    About PNG and WEBP

    PNG is a lossless image format with transparency. It keeps text and sharp edges crisp, which makes it the usual choice for screenshots, logos and interface captures.

    WebP is a modern image format for the web. It supports lossy and lossless compression and transparency, and it often produces smaller files than JPG or PNG. Modern browsers support it, though some older software does not.

    When to convert PNG to WEBP

    Convert to make images smaller for web pages so they load faster.

    Tip

    WebP keeps transparency, so logos and cut-outs stay clean.
