Convert PNG to WebP

Making PNGs lighter for the web

WebP usually comes out 25 to 35 percent smaller than the same image as PNG, while still supporting the transparency PNG is loved for. On a website those saved kilobytes load faster for visitors, and every current browser displays WebP.

Morphr re-encodes your PNG as WebP and keeps any transparent areas. Choose lossless WebP to match the PNG exactly, or accept a tiny, usually invisible loss for a much smaller file.

Good to know

• • A few older desktop apps still don’t read WebP — keep a PNG if you need maximum compatibility.
• • Transparency is preserved.

The private way to turn PNG into WebP

With Morphr, the whole conversion runs inside your browser tab using your browser's built-in decoder, so your file is never uploaded to a server, queued, or stored. That makes it a safe choice for personal photos, scanned documents and anything you'd rather not hand to a third party.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PNG to WebP?

Drop your PNG file onto the converter above (or click to browse), and Morphr converts it to WebP right in your browser. When it's done, click download — there's nothing to install and no account to create.

Does converting to WebP lose quality?

WebP is a compressed format, so you can trade a little quality for a smaller file using the quality slider.

Does converting PNG to WebP remove EXIF and GPS data?

Yes. Re-encoding the image to WebP drops the embedded EXIF, GPS location and camera metadata, so the file you download carries none of those hidden details. If you'd rather keep a file's exact pixels but strip its metadata in place, use the Inspect tool instead.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your PNG file never leaves your device.
