Questions, answered honestly
- What is the difference between PNG and WEBP?
- PNG is a lossless image format — its strength is pixel-perfect quality and transparency. WEBP is a modern image format — its strength is smaller files at the same quality, with transparency. Converting PNG to WEBP trades one for the other.
- Does converting PNG to WEBP lose quality?
- WEBP is a compressed format, so some detail is traded for a smaller file. At a sensible quality setting the difference is rarely visible — and the machine lets you set that dial yourself.
- What happens to transparency?
- WEBP supports transparency, so see-through areas survive the trip intact.
- Does my file get uploaded?
- No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, on your machine — no server touches this job. (Pro tools, when they arrive, will upload securely, and only when you ask.)
- Is convert png to webp free?
- Yes — tools on the open shelf are free to use.
