PNG to WebP Converter
Convert a PNG image to WebP — transparency is preserved, and files come out much smaller.
How to Convert a PNG to WebP
- Click the upload area or drag a PNG file onto it.
- The tool briefly checks whether your browser can encode WebP images, warning you if it can't.
- Adjust the "WebP Quality" slider (30–100%, default 90%) — transparency is kept regardless of the setting.
- Compare the PNG Size and WebP Size stats, then click "Download WebP".
Frequently Asked Questions
Does converting to WebP keep my PNG's transparency?
Yes. Unlike the PNG-to-JPG tool, this converter draws your image straight onto the canvas without filling a background color first, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels stay transparent in the exported WebP.
What if my browser can't export WebP?
The tool runs a quick encode test as soon as the page loads. If your browser can't produce WebP output, the upload area is marked disabled and a message tells you to try a recent version of Chrome, Edge, or Firefox instead.
How does the Quality slider affect a PNG source?
It sets the lossy WebP compression level from 30% to 100%. Because PNG source images are often graphics or screenshots rather than photos, you may be able to drop quality quite a bit before artifacts become noticeable - watch the live preview as you drag.
Why is my WebP file sometimes bigger than expected?
PNGs with flat colors or few tones can already be very small, so re-encoding as lossy WebP at a high quality setting doesn't always shrink them further. Try lowering the quality slider if file size matters more than pixel-perfect accuracy.
Is anything uploaded to Fixora's servers?
No. The PNG is read locally with the FileReader API and converted with the Canvas API entirely inside your browser tab.
