Conversion Mechanics
WebP typically produces files 25-35% smaller than an equivalent PNG while still supporting a full alpha channel, which is why it's a standard swap for site icons, logos, and UI graphics when you're chasing a better PageSpeed or Core Web Vitals score. A small number of older browsers and some CMS media pipelines don't fully support WebP, so it's worth keeping the original PNG as a fallback if you need very broad compatibility.
Why It's Private
- Runs Entirely In Your Browser: Files are decoded and re-encoded strictly in local memory.
- No Network Requests: The converter makes no calls to any server — check your browser's DevTools Network tab to confirm.
- Nothing to Sign Up For: No account, no upload, and no server-side storage of your files.
- Runs On Your Hardware: Processing uses your own device's CPU via Web Workers, not a remote server.
