How it works
- Drop your PNG files here, or select a whole folder.
- Each PNG is decoded and re-encoded as WebP — right in your browser, transparency intact.
- Raise the quality slider toward 100 for near-lossless results, or lower it for smaller files.
- Download the WebP files individually, or as one ZIP.
PNG is the safe default for logos and icons because it's lossless and supports transparency — but WebP does both of those too, usually at a much smaller file size, which is why it's worth converting before you ship assets to a website. This tool re-encodes PNG to WebP entirely in your browser, transparency intact, with nothing uploaded to a server. One decision is yours: lossy WebP (smaller, a tiny bit of recompression) or a higher quality setting that keeps the result close to lossless. For flat-color logos the size savings from even lossy WebP are usually dramatic and the visual difference is negligible.
Why use convert.pics?
- Transparency carries over automatically — no flattening, no white fill.
- Usually a significant size reduction versus the original PNG.
- No upload: bulk-convert an entire icon or asset library locally.
- Batch conversion and a quality slider to fine-tune the size/fidelity tradeoff.
Frequently asked questions
Does PNG to WebP keep the transparent background?
Yes. WebP supports a full alpha channel just like PNG, and the conversion preserves it exactly — nothing is filled in or flattened.
Should I use lossless or lossy WebP for a PNG?
For photos and complex images, lossy WebP at a high quality setting usually gives the best size-to-quality ratio. For logos, icons, or graphics where every pixel matters, push the quality slider toward 100 — the closer to lossless you need, the higher you should set it.
How much smaller will the WebP be?
It varies by image, but flat-color graphics like logos and icons often shrink dramatically, sometimes by more than half, because WebP compresses that kind of content far more efficiently than PNG.
Is WebP better than PNG for logos and icons?
In almost every practical sense, yes — smaller files, the same transparency support, and support in every current browser. PNG remains useful mainly as a universal fallback for very old software that doesn't recognize WebP.
