Why convert PNG to WebP?

PNG-to-WebP is the conversion that pays off the biggest for web delivery. PNGs of UI screenshots, logos, and graphics with transparency often weigh 500 KB to 5 MB; the WebP equivalent is typically 50-80% smaller while keeping the same transparency and visual quality. For sites that serve a lot of UI imagery, this is a meaningful bandwidth and page-load win.

We decode the PNG losslessly, then re-encode as WebP at Q=92. WebP keeps the alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds survive the conversion. Note: WebP supports both lossless and lossy modes; we use the lossy path at high quality, which is what produces the biggest size savings. If you need bit-perfect output, stick with PNG.
