Convert PNG to WebP

WebP supports transparency just like PNG, but compresses far more efficiently — a great option when you need a see-through background without PNG's large file size. It's the format most site-speed tools recommend for logos and icons with transparency.

Retouchr converts PNG to WebP locally in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

FAQ

Does WebP keep my PNG's transparency?

Yes — WebP supports alpha transparency, so converting from PNG preserves any transparent or semi-transparent areas.

How much smaller will the file be?

It varies by image, but WebP commonly produces 25-50% smaller files than PNG for the same content, especially for photos with transparency.

Is WebP good for icons and logos, or just photos?

Both — WebP handles flat graphics, icons, and photos well, which is why it has largely replaced PNG for web assets that need transparency.
