How to convert PNG to WebP

  1. Click Convert PNG to WebP now. Picstea's editor opens with the converter ready.
  2. Drop your files on the converter, or click to choose them.
  3. Check the output format and, for JPG or WebP, the quality.
  4. Click Convert and save the file (several files are saved as one ZIP).

Why convert PNG to WebP?

Images are often the heaviest part of a web page. WebP stores the same picture in fewer bytes than PNG or JPEG and, unlike JPEG, keeps transparent backgrounds — so it is a good fit for product photos, illustrations and logos on a website.

What to expect

  • Transparency is kept.
  • WebP export is lossy: quality 80–90 looks the same for most images. Use 100 for screenshots with small text.
  • Every current browser shows WebP; some older desktop apps can't open it. Convert back with WebP to PNG if needed.

Questions

Will my website show WebP images?
Yes. All current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display WebP.
Can I make a lossless WebP?
Not yet. Picstea's WebP export is lossy; for an exact copy keep the PNG.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, in Picstea's editor, which has no server to receive files and blocks sending them anywhere. Nothing is saved in the browser either.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Pick or drop up to 200 files; one file is saved directly, several are saved together in one ZIP file.
