PNG is a practical choice when you want to keep the source assets familiar. PNG is a lossless raster format built for crisp edges, transparency and UI artwork. It is a dependable choice for logos, screenshots and graphics that need exact pixel fidelity, even when the file is a little heavier. WebP brings a different balance of size, compatibility or flexibility. WebP is a modern image format from Google that combines efficient compression with broad browser support. It can deliver smaller files than JPEG or PNG for many visuals, making it a strong default for performance-focused publishing.
Use Local Optimizer to convert PNG to WebP locally, without uploading the file anywhere. The converter below works well for one-off jobs and batch workflows alike.
Unlike classic online tools, Local Optimizer processes your files directly in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to a server: that means total privacy and maximum speed, since processing does not depend on your internet connection. You can even use the tool offline once the page has loaded.
