Why use this converter?
Key details about this conversion path.
A deliberate lossy export
The configured WebP encoder permanently discards some decoded source information rather than preserving it losslessly.
Generally smaller output
The result is generally expected to be smaller, although content and settings still affect the final size.
PNG input and configured WebP output
PNG input is decoded for the configured pipeline. The image pipeline writes a quality-controlled lossy still WebP; it does not use WebP lossless mode or preserve animation.
