Frequently Asked Questions
What is WebP and why do websites use it?▼
WebP is a modern image format by Google that offers both lossy and lossless compression plus transparency and animation. It produces 25–35% smaller files than JPG or PNG at equivalent quality, so websites load faster.
Does WebP support transparency?▼
Yes — WebP supports alpha transparency in both lossy and lossless modes, making it a smaller alternative to PNG for web graphics.
Why can't I open a WebP image in some apps?▼
Older apps and some editors still lack WebP support. Converting to JPG or PNG gives you a universally compatible file while keeping the visual quality.
Is WebP good for photos?▼
Yes, lossy WebP is excellent for photos — visually comparable to JPG at significantly smaller sizes. All modern browsers display WebP natively.
Does converting to WebP lose quality?▼
With lossy WebP there is a small, usually invisible reduction; lossless WebP preserves every pixel. Either way, your files stay private — conversion happens locally in your browser.
