How to Convert PNG to WebP

WebP images are typically much smaller than PNG at comparable quality, which matters if you're publishing them on the web. This guide shows how to convert and land the result directly in your cloud drive.

Why this method

  • Smaller files mean faster page loads — useful for Core Web Vitals and general site performance
  • Converts on the way to your drive — no separate converter site, no re-upload
  • Works for a single image or a whole batch at once

Quick overview

  1. Connect a destination drive.
  2. Upload or select the PNG file(s) you want to convert.
  3. Choose WebP as the output format.
  4. Start the job — WebP files land in your drive.

Full walkthrough

  1. Connect a destination drive

    Add Google Drive, Dropbox, or any other supported provider — this is where your converted WebP files will land.

  2. Select your PNG files

    Pick them from a connected drive, or upload from your device the same way you'd start any transfer.

  3. Choose the convert option

    When staging the file, pick WebP as the output format.

  4. Pick a destination and start

    Choose which connected drive the converted file should land in, then start the job.

    Converting a whole folder of images? Select them all — they run as one batch.

  5. Check your drive

    You'll get a notification when it's done. The original PNG is untouched; the WebP is a new file in your chosen destination.

FAQ

Will WebP look worse than PNG?

For most images, no — WebP can match PNG's quality (including transparency) at a meaningfully smaller file size.

Does this delete my original PNG?

No — the original stays untouched. The WebP is a new file written to your destination drive.

Can I convert a whole batch of images at once?

Yes — select as many files as you like and they run as one job with a shared progress feed.
