🔁 Convert PNG to WebP
About these formats
About PNG. PNG is a lossless format with full transparency support, which makes it ideal for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges or flat colour. Files are larger than lossy formats because no detail is discarded.
About WebP. WebP is a modern web format that supports both transparency and animation and is typically smaller than PNG or JPG at the same quality. It is supported in all current browsers, though some older desktop software still cannot open it.
Going from PNG (lossless raster) to WebP (lossy or lossless raster) usually produces a smaller file at the same visual quality, which helps pages load faster.
When to keep the original instead. There is no quality penalty to worry about here, but it is still wise to keep the original PNG as a master copy.
