Why convert PNG to WEBP?
PNG provides excellent quality but creates large files, especially for web use. WebP delivers nearly identical visual quality with 25-35% smaller file sizes, improving page load speed and reducing bandwidth. WebP also supports transparency like PNG, making it a modern, web-optimized replacement for PNG without sacrificing features.
