Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WebP conversion
What is WebP format?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for web images. WebP images are typically 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images and 26% smaller than comparable PNG images, leading to faster page loads and better user experience.
Which browsers support WebP?
As of 2023, WebP is supported by all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. This represents over 95% of global browser usage. For the small percentage of unsupported browsers, you can provide JPG/PNG fallbacks.
What's the difference between lossy and lossless WebP?
Lossy WebP compression discards some image data to achieve smaller file sizes, similar to JPEG. This is ideal for photographs and complex images where minor quality reduction is acceptable. Lossless WebP preserves all image data while still achieving compression, similar to PNG. This is better for graphics, text, and images where every detail matters.
Is my data secure when using this converter?
Yes, our WebP converter processes your images directly in your browser - your files are never uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly use our cloud processing feature. We don't store your images after processing, and all data is encrypted during transfer.
Can WebP images have transparency?
Yes, WebP supports alpha channel transparency similar to PNG, but with much smaller file sizes. This makes it ideal for logos, icons, and other graphics that require transparency. When converting PNG images with transparency to WebP, the transparency will be preserved.
