  • Converting a batch of PNG files one at a time for a redesign.

Examples

  • A flat-color PNG icon converts to WebP at 85% quality.
  • A large PNG hero image becomes a WebP for faster page loads.

Worth knowing

  • WebP output depends on the browser's own canvas encoding support.
  • Setting quality too low can introduce visible banding on smooth gradients.

Frequently asked

Why is WebP unavailable?

Some browsers can't encode WebP from a canvas element. Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all support it.

Is transparency kept?

Yes, WebP can preserve an alpha channel when encoded from canvas in browsers that support it.
