About

This API lets you to convert png images to webp format.
WebP offers notable advantages over PNG by providing enhanced compression, leading to smaller file sizes while preserving image quality. WebP's lossless compression outperforms PNG by approximately 26%, contributing to faster web page load times and reduced bandwidth consumption. Unlike PNG, WebP supports both lossy and lossless modes, allowing for greater flexibility in various scenarios. It also handles transparency and animations efficiently, matching PNG's features with improved performance. In summary, WebP's benefits make it an attractive alternative to PNG for modern web content optimization.
