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.

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?

Yes. WebP supports alpha transparency, so transparent backgrounds and semi-transparent shadows work like PNG.

Is quality lost when converting to WebP?

It depends on the quality setting. Higher quality keeps more detail and produces larger files. Lower quality makes files smaller with more compression.

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.

What quality should I start with?

Start around 80 for general use. Increase if your image has sharp text/edges. Decrease if you want smaller files for photo-like images.

Is it free?

Yes. Free to use with no signup required.
