Convert PNG to WEBP for a Faster Site (Free)

Convert PNG to WEBP for a Faster Site (Free)

If your site serves PNG logos and graphics, converting them to WEBP is one of the cheapest speed wins available.

PNG is lossless, which is exactly why it is big. For images on a website, that losslessness is usually buying you nothing a visitor can see — and costing them download time. WEBP gives you the same transparency support at a fraction of the size.

What you gain

A typical PNG graphic converted to WEBP comes out substantially smaller with no visible difference at display size. Transparency survives, so a cut-out logo stays cut out. Multiply that across every image on a page and it is usually the largest single reduction in page weight available without changing any code.

How to convert

Drop the PNG into the converter, choose WEBP as the output, and download. It runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded — and there is no watermark or limit on how many you do.

Where to keep the PNG

Keep PNG for anything leaving the web: a logo you send to a printer, an asset for a partner, an image going into desktop software. Support outside browsers is still patchy enough that PNG remains the safer handover format. Convert for the site; archive the original.

Resize before you convert

Format is only half of it. An image displayed at 400px wide should not be 2000px wide in the file, whatever format it is in. Resize to roughly the display size first, then convert — the two together do far more than either alone.
