Convert PNG to WebP with optional quality and resize controls for faster image delivery.
PNG is great for transparency and crisp UI elements, but it can be large. WebP keeps transparency while reducing file size, making it a strong upgrade for icons, UI assets, and marketing banners.
If your workflow requires exact pixel fidelity for small icons or you see artifacts after conversion, keep PNG for those specific assets and convert the rest.

Why it happens: Alpha premultiplication artifacts
Fix: Use higher quality and test edge blending
Why it happens: Lossy compression too aggressive for flat graphics
Fix: Increase quality or keep PNG for tiny icons
Theory: Different codecs compress different visual patterns with varying efficiency.
When to use: Switch to WebP/AVIF for web delivery and keep PNG for transparency-critical graphics.
Common mistake: Assuming one format always wins for every image type.
Theory: Lower quality reduces high-frequency detail before reducing structure.
When to use: Tune quality after setting final dimensions.
Common mistake: Dropping quality too early before testing resize impact.
Theory: Consistent settings create predictable output but not all images share the same complexity.
When to use: Use batch defaults, then manually review edge images (text/logos/faces).
Common mistake: Applying one aggressive preset to all assets.
Theory: EXIF and ancillary chunks can increase file size without visible benefit.
When to use: Strip metadata for web assets unless camera/location metadata is required.
Common mistake: Publishing sensitive metadata unintentionally.

Verify transparency around edges after export.
Converting icons without checking alpha edges can cause visible halos.
