Compress PNG to WebP with alpha
Shrink PNGs into smaller WebP files while preserving transparency. Adjust quality and download — everything runs locally.

How it works
Pick an image, tune the options, then download the result. Everything runs in your browser.
- 01
Pick a PNG
Drop or select a PNG file. Alpha is preserved.
Files stay in memory as an
HTMLImageElement— the original bytes are never uploaded, and EXIF metadata is preserved until you explicitly transform it.uploadcanvaslocaldecodeinput · bytespng · loadedimage.png

Tune quality
Adjust the slider — 80–90% is usually visually identical to PNG.
Encoder quality is exposed where the format supports it — JPEG and WebP get a
0–1quality slider; PNG is lossless. Options re-render the canvas immediately.qualityoptionslive previewencoderquality · tunable90% · liveencode(q=0.9)

Inspect savings
WebP cuts size 25–50% from PNG at high quality for typical UI images.
Pixel work runs on the Canvas 2D context —

Download WebP
Save the WebP. All modern browsers support it natively.
Downloads ship via a hidden anchor with an object URL — no server round-trip, and the file on disk is untouched. The output filename inherits a sensible suffix.

Browser-only image work that scales
Convert with quality control
JPEG/WebP let you pick a 0–1 quality. Default 0.92 is a good compromise of size and visible quality.
PNG isn’t free
Use PNG only for transparency or sharp edges. For photos, WebP is smaller at the same perceived quality.
Strip EXIF for privacy
Photo EXIF often contains GPS, camera model, and timestamps. Strip before sharing public uploads.
Watch the colour profile
Convert to sRGB before web export. Wide-gamut images render oversaturated in non-managed browsers.
AVIF when it’s available
AVIF beats WebP on size at the same quality. Detect support via <picture> with fallbacks.
Lazy-load below the fold
Add loading="lazy" on <img>. The browser handles scheduling — no IntersectionObserver needed.
When to use this tool
Common workflows it speeds up.
Web performance
Smaller assets, faster page loads. Decoded into a Canvas 2D context — original bytes never leave the tab, so you can process customer-uploaded photos, internal screenshots, or sensitive diagrams without privacy concerns.
px-perfectHero images
PNGs with subtle gradients halve in size as WebP. Encoders expose quality 0–1 where the format supports it (JPEG, WebP); PNG and AVIF stay perceptually lossless. Pick 0.85 for web, 0.95 for archival, 0.7 for thumbnails.
quality-tunableSticker packs
Transparent stickers keep their alpha. Pair with the EXIF Stripper before sharing user-uploaded photos publicly. Camera serial numbers, GPS coordinates, and timestamps often hide in image metadata and leak more than the picture itself.
format-awareGame/app assets
Lighter texture downloads. Output preserves colour profile (sRGB) so it renders consistently across browsers, monitors, and print pipelines. Wide-gamut workflows can opt into Display P3 for modern Apple devices.
EXIF-safeOG images
Modern preview thumbnails in WebP. Re-runs only on option changes, never on window resize, so the canvas stays responsive on large images. drawImage uses the browser's bilinear filter for fast resampling.
client-sideCDN savings
Bandwidth bill down without quality loss. Downloads as .png, .jpg, .webp, or .avif with the correct MIME so editors apply native handling on save. The filename inherits a sensible suffix derived from the input.
