Frequently Asked Questions

Does WebP support transparent backgrounds?

Yes. WebP includes full alpha channel support, allowing smooth semi-transparency just like PNG-24.

When should I choose lossless over lossy WebP for PNGs?

Use lossless mode for screenshots with sharp text, pixel art, or graphics with flat color areas. Use lossy mode for illustrations or images with gradients where smaller file size is the priority.

Can I convert back from WebP to PNG later?

Yes, though if you converted using lossy WebP, the original pixel data cannot be perfectly recovered. Keep master assets in PNG or vector format.

Is WebP better than PNG for websites?

Yes, WebP reduces image file sizes significantly while supporting full transparency, improving page speed and Core Web Vitals.
