PNG is a lossless image format that supports transparency, making it best for logos, screenshots, and graphics with sharp edges. WebP is a modern image format that's roughly 25–35% smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality, built for fast-loading websites. File Transmute turns your PNG into WebP right in your browser — no upload, no sign-up, and no daily limit. Because the conversion runs on your own device, even sensitive files stay private, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

Good to know

WebP is smaller than PNG at similar quality and keeps transparency, which makes it ideal for the web. The trade-off is compatibility: very old browsers and some legacy desktop apps don't read WebP — keep a PNG or JPG fallback where that matters.
