PNG to WebP
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
PNG to WebP conversion converts lossless images into modern formats that support lossless and lossless compression as well as transparency. For logos and illustrations, WebP often produces smaller files without losing alpha channels. This format is supported by modern browsers, but provides a fallback if the user is still using old software.
Key points
- WebP supports alpha so that the PNG transparent background is maintained
- WebP provides lossy and lossless modes
- The WebP file size is generally smaller than PNG
- Modern browsers support WebP, but fallback is still wise
- Use high-quality linear illustrations to keep the edges clean
