Why convert PNG to WebP?

PNG vs WebP

PNG opens in every app, so keep it for files you still edit or send by email. WebP is much smaller and every current browser shows it, so use it on your website. Etsy and Amazon don't list WebP, so give them PNG or JPEG.

PNG to WebP: frequently asked questions

Does WebP keep the transparent background?

Yes. Transparent areas in your PNG stay transparent in the WebP.

Can I upload a WebP to Etsy or Amazon?

Neither lists WebP among its image formats. Keep a PNG or JPEG for those.

How much smaller will my WebP be?

Usually more than 90% smaller than the PNG you upload, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG. Images that were already compressed save less.

Can I convert WebP back to PNG?

Yes. Use the swap button, or go to WebP to PNG. Detail removed by compression doesn't come back.

Is PNG lossless?

Yes. A PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is also why the files are large. Our compressor applies lossy compression by reducing the colours, so its result looks the same rather than being pixel-identical.

PNG or WebP: which should I use?

WebP for your website: PNG to WebP can be more than 90% smaller for photographic content, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG, and transparency stays. Choose PNG when a file has to open everywhere, including email, webforms or marketplaces.

Is WebP better than PNG?

For your website, usually: PNG to WebP is usually more than 90% smaller, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG, and transparency stays. Every modern browser shows WebP, so a page loads faster with no visible difference. Outside the browser, PNG and JPEG are still the safer choice: older image editors, Office documents, many upload forms and some email clients don't accept WebP. Keep the PNG as your master copy and publish the WebP.

Is WebP lossless or lossy?

Both: a WebP file can use either mode. Converting a lossy WebP to another lossy format, such as JPG, compresses it once more. We save WebP lossy, or lossless when that comes out smaller.

Which browsers and apps support WebP?

About 97% of browsers, including Safari from version 16. Outside the browser it is patchier: Windows and Office need a free Microsoft Store extension, Gmail turns WebP into JPEG, and many upload forms reject it.

How do I convert PNG to WebP?

Add your PNGs above, choose WebP and download the result. It works in your browser on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with nothing to install.

What is a PNG file?

A PNG is an image file in the Portable Network Graphics format. It keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparency, so screenshots, logos and cut-outs are usually saved as PNG. Most computers and phones save screenshots as PNG.

Is it free?

Yes. Web Free converts 3 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Web Pro takes bigger files, and Web Ultra converts as many as you like.

Are my images private?

Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete your images from our servers within 48 hours.

What happens to the metadata?

We remove all metadata, such as camera details, GPS location and editing history, to keep files small. Want to keep metadata? Use the developer API: it can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
