About the formats

About PNG

PNG compresses without discarding any detail, and supports a full alpha channel for transparency. It is normally used for logos, icons, screenshots and any image with sharp edges or transparency. Lossless compression means photographs come out considerably larger than the same image as JPEG.

About WebP

WebP is a web image format that supports both lossy and lossless compression as well as transparency. It is normally used for images on modern websites, where smaller files mean faster pages. Older software and some print workflows still do not open WebP.

What happens to your file

Your file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own conversion servers over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and converted there in a temporary workspace, which is removed once processing completes. We do not keep copies, and we do not log file names or file contents.

Questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?
Yes. Converting this format needs software that cannot run in a browser, so the file is uploaded to FilesMagic's own servers over HTTPS, converted in a temporary workspace, and removed once processing completes.
Does converting PNG to WebP reduce quality?
PNG keeps all of its detail, and WebP does not, so the conversion discards some. For photographs the difference is usually hard to see; for sharp edges, text or line art it can be visible.
How big a file can I convert?
Files can be up to 25 MB. That is generous for this format - if a file is larger than that it is usually because of embedded images, and compressing those before converting normally brings it well under the limit.
