Pro tip: For maximum website performance, convert all your PNG assets to WebP. Keep the original PNGs as source files for future editing.
Lossless vs Lossy WebP
WebP supports both lossless compression (pixel-perfect, like PNG) and lossy compression (smaller but slight quality reduction). For graphics with solid colors and sharp edges (logos, icons), lossless WebP is typically 30–50% smaller than PNG. For photographic content with transparency, lossy WebP can be 60–80% smaller.
