Frequently Asked Questions
How much smaller is WebP compared to PNG? expand_more
WebP files are typically 25-35% smaller than PNG files. For images with lots of transparency or simple graphics, the file size reduction can be even more significant, sometimes up to 80%.
Does converting from PNG to WebP keep the transparency? expand_more
Yes. WebP has excellent support for lossless transparency (the alpha channel), just like PNG. Any transparent areas in your original PNG will be perfectly preserved in the final WebP file.
Is there any quality loss when converting PNG to WebP? expand_more
WebP supports both lossless and lossy compression. For graphics and logos, lossless WebP provides identical quality to PNG at a smaller size. For photographic images, you can use lossy compression to save even more space with minimal visual impact.
Can WebP files be animated like animated PNGs (APNG)? expand_more
Yes, the WebP format supports animations and is often more efficient than GIF or APNG, resulting in smaller animated image files.
Are WebP files supported everywhere? expand_more
WebP is now supported by all modern web browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, covering over 97% of users. However, for very old systems or specific desktop software, PNG might still offer better compatibility.
