❓ FAQ
What is WebP format?▼
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google. It provides superior lossy and lossless compression for web images, resulting in files 25-34% smaller than JPEG and 26% smaller than PNG at equivalent visual quality.
Which browsers support WebP?▼
WebP is supported by Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (14+), Opera, and all major mobile browsers. Over 96% of web users can view WebP images. Only very old browsers lack support.
Does WebP support transparency?▼
Yes! WebP supports full alpha channel transparency, similar to PNG. Unlike JPEG, WebP can have transparent backgrounds while still being much smaller in file size.
What's the difference between lossy and lossless WebP?▼
Lossy WebP reduces file size by discarding some data (like JPEG), resulting in much smaller files. Lossless WebP compresses without any quality loss (like PNG) but files are larger. Use lossy for photos and lossless for graphics/logos.
Can I convert WebP back to PNG or JPG?▼
Yes! Switch to the "Convert FROM WebP" tab to convert WebP images to PNG, JPG, or BMP. This is useful when you need compatibility with older software that doesn't support WebP.
How much smaller will my images be?▼
Typical savings range from 25-80% depending on the source format and quality setting. Photos from JPEG save 25-35%. PNGs with transparency can save 50-80%. Results vary by image content.
Is there a file size or count limit?▼
No hard limits since everything runs locally in your browser. Performance depends on your device. Most modern devices handle 50+ images or 100MB+ easily.
