Is WebP Converter really free?

Yes — no account, no paywall, no watermark added to the result.

Does my file get uploaded anywhere?

No. WebP Converter runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib/pdf.js — your file is never sent to a server.

WebP typically produces smaller files than JPG or PNG at a similar visual quality, which is why most modern websites prefer it for faster page loads.

Will every browser open a WebP file?

All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 14+) display WebP natively. Very old browsers may not — check where the image will actually be used if that matters for your case.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes — unlike converting to JPG, WebP supports transparency, so a transparent PNG converts without losing it.

What if my browser can't create a WebP file?

A few older browser versions silently fall back to a different format when asked for WebP — this tool detects that and shows a clear error instead of quietly handing you a mislabeled file.

Can I control the quality?

Yes — a slider from 30% to 95%; lower gives a smaller file, higher keeps it closer to the original.

Can I convert more than one image at once?

Not in one run — this tool works on one image at a time. Run it again for additional images.

Does it change the image dimensions?

No — only the format and compression change; width and height stay exactly as they were.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No — conversion happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API; nothing is uploaded.

Deleting PNG before visual QA — Check transparency and edges first.
