Why convert PNG to WebP?
PNG is a lossless raster format that reproduces every pixel exactly and fully supports transparency. WebP is a modern Google format offering both lossy and lossless modes, transparency, and files 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG.
Both PNG and WebP support transparency, so transparent regions are carried across cleanly. Moving from PNG to WebP usually shrinks the file significantly thanks to WebP's efficient compression — great for websites, email, and saving storage. WebP is supported across all modern browsers and is one of the best choices for website performance and Core Web Vitals.
Pixohub converts PNG to WebP entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many PNG files into WebP as you like. Reach for WebP whenever you need fast-loading website images that keep transparency and quality.
PNG vs WebP: what to expect
PNG is best for logos, icons, screenshots, and any graphic with sharp edges or a transparent background, while WebP shines for fast-loading website images that keep transparency and quality. Keep your original PNG if you may later need the source file, and export a WebP copy for sharing and the web.
