Why Convert PNG to WebP? Keep Transparency, Shrink File Size
PNG is great for transparency and sharp graphics, but it often creates large files that slow down websites. That’s a problem for logos, icons, UI screenshots, product images, and transparent overlays.
WebP is a modern web format that supports transparency (alpha channel) and often compresses better than PNG. If you want faster pages, smaller downloads, and cleaner web delivery while keeping transparent backgrounds, WebP is usually the best target. Creatoryn converts locally in your browser (no upload), supports batch conversion, and gives you a ZIP download.
File Size: PNG vs WebP (Illustrative Example)
| Image Type | PNG Size | WebP (Higher Quality) | WebP (Smaller Size) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transparent Logo | 90 KB | 65 KB | 20 KB | Transparency preserved |
| Screenshot / UI | 1.2 MB | 900 KB | 220 KB | Use higher quality for crisp text |
| Product Image | 2.4 MB | 1.7 MB | 420 KB | Great for web catalogs |
| Icon Set | 480 KB | 340 KB | 110 KB | Batch → ZIP recommended |
This table is an illustrative example. Real results depend on image content, dimensions, and the chosen quality setting.
Key Features
Transparency Kept
WebP preserves alpha transparency, so logos and overlays keep their transparent background.
Smaller Files
WebP often compresses better than PNG, which helps pages load faster and saves bandwidth.
Quality Control
Use a higher quality setting for crisp graphics, or lower it for smaller files.
Batch + ZIP
Convert many PNGs in one go and download everything as a ZIP archive.
Lossless vs Lossy WebP (Simple Rule)
If your PNG is a logo, UI, or anything with sharp edges and text, start with a higher quality setting. If it’s a photo-like image, you can usually use a lower quality setting for much smaller files.
For transparent images, WebP is especially useful: it keeps transparency like PNG while often being smaller.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does WebP support transparency like PNG?▼

Why use WebP instead of PNG?▼
WebP often produces smaller files while keeping transparency, which is helpful for web performance and bandwidth savings.
Can I batch convert PNG to WebP?▼
Yes. Add multiple PNGs at once, convert them together, then download all WebP files as a ZIP.
Is it safe / private?▼
Yes. Conversion happens locally in your browser. Your images are not uploaded to a server.
