PNG to WebP: optimize images for the web

WebP is Google's recommended image format for the web. Developed in 2010, it uses advanced compression algorithms that produce files 25-50% smaller than PNG while maintaining the same visual quality. WebP also supports transparency and animations, covering all PNG use cases.

Image load speed directly impacts Google's Core Web Vitals metrics, especially Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). Using WebP instead of PNG can significantly improve your website's load time, which in turn improves search engine rankings and user experience.

Browser support for WebP exceeded 95% in 2020 with Safari 14 adoption. Today, converting PNG to WebP is standard practice in modern web development, recommended by audit tools like Google Lighthouse, GTmetrix, and PageSpeed Insights.
