Questions people ask

Why convert PNG to WebP?

WebP files are far smaller than PNG at similar quality, so a WebP loads faster on a website and still supports transparency. It is the modern web image format.

Does Safari support WebP?

Modern Safari displays WebP. Very old browsers do not, so keep a fallback if you must support them. This tool will tell you if your browser cannot create WebP.

Is my image uploaded?

No. It is converted in your browser and never sent anywhere.
