What is PNG?
PNG is a lossless image format that preserves every pixel exactly and supports full transparency. It is ideal for logos, screenshots, graphics and text, but photos saved as PNG are usually much larger than JPG.
What is WEBP?
WEBP is a modern image format created by Google. It produces files 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality and supports transparency, which makes it popular on websites. Some older apps and editors still cannot open it.

Frequently asked questions
Will I lose quality converting PNG to WEBP?
WEBP uses lossy compression, but at the default quality of 85 the difference is practically invisible. Move the quality slider up to 95–100 for maximum quality, or down to 60–75 for smaller files.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All conversion happens inside your browser on your own device. Your photos are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone, which also makes conversion faster and lets it work on any connection.
Is it really free? Are there limits?
Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up and no watermark. Because nothing is uploaded, there are no file size or file count limits. Very large batches are only limited by your device's memory.
Can I convert many images at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many images as you like. They are converted in parallel, and you can download them one by one or all together as a ZIP file.
Is the photo metadata (EXIF) kept?
No. Converted images do not contain the original metadata such as GPS location, camera model or date. This protects your privacy when sharing photos. The orientation is applied, so photos stay the right way up.
