PNG to WEBP: common questions

Will converting PNG to WEBP reduce quality?

WEBP supports both lossy and lossless modes; the mode used depends on the options offered for this tool.

Is my PNG file checked before conversion?

Yes. We inspect the file's contents, not just its name, and the server verifies it again before converting. Renamed files that are not really PNG are rejected.

What happens to transparency?

WEBP supports transparency, so transparent areas are kept.
