Does converting PNG to WebP preserve transparent backgrounds?

Yes! WebP fully supports 8-bit alpha channel transparency (just like PNG) while delivering 25% to 40% smaller file sizes than standard transparent PNGs.

Why should I convert my JPG photos to WebP for my website?

WebP images load faster, consume less cellular bandwidth, and directly improve your Google Core Web Vitals (Largest Contentful Paint) score for higher search rankings.

What happens to transparency when converting PNG to JPG?

Because the JPEG standard does not support transparent alpha channels, any transparent pixels will be filled with a solid background color (default is clean white #FFFFFF).
