Format facts
- PNG
- PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster format that keeps the exact value of every pixel.
- Transparency
- Supports full alpha transparency, so a transparent background stays transparent.
- Typical use
- Common for screenshots, logos, and graphics with sharp edges that need a transparent background.
- Browser support
- Supported natively by every modern browser and OS; this tool's only limit is the 50 MiB upload cap.
- WebP
- WebP is a modern raster format from Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression.
- Transparency
- Supports alpha transparency in both lossy and lossless modes.
- Typical use
- Used for faster-loading websites; typically 25-35% smaller than an equivalent JPG or PNG at similar quality.
- Browser support
- Supported by every current browser; some older image editors and legacy tools still expect JPG or PNG.
Does PNG to WebP keep transparency?
Yes. WebP supports alpha transparency in both its lossy and lossless modes, so a transparent PNG background stays transparent after conversion.
WebP's lossy mode can shrink a PNG considerably, which is useful for graphics and illustrations where PNG's lossless compression produces a larger file than necessary.
Frequently asked questions
Will converting PNG to WebP keep my transparent background?
Yes, WebP supports transparency the same way PNG does.
Is WebP always smaller than PNG?
Usually, especially for photographic content; simple graphics with few colors sometimes compress similarly in both formats.
Will older browsers display my WebP images?
All current major browsers support WebP natively; keep a PNG fallback if you still need to support very old browser versions.
Can I convert multiple PNG files together?
Yes, add up to 20 files and download results individually or as a ZIP.
