Why turn a PNG into a WebP

WebP is the format that does what PNG does and takes far less room. It keeps a transparent background, it keeps text and sharp lines crisp, and a screenshot or a logo often lands at a quarter of the size. Every current browser reads it, which is why it is the usual answer for a picture on a web page.

What the change costs

At a lower quality setting WebP does lose detail, so a picture destined for print should be converted at a high setting or left as PNG. Some older desktop software still refuses to open it.

When to do something else

If the picture is going to somebody who will open it in an old program, send PNG or JPG. WebP is for the web, and it is very good there.
