WebP
Good at
- 25–35 % lighter than JPEG at comparable quality
- One format instead of three: lossy and lossless, transparency, animation
- Supported by every browser released after 2020
Awkward about
- Older software and devices will not open it
- Some editors still cannot save to it
Use it when
- Images for the web — the main case
- Replacing JPEG, PNG and GIF with a single format
PNG
Good at
- Lossless: pixels stay exactly as they were
- Full transparency, including soft semi-transparent edges
- Opens everywhere without exception — the format is nearly thirty years old
Awkward about
- Photos weigh several times more than in JPEG or WebP
- No animation: APNG support is far from universal
Use it when
- Screenshots, diagrams, logos — anything with sharp edges and text
- When you need transparency
- When the image will be edited further
Common questions
- Does the file get uploaded to a server?
- No. WebP → PNG runs right in your browser and the file never leaves your device. It only goes to a server if the browser cannot cope — and then we delete it within a couple of hours.
- Will transparency survive?
- Yes, PNG supports transparency, so semi-transparent edges stay as they were.
- Can I get the original quality back afterwards?
- Nothing is lost, but nothing is gained either. PNG stores exactly what WebP hands over, including the gaps WebP left behind when it compressed. No tool can bring those back, and the file grows several times over. This conversion makes sense for editing, not for quality.
- How many files, and how large?
- Up to 30 files at a time, 50 MB each. No sign-up, no watermarks.
