Drop your entire folder of PNGs into the converter, set a quality level, and download all the WebP files as a ZIP. No file count limit, no daily cap, no account. The tool processes each file in your browser — nothing gets uploaded.
This is the fastest way to migrate a batch of website images, app assets, or project files from PNG to WebP. If you have been putting off the switch because it seemed tedious, this makes it a 2-minute task.
Batch Convert PNG to WebP in 4 Steps
- Open the PNG to WebP converter
- Select all your PNG files. Ctrl+A (Cmd+A on Mac) to select everything in a folder, then drag into the browser. Or click the upload area and multi-select
- Set quality. 80 for web optimization, 100 for lossless. The setting applies to every file
- Convert, then Download All as ZIP
The tool shows per-file size comparisons — original PNG size vs. WebP output — so you can see exactly how much each image shrunk. On a mid-range laptop, expect 3-8 files per second depending on image size.
Recommended Quality Settings by Use Case
Since the quality slider applies to every file in the batch, choose based on the overall purpose:
| Use Case | Quality | Expected Savings |
|---|---|---|
| Website images (general) | 80 | 50-70% smaller than PNG |
| E-commerce product photos | 85 | 40-60% smaller |
| Logos and icons | 100 (lossless) | 25-35% smaller |
| App UI assets | 90 | 35-50% smaller |
| Thumbnail generation | 70 | 70-85% smaller |
If your batch contains mixed content (photos + logos + screenshots), you have two options: run one batch at quality 85 (good compromise) or split into two batches (photos at 80, graphics at 100). Most people find the single-pass approach at quality 85 produces great results across all image types.

For batches under 200 files, the browser tool is faster to set up and use. For larger batches or automated pipelines, command-line tools scale better:
Google's cwebp (official WebP encoder):
for f in *.png; do cwebp -q 80 "$f" -o "$(basename "$f" .png).webp"; done
ImageMagick:
magick mogrify -format webp -quality 80 *.png
Both require installation. cwebp gives you the most control over WebP-specific encoding options (lossy/lossless, alpha compression quality, sharpness). ImageMagick is more convenient if you already have it installed for other tasks.
The browser tool's advantages: zero setup, visual feedback on file sizes, works on any device, and keeps files private. The CLI advantage: handles thousands of files and integrates into build scripts. For most one-time batch jobs, the browser tool wins on convenience.
After Converting: How to Use Your WebP Files
Once you have your WebP files, here is how to put them to use:
Website (with PNG fallback):
<picture> <source srcset="image.webp" type="image/webp"> <img src="image.png" alt="Description"> </picture>
This serves WebP to browsers that support it and falls back to PNG for the rare browser that does not.
WordPress: Upload the WebP files directly. WordPress has supported WebP uploads since version 5.8. Most modern themes display them without issues.
CSS background images: You can use WebP in CSS with background-image: url(image.webp). For fallbacks, use the CSS image-set() function or serve WebP via server-side content negotiation.
For a complete guide to serving WebP on websites, including WordPress plugins and CDN configuration, see our WebP for WordPress and Shopify guide.

Open Free PNG to WebP ConverterFrequently Asked Questions
How many PNG files can I batch convert to WebP at once?
There is no hard limit. The browser tool processes each file individually using your device resources. Most users convert 50-200 files per batch comfortably. For very large batches (500+), split into groups or use a command-line tool like cwebp.
Does batch conversion preserve transparency on every file?
Yes. Every PNG with a transparent background produces a WebP with a transparent background. The transparency is preserved regardless of quality setting — both lossy and lossless WebP support full alpha channel transparency.
Is there a daily limit on batch WebP conversions?
No. Unlike server-based tools (CloudConvert: 25/day, Convertio: 100MB/day), browser-based tools have no daily limits because there are no server costs per conversion. Convert as many batches as you need.
Can I use different quality settings for different files in the same batch?
The quality slider applies uniformly to all files. If you need different settings for different images (e.g., lossless for logos, lossy for photos), run them as separate batches.
