Convert PNG to WebP for website speed

Learn why converting PNG to WebP can reduce file size and improve page speed, and how to compress images safely.

If your pages load slowly, large PNG images are a common cause. PNG is great for quality, but it’s not always the most efficient format for web delivery.

WebP supports transparency like PNG, but can compress images much smaller. Converting PNG to WebP is often one of the fastest optimizations for SEO and performance metrics.

For icons and flat graphics, try palette PNG or lossless WebP. For photos, try WebP lossy or AVIF.
