Transparency preserved

WebP to PNG keeps alpha channels intact. PNG to WebP maintains transparency — no white fill added.

WebP: the web's image format

WebP was developed by Google and released in 2010. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, transparency (alpha channel), and animation — combining the best of JPEG, PNG, and GIF in a single format. At the same visual quality, WebP files are typically 25–35% smaller than JPEG and 50%+ smaller than PNG.

As of 2025, WebP is supported by all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and most modern image tools. This makes it the default choice for web performance optimization — serving WebP instead of JPEG or PNG reduces page weight and improves Core Web Vitals scores.

When to convert away from WebP: if you need to open or edit the image in older software (legacy Photoshop, Paint, some design tools), or send it to someone without a modern image viewer, convert to PNG (for lossless quality) or JPG (for universal compatibility). WebP to PNG is lossless — no quality loss. WebP to JPG applies JPEG compression but produces a universally compatible file.

Common questions

Why can't I open WebP images on older software?
WebP was created by Google in 2010 and is supported in all modern browsers and operating systems, but older versions of Photoshop, macOS, and Windows lack native support. Converting WebP to PNG or JPG makes the image universally openable.
Is WebP better than PNG or JPG?
For web delivery, yes — WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than JPEG and 50%+ smaller than PNG at equivalent visual quality, with support for transparency (like PNG) and lossy compression (like JPEG). The tradeoff is compatibility with older tools.
Does converting WebP to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. WebP supports transparency (alpha channel), and PNG preserves it exactly. WebP to PNG is a lossless conversion — every pixel, including transparent ones, is preserved perfectly.
Should I use WebP or AVIF for my website?
AVIF is newer and compresses better than WebP (typically 20–30% smaller at equivalent quality), but browser support is slightly lower and encoding is slower. For maximum compatibility today, WebP is the safer default. AVIF is worth using if you're targeting modern browsers and prioritize file size.
