Frequently Asked Questions
What is WebP format?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. WebP images are typically 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images while maintaining similar visual quality, making websites load faster.
Which browsers support WebP?
WebP is supported by all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (14+), and Opera. For older browsers, you can use the HTML <picture> element to provide fallback formats like JPEG or PNG.
What quality setting should I use?
For most images, a quality setting of 80-90% provides a good balance between file size and visual quality. For photographs, 80-85% is usually sufficient. For images with text or sharp edges, use 90-95%. Lower quality settings result in smaller files but may show compression artifacts.
Does WebP support transparency?
Yes, WebP supports transparency (alpha channel) similar to PNG. When converting PNG images with transparency, the WebP output will preserve the transparent areas. This makes WebP a good replacement for both JPEG and PNG formats.
Is the conversion done on my computer or a server?
All conversion is done entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy. The conversion works offline once the page is loaded.
