Resumen
Convert PNG to WebP. This tool re-encodes one Portable Network Graphics into a WebP of the same pixels at roughly 6% of the byte cost, without resizing, cropping, or colour-regrading. The net effect is faster pages, better Core Web Vitals scores, and lower CDN egress bills, because the same visual output travels in a much smaller container. Nothing is saved on our side.
WebP (WebP) is the modern web target. It was standardised in 2010 and reaches roughly 97%% of global browsers in 2026. At equivalent visual quality it cuts byte cost against PNG to about 6% on typical photographic content, which is why hero images on news sites, product galleries, and blog covers increasingly ship as WebP first with a legacy fallback.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is the incumbent your source probably came from: camera exports, older CMS uploads, and designer PSDs still save as PNG by default. It is supported everywhere, decodes fast, and is trivial to produce. The cost is size. Nothing in the PNG spec was designed for 2026 bandwidth budgets, and on photographic content a typical PNG file is measurably larger than the same pixels in WebP.
The trade-off is encoding speed and fallback plumbing. WebP takes more CPU to encode than PNG, which is why we run the encoder on our side instead of in your browser. Visual quality at the default target matches PNG on typical photographic content; screenshots and flat-colour illustrations retain their sharp edges. Shipping WebP in production usually pairs with a standard picture element and a PNG fallback for the last few percent of visitors.
When NOT to convert PNG to WebP: archival masters where every original pixel matters (keep the PNG), email-newsletter assets where a desktop client may still refuse WebP (ship JPEG there), and tiny icon-sized assets under 50x50 pixels where the WebP container overhead can exceed the encoded payload. For real hero art, product photography, and blog covers, WebP is the right 2026 default.
Every upload is held only while we re-encode it. The resulting WebP comes back on a one-time download link and is deleted the moment you fetch it, or sooner if you never come back. No account ties the upload to you, and the Privacy page lists every byte that touches disk. Converting PNG to WebP on BouseMutton leaves no residue behind.
WebP at a glance, against PNG
Los números y compromisos que necesitas antes de decidir.
WebP vs PNG byte cost
On typical photographic content, WebP reaches PNG-equivalent visual quality at roughly 6% of the bytes. Flat illustrations compress even better.
WebP browser support
WebP covers roughly 97%% of global browser traffic in 2026. Pair with a PNG fallback in a picture element for the remaining tail.
Codec era
WebP was standardised in 2010; PNG dates from earlier. The generation gap is why WebP fits the same image in much less space.
Encoding cost
WebP encoding is more CPU-heavy than PNG, which is why we run it on our side. Decoding in the browser is fast and not perceptibly slower than PNG.
No resizing
Conversion is pixel-for-pixel. A PNG that was 2048 pixels wide comes back as a WebP that is 2048 pixels wide. No silent dimension change.
Transparency preserved
WebP supports an alpha channel, so PNG files with transparent regions convert without losing transparency. Edges stay clean.
When to keep PNG
Keep the PNG for archival masters, for email-only delivery, and for icons under 50x50 pixels where the WebP container overhead outweighs its codec win.
