SVG to WebP
WebP gives you PNG-quality images at a fraction of the file size. If you're optimizing for web performance, this is the format to use.
Why WebP instead of PNG?
WebP was created by Google specifically for the web. The main advantage: smaller files with the same visual quality. In practice:
- A 50KB PNG might become a 30KB WebP - same quality, loads faster
- Transparency works just like PNG (no quality loss on edges)
- All modern browsers support it (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
If you're building a website and care about page speed (you should - Google uses it for rankings), WebP is the default choice for raster images.
Lossy vs lossless
You get to choose:
- Lossless - Pixel-perfect, no compression artifacts. Best for graphics with sharp edges, text, and icons.
- Lossy - Slightly smaller files, imperceptible quality loss. Better for photographs and complex gradients.
For most SVG conversions (icons, logos, UI elements), lossless is the right choice since your source is vector anyway.
What about older browsers?
WebP has broad support now, but if you need to support Internet Explorer or very old Safari versions, you might need a PNG fallback. Most modern sites don't bother anymore - the user base on those browsers is tiny.
Frequently Asked Questions
For web use, yes. WebP is 25-35% smaller than PNG at the same quality, loads faster, and supports transparency. The only downside is older browser support.
Yes. WebP supports full alpha transparency, just like PNG. No quality loss on transparent edges.
For icons, logos, and graphics with sharp edges, use lossless. For photographs and complex images, lossy at 80-90% quality is usually fine.
All modern browsers do - Chrome, Firefox, Safari (14+), and Edge. Only IE11 and very old Safari versions don't.
Typically 25-35% smaller than an equivalent PNG. Complex images see bigger gains than simple graphics.
