Why Convert PNG to WEBP?
PNG is excellent for transparency, screenshots, text, diagrams, and sharp-edged graphics, but some PNG files are much larger than necessary for web delivery. WEBP can provide efficient compression while supporting transparency.
The best result depends on the image. Flat graphics, screenshots, gradients, and photographs respond differently to compression. Always compare clarity around text, logos, icons, and transparent edges.
