Frequently Asked Questions

Get Answers to Your Questions About Our Chat Software and Features

What is PNG?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. It was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for GIF and is widely used for its ability to display images with transparent backgrounds and high quality. PNG files are commonly used for web graphics, digital photos, and images with transparent areas.

What is WEBP?

WEBP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WEBP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, and images in WEBP format are typically smaller in size compared to PNG or JPEG images, making them ideal for web use.

How to Batch-Convert PNG to WEBP?

Select PNG Images. Gather all the PNG images you wish to convert. Upload or drag and drop them into a batch conversion tool or software that supports PNG to WEBP conversion, like Cloudinary.
Choose WEBP as Output Format
In the conversion tool, select WEBP as the desired output format for your images.
Start the Conversion

If you want to streamline the process, you can sign up for Cloudinary API and automatically perform the conversions, and turn any format into WEBP!

How can I further optimize PNG and WEBP for the web?

Next-generation image formats like WEBP are game-changers for web optimization because they offer superior compression without compromising visual quality. Compared to traditional formats like PNG, WEBP reduces file sizes significantly, leading to faster loading times and improved Core Web Vitals metrics such as LCP (Largest Contentful Paint). By optimizing image performance, websites can provide a better user experience, boost SEO rankings, and lower bandwidth costs. You can turn JPG to WEBP, JPG to AVIF, PNG to WEBP, or PNG to AVIF easily, and your page will always be optimized!

To further optimize PNG and WEBP, consider using image compression tools or services to strip unnecessary metadata, adjust quality levels, and fine-tune dimensions for specific screen resolutions. Tools like lossy or lossless compression options ensure that image sizes are minimized while retaining visual clarity. Leveraging responsive image techniques, like the srcset attribute helps deliver the most efficient image size for different devices.

Which tools should I use if I need to change PNG or WEBP to a different one?

You can use various converters to handle other format conversions, such as WEBP to AVIF, WEBP to GIF, or PNG to GIF. For videos, you can convert formats like MP4 to WEBM or MOV to MP4. These tools allow you to optimize images and videos for the modern web, ensuring the best balance between file size and visual quality.

Remember that you can also use Cloudinary to do this programmatically. Sign up for the API to automate format conversion and optimization seamlessly.
