PNG images are lossless and high quality, but they're also large. A typical product photo in PNG format can be 500KB–2MB. Converting to WebP reduces file sizes by 26% or more — a significant win for web performance.
WebP vs PNG — The Numbers
According to Google's benchmarks, WebP lossless images are approximately 26% smaller than PNG. For websites with many images, this translates to dramatically faster page loads, better Core Web Vitals scores, and improved Google search rankings.
Browser Support for WebP in 2026
WebP is supported by all major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari (since version 14), Edge, Opera, and all modern mobile browsers. Global browser support is above 96%. You can safely use WebP as your primary web image format.
When to Keep PNG Instead of Converting
Keep PNG when: sending via email, sharing with older software, uploading to platforms that don't accept WebP. For all web publishing scenarios, WebP is the better choice.
