Preserve transparency when converting WebP
Both WebP and PNG can represent transparency. JPG cannot, so choosing the wrong destination format can introduce an unwanted solid background.
Why this happens
Both WebP and PNG can represent transparency. JPG cannot, so choosing the wrong destination format can introduce an unwanted solid background.
What to try first
Convert to PNG and inspect the result against a contrasting background. Existing compression artifacts in the WebP will not disappear merely by changing formats.
Try it on a fresh copy
- Choose the WebP image you want to use in an app that expects PNG.
- Convert and download the PNG.
- Check transparent edges against a contrasting background before placing the image into a design.
How to tell whether it worked
Check transparent edges and confirm that the browser decoded the source correctly.
