How to use

  1. Add your PNG file

    Drag the PNG file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.

  2. Confirm WEBP as the output

    WEBP is already selected as the output format on this page. A quality slider and width/height fields appear — lowering quality shrinks the file.

  3. Run the conversion

    Press the convert button. A single image is usually done before you finish reading this sentence.

  4. Download the WEBP file

    When it finishes, download the WEBP file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Is converting PNG to WEBP really free?

Yes. PNG to WEBP conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.

Are my PNG files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the PNG file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.

Does converting PNG to WEBP reduce quality?

WEBP uses lossy compression, so some detail is discarded. At high quality settings the difference is usually invisible, and the file becomes far smaller.

Will the WEBP file open everywhere?

WEBP is a newer format. Current browsers and phones handle it, but older desktop software may not — keep the original PNG if you have to send it to someone on an old machine.

Is there a file size limit for PNG to WEBP conversion?

The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
