Frequently Asked Questions
What is WebP and why should I use it?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression. WebP images are typically 25-35% smaller than PNG files at equivalent quality, making them ideal for websites where page speed and bandwidth matter.
How much smaller will my WebP file be compared to PNG?
WebP typically achieves 25-35% smaller file sizes than PNG for lossless compression, and even more savings with lossy compression. For example, a 2 MB PNG might become 600 KB to 1.4 MB as WebP depending on your quality setting.
Do all browsers support WebP?
Yes, all modern browsers support WebP including Chrome, Firefox, Safari (since version 14), Edge, and Opera. WebP has over 97% global browser support as of 2024, making it safe to use for web projects.
Is transparency preserved when converting PNG to WebP?
Yes! WebP fully supports transparency (alpha channels) just like PNG. Your transparent backgrounds and semi-transparent areas will be perfectly preserved in the converted WebP file.
Is WebP good for web optimization?
WebP is one of the best formats for web optimization. Google PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals specifically recommend serving images in WebP format. Smaller images mean faster page loads, better user experience, and improved SEO rankings.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and zero upload wait times.
