Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I lose the transparent background?
A: Absolutely not. Both WebP and PNG support alpha-channel transparency. Our converter maps the transparent pixels perfectly so your logos and cutouts remain flawless.
Q: Why is the PNG file larger than the WebP?
A: WebP uses advanced next-generation compression algorithms. PNG is an older, mathematically simpler format. An increase in file size is completely normal when converting away from WebP, but you gain maximum compatibility.
